Frankly, Riot, you should be able to CHOOSE what skin you get out of the Honor 5 capsule

DarkSoul1994··12 votes·6,726 views

For example, Twitch is Mastery 4 on my account (primarily through ARAM/ARURF/One For All). I have no desire to own Medieval Twitch. By contrast, Warwick is Mastery 7 on my account. He is one of my most-played Champions. I really, really want Grey Warwick.

The fact that I have a 50-50 chance of being completely and utterly screwed over on a once-per-season capsule is a GIANT middle finger. Like, your chance of getting the skin you want isn't even affected by how much you play the champion - a Jungler main who plays a bunch of Warwick could end up with a skin for an ADC that they've literally never played in their life.

EDIT: My solution would be instead of giving players an 'Honor 5 Capsule' that randomly gives you stuff, we should get an Honor 5 Token (a Token that you get once per season for hitting Honor Level 5) that allows you to select either 'Grey Warwick' or 'Medieval Twitch' - the same way you would with Gemstones and Event Tokens.

That's a hypothetical. That said, if I got the skin for Twitch on this account (my smurf) I literally would have 0 Mastery on the champ.

But you still got it for free so yes...

Before I had honor 5 I would get free key fragments when I log on, now I dont get anything anymore.

that defeats the purpose of capsules/ chance based loot. don't u think?

DarkSoul19943 votes

I don't think it should be like that though. I think it should give you an Honor 5 token, and you select Grey Warwick or Medieval Twitch the same way you would with Gemstones or Event Tokens.

if you're talking exclusivley honor token, then it might be ok

Yes. An Honor Token that you get once per season for hitting Honor Level 5.

What if you play neither?

I mean, Riot could make skins for Top, Mid and Support champions if they changed the system so that you get to choose the skin. Maybe Neo Pax Jax & TF and a new skin for a support?

They give those skins because they are cheap and unlikely to be used. It's a free-bee gimmick, but one that they will stick with.

If you ask me, they should add more skins to the Honor Capsules. If you already have both skins, you're not going to get anything worth while until the end of the season.

I got a twitch skin.....I NEVER EVEN PLAY TWITCH.

I got both Grey and Medieval during last season, it's not limited to either during a single one. https://imgur.com/a/IpRE4c5

Do you mean Honor Capsules, or from Hextech Chests? Because the Honor System rewards got overhauled this season. All that I can get now that I'm Honor Level 5 is Key Shards, BE, and Champion Shards from Level 5+ Honor Orbs.

Did you just start playing this year? I've had both skins since last year, all i got is a ward skin, i'm not complaining it's free shit riot gives for not being a shitty teammate.

DarkSoul19941 votes

I got pretty unlucky with the Honor Capsules I got last season - pretty much all low IP champ shards.

Also, Urfwick was like 150000 BE so I have clearly been playing for more than a year.

Thank you Riot for making it take me three years to get 2 skins through the Honor system in spite of the fact that I have had Honor 5 every year since the system was introduced.
