Why are honor capsules garbage?

I don't understand. They rarely ever drop. When they do, you get some low-cost champion shard 99% of the time as well as some key frags.

Using the key frags, you get another low-cost champion shard out of a regular box when you already have all of the champions.

I'd rather just run it down mid with 6 mobis than get my hopes up unboxing these.

Is this intended to be a reward or torture?

Edit: "why the fuck are you complaining about free stuff xd" I just stated in the post I have all of the champions, are you fucking illiterate? I get NOTHING usable out of these capsules. Sure I can wait for the blue essence shop in pre-season, but the only thing worth buying is urfwick and I'm nowhere close to buying that when I keep getting champ shards that disenchant for 87 essence.

They recently changed drop rates to be a bit more friendly and add a pity meter but holy crap I still haven't seen one. i really think droprate should scale with level or smth

I recently got Medieval Twitch, no complaints here. Also, they said you can only get one every 3 weeks, but it's close to 8 weeks between drops. Key fragments have been a couple of times a week for me, but that is determined by how often you play.

They're literally just upgraded key fragment drops, they're not supposed to be free bonus chests.

They only count as 1 fragment drop despite containing 2+, so it's also useful for people who haven't always managed to cap out on fragment drops and have a surplus of mastery chests they're hoping to open. Opening those chest might be torture for some, but thats just the nature of RNG, and theres going to be bad luck protection for chests soon anyway.

I got Poppy and Ryze, I'm not too bothered since I just need one more champ shard for a reroll, but literally any random skin would have been preferred.
