Chests are really easy to get but i can't even open some of them since the RNG gods hate key drops

I've apparently collected all 4 alloted chests and i only just got my 6th key fragment after a massively one sided game. It seems weird that the chests which are performance based, happen to be easier than the actual keys to open them, not to mention you need at least 3 wins to get 3 shards for 1 key. To me this seems backwards, since all you need is some high elo player to carry you for free chests when they dominate on champions and get s ranks easily when they are in premades up against low elo players.

You'll end up collecting a ton of key shards while you're waiting for more chest unlocks to become available. It only seems so unbalanced now because the system literally just started and everyone has 4 chests available to unlock.

I guess since this is new, it is easier to earn chest also

I really wish keys would be obtainable for 10000 IP.

Those key fragments will likely catch up later in the season when you've already got S ranks on most of your champions.

You have the entire year to collect the fragments but only 4 chests per month. Chests don't expire, take your time.

Don't worry. The situation will soon reverse itself.

Well to get the keys or key fragments... You need to win matchmade games.

I win a decent amount, but it is always still a RNG in the end which decides. Technically speaking you could win every game for the entire season and RNG may never give you a key (although extremely unlikely)

another factor is the size of your premade, more people=higher rates

Gets a months worth of chests a couple days into the gig

guise key drop ratez too lool

You might be right if keys are about as difficult to procure as chests though requiring 3 S type game wins for a solid drop rate

I'm with you, I just got my sixth key frag as well. I gotta say you're supposed to earn the four boxes over the course of a month. So a key a day isnt too bad.

i know but i have unlocked 4 chests already so, this month is already over chest wise?
