Hey Riot, why isn't there a"Select #" option for redeeming tokens? Why the unnecessary repetition?

I've got 200+ of these arcade tokens and a handful of chests so I thought to myself: "Hey lets craft some keys!" How naive I was...

Why does it take me 10 minutes to unlock 5 chests because I have to not only scroll down the Arcade shop and buy 15 separate key fragments over and over again but then I have to ALSO craft each individual key afterwards? And don't even get me started on that BE conversion option at the very bottom, how long would it take someone to redeem however many tokens they have left after an event ends?

How hard could it possibly be to add a "Craft many" option? Hell you already have an "Open X# of chests" so you clearly have the technology available, so wtf?

You honestly expect a small indie company to have the resources for QoL stuff like that?

They're lazy and ignorant AS FUCK. We've been asking for this ever since the tokens first arrived, but Riot won't listen

There's already an option to craft as many keys as possible with the key fragments you have available. E.g. if you have 17 key fragments there is a button labeled "Forge 5" (or whatever word they use) and you just click it once and it uses 15 fragments to make 5 keys.

I think the reason for needing to buy those key fragments one at a time comes down to the "casino" feel they're going for (like every game's lockbox/lootbox does these days, to be fair). Flashing lights, fun sounds, etc. to entice people to spend.

The most likely reason is that they purposely don't implement such a feature so that you won't go through the trouble of convertign them all to BE, afterall the less BE someone has the more likely they are to spend money on somethng they want.

This is a change that should have happened ages ago. Its frustrating when you have 30+ points to spend and you have to unlock your blue essence...one...at...a....time.

Turning 10 extra tokens into BE... You convert 1 token to a 10 BE token(2 clicks), which you have to open(2 clicks)...

40 clicks and scrolling to make 100 BE is a huge waste of time.

This is something that has been bothering me every event. Especially when I convert my leftovers tokens into blue essences. I really hope this is going to get noticed and improved.
