Popping a chest and getting just an emote REALLY has driven the value of chests way down for me personally. I've bought before on multiple occasions and I've considered doing so again (despite OE nerf), until I got my single emote just earlier today.
They don't feel like they're worth a thing and that's kind of disappointing. Used to love opening those bad boys.
ValyrianBlade8 votesYea, this bothers me more than anything else.
You get an emote - you can't disenchant it for blue or orange essence. You automatically get it. That SUCKS. It's fine that I rolled the crap-pot on a chest, but let me disenchant it for 100 orange essence at least. I have like 6 or 7 emotes now, I can't even use them all (and I didn't want ANY).
Then there's the whole fact that Riot lowered disenchant values because they wanted to let us get more rewards. That equation doesn't add up when they've made emotes not only a possible reward, but actually a fairly common one. Pretty BS that they've made chests give you stuff less often AND made the stuff you get worth less when they do.
I was always super excited for chests and even though I never wanted almost every skin shard I ever got, I was never disappointed with my chest rewards. I saved all the skin shards (and disenchanted them all right before the changes to get full value) but had liked having them there and thinking of my skin options if I ever decided to pick up any of those champions. If I got a champion shard I didn't mind at all either because I don't own all champions and it'd save me IP from buying mystery shards to get essence for my mastery 6s and 7s.
Now I get an emote and it's like "okay, that chest was a total waste." Then I get a champion on the next chest and even though in the past that never bothered me (and I got Zoe who I didn't own, so it was actually a pretty big IP bonus for me) I was actually disappointed again because it meant I'd gone 3 chests in a row without a skin shard (as the one before the emote was a champion shard too, although I was fine with that one).
RenownedWheat422 votesTook the words outta my mouth with this. I didn't even mind the OE nerf that much - to clarify, while it did bug me, it didn't hit my satisfaction from opening chests quite as much as the addition of (completely worthless) emotes.
DariusDemiurge4 votesI feel the same about icons. Since I have the two ones I want and don't care for the thousands of other ones. Until more cute Morgana and Kayle icons are made.
ChompyWulf4 votesReally takes the special out of getting an S on an autofilled match when it's another crap champ shard or emote you get from the chest.
flibitydoo2 voteswhoa whoa whoa
you're opening chests and not getting 90 BE worth in champion shards?
man I am super excited for hextech chests now!
Mad Fridge1 votesI'm gonna bump this forum post. My first one ever playing from season 1. I would like emotes removed from the game, but i will settle at being able to disenchant them for atleast some orange essence. Or hell, even blue essence.
Do something about it please. I have 23 emotes and i would sell all of them for 10 blue essence if i could.
