$100 and counting fed into the hextech system for Hextech Annie.

and I have a grand total of 3 gemstones to show for it.

Can Riot seriously please rethink how EXPENSIVE they made this skin because of how difficult it is to get. The only skin i want from this is Hextech Annie (As I am an Annie main), i really dont care about anything else, I mean this new system isint fun for me, its just frustrating, at this point i;m groaning and telling myself "God I can't way to be done with hextech crafting."

They don't want you to spend money on Hextech Annie, the amount of money you'd need to spend to get her would be beyond exorbitant. It's supposed to be a reward for playing a lot of games over a decent length of time - not instant gratification.

I know it sucks because the skin is amazing but you're gonna have to wait for it, and I'd recommend you stop wasting your money.

"Oh no, of course we didn't. We didn't intend for people to be buying Hextech Chests and not getting the needed gems that we set at a very low drop-rate. It's a shame."

I never said they think it was a shame. I'm sure Riot is very happy that people are stupidly wasting money on something they can get for free. But it's extremely clear to anyone with basic sense that money is not the primary way to acquire this skin.

Yes, that is the point I was making.

"But it's extremely clear to anyone with basic sense that money is not the primary way to acquire this skin."

The opposite, actually. It's clear that money IS the primary way to acquire this skin.

Because the alternative is to get every chest and save every gem for 4 years while hoping you are on the lucky side of the drop-rate.

I think it was more of a fun thing they kinda threw in there. I dont think the intention was people would just try and straight grind it out. I mean, just use one of annie's other 20 skins.

Like, this is just painful for me, I am literally cringing on how this new system is punishing me. it's not rewarding me at all its literally punishing me.

That's just not fair.

tbh i love annie an really want the skin but seeing people have to spend 100+ to get it it is not worth it at all in my eyes o.o

SlythionMar 24, 20161 votes

Maybe have fun with the system and let it reward you for playing instead of trying to grind out one skin through wasted money?
