Step 1.Give the chance for everyone to get premium content for free,key fragments/chests. Step 2.Limit the player's access to the premium content using a visually fair system,honors,to avoid community outcry. step 3.gain money by players simply trying to get what they used to get for free.

Since the system has been introduced, you'd lose access to the rewards after a punishment.

This doesn't really change anything.

the amount of key fragments has been reduced to nearly 1/4th of what the average non toxic player used to get.

Every Red Post says the amount of key frags remains constant for the same number of games played between the two systems. So, source on your statement?

does it for honor level 2 though?

o r only when you leveled high enough? because to me it looks like theyre just not dropping anymore. and no ive not been punished once in 7 years.

Yes. The "capsules" from Lvl3 and above are a bonus compared to the old situation.

And hum, the system is out for a week, while key frags are on a 30-day cycles, so how does you not getting any frags give us any useful information?

That's a lot of assumptions. I'd say wait for a couple months and see at that point. There could also be bugs for the transition phase but still the same amount of keys once the system is all set up properly.

Or Riot could be lying, sure. But they have been pretty explicit about it, we should get just as many keys as before at LvL2. Just go in that huge "Let's discuss about Honor" thread and there are at least 3 different comments saying that.

In the last week, I've gotten ~5 from games plus 2 bonus fragments for good behaviour.

I haven't noticed a difference.

since the new honor system keys no longer drop from games won but on login.this is what is being discussed here.

Huh, I must have gotten those keys from just before the system went live then.

Anyways, I've still gotten two key fragments since the system was released.

If that stays consistent for the rest of the month, I'll have roughly the same amount of keys as I previously earned.

What are you talking about everything in hextech chest cost money. You used to have to buy skins with no way of getting them for free.

You still get them normally BUT your chances are higher if you are not an asshole. Is that so hard? If you don't care about free shit nothing changed at all. If you do care, then you better try to be a normal human being

Rainfall1 votes

no you dont get them normaly and i am not an asshole i have never been chat restricted and i get honored at an average once per game my honor is level 2 i have played almost 70 games this week winning more than half and i have 1 key fragment.

So where do I go to pay for Grey Warwick and Medieval Twitch?

The difference between the current key drop and the previous key drop is that

  1. You can get keys even if you lose now.
  2. You only lose key drops if you're punished.
  3. You will get more premium stuff if you advance the honour ranks, which progresses as you play and actually getting honoured only means it levels faster.
  4. Grey WW and Medieval Twitch are back.

So what are you complaining about, OP?

The only problem I see with the new system is that the key drop is now very inconsistent and comes in batches (it's like it misses the drops sometimes and would "catch up" by dropping you lots in 1 go), and come either with screen-blocking announcements (usually at next time you log on) or it would just suddenly show up in your loots without any notice. Otherwise, I really don't see much faults in the new system really.

Don't forget that bad luck might also be a factor.
