Chest:Key ratio

Gingerborn··1 votes·501 views

I believe there are three types of people in this world; Those with many chests but no keys, those with many keys but no chests and the luckiest people alive. I fall into the "Many chests no keys" category, at the current moment in time I have 19 chests and 1 key fragment I unlock about one chest per week and a half if I am lucky, however, I have many friends who are either one tricks or just don't get S ranks so they have tons of keys but no chests. I propose a good idea set of ideas that can help the unlucky folk like myself get the keys they need.

  1. The more Chests you have the more likely you are to get a key
  2. Being able to purchase multiple keys i.e. purchasing 10 keys for the price of 5 chests & 5 keys
  3. Being able to turn chests into keys (even if it was like 2 chests for a key I wouldn't mind)
  4. Being able to trade with other people (chest for key and vice versa)

Honestly, anything would work we just need something that will fix this issue for people who do play a variety of champs or those who are just unlucky.

How do people end up with more chests since you can only get 1 per week?

I've just been extremely unlucky with keys like I said I get a key in around 1.5 weeks if I am lucky, I have also only gotten one gemstone out of all the chests since the loot system launched. When it comes to getting chests I like experimenting with different champs in support which generally gets me an S at least once per week.

but keys come at 4 per month, as long as you win a handful of games....it should equal chests.

I play around 3-4 normal games a day and around 2 ARAM games I generally win around 50% of my normal games but I still have horrible luck. There was one time I was able to drop the number of chests to about 12 but then I had a huge lack of keys for a very long time. Since around the 4th week since the launch of the loot system, I've never had more keys than chests while people I play with who are generally one tricks or even people who I know who play solo but aren't very good all have 5+ keys.

Except some days you'd have to win something like 5 games for 1 fragment when their formula says you've already obtained a few keys this month so the last few keys take much more winning to get. Also you can get boxes from S grades even when you lose where keys are just on wins

Another option I'd like would be to convert keys to boxes for those who have tons of keys and no boxes, but converting to boxes would use up the box allowance. IE if you have 2 boxes obtainable and 20 keys you can only convert enough keys to burn those 2 box bank charges. Even at something like 5 keys for 1 box I think would be fair

On my main I have about 80% of the champs available and in ranked 5s I'd only use the same 10 or so champs but can play around 30 to an S level especially in 3s or norms. I never let the box bank build up then once I run out of the champs I'm good at I just play with friends who then get S grades on my back line champs. Have 9 boxes and 1 fragment. Only do average 1-2 games a night so thats usually not enough to get 1 full key when RITO put in diminishing returns on fragments

The more you play the more keys you get but if you play less with high performance then you'll get more boxes than keys

Even on this alt account with just 26 champs I have boxes on 18 of them already and play even less than the 1 a night so boxes build up even more

My experiences so far:

Once i got like 8 keys, because i played a lot.

A few months later i didnt play that much, got chests tho, used all the keys, now i have 3 chests and no keys...

My friends are just the same, that's where I got the idea for trading. I also agree with Level 18 Feeder who said conversions for chests should also be possible that way everyone wins.
