In plenty of other games you can get cosmetics/currency for climbing the ranked ladder, so why not add hextech chests/keys as rewards for climbing? In order to prevent abuse, players can be rewarded everytime they climb to a previously unmet rank. It'd motivate more people to play ranked/take it seriously, current rewards feel like a joke.
it's fine the way it is, you already get ton of free stuff
There are already end of season rewards, the cosmetic rewards you want already exist. If you get the victorious skin and don't own the champion yet, you can even get a gameplay reward of a free champion.
Your thread is invalid.
Because Riot is super extremaly greedy with what they have for sell.
Just look at the hextech cubes and how they work. It's not meant to reward you. It's just them making an 'X' mark under "give players a skin or something at least once per season for playing". The system is garbage, but Riot (and playerbase it seems) is fine with it.
Whoever works at Riot and has any power to change the game is heavily incompetent.
I've brought it up in a different post not that long ago, but it would actually help a lot with making their current ranked system work. Currently, the only reward you get for being above gold is a Victorious skin for that year, and everyone regardless of rank gets an icon showing their rank. That's great...for a general ranking.
But now that there are FIVE separate ranks, and issues with not getting LP for swapping an autofill to your main, there are a plethora of things adding a couple more rewards can help with. Just as a most basic example:
This would encourage people to play multiple roles, and attempt to actually get better at the game at the roles they're not as strong at, for the promise of greater rewards.
I was also going to save this idea for Riot to replace Prestige Edition skins (since the community does really like them so much as far as having to buy them goes) but maybe they should look into the route of allowing people to purchase animated loadscreen banners. Meaning, for example, that I could buy "Animators" for Nami, and my Nami loadscreen would show some sort of animation (using the default as an example, bubbles floating upwards, and her slowly moving back and forth in some way.)
That's obviously more busy work for Riot...but it'd be something that everyone would love to see, when they're usually just idly looking at a loadscreen and instead get to see a few people with animations.
The entire system they have is garbage though. Blue ess and orange ess are near worthless the chest system only benefits those who don't have all champions or drops cash for said boxes the rng in it is horrible. Also can you stop giving me champion shards on a per level basis like jesus im already at 200k blue ess again and nothing to do with it. Maybe just maybe you could have like a rotation of skins for massive amounts of blue ess. like a monthly rotation or you know what fucking chromas man that would be more legit than here is a shard for a champ we gave you 6 times already.
I'd rather just get a border that doesn't disappear the next season if I don't climb to the same rank again >_>.
It would be disrespectful for people who only play 4 fun in norms or just suck at the game and cant climb
