Problems With Hex-Tech Crafting

So after paying some odd amount of money to the Hex-Tech Crafting System, I came to a conclusion that this system was rushed and was not well planned out. Some of you may not agree with what I am about to say because we all have our own personal opinions on this. So all I am asking is for you not to flame me or be %%%%s to me.

Lets get into it.

First, the concept of the Crafting System is can be a lot better because there is no logic behind some parts of it. I mean you can literally compare the Blue and Orange essence to the IP and RP system. Mainly because it you can literally use IP to buy champions and runes, just like the blue essence. Of course it is pretty obvious orange essence can be used to buy everything else.

Blue Essence can only buy champions and Orange Essence can buy everything else.

The problem with this is that if you own all champions, and you keep getting champions over anything else will you are literally wasting your money. Since you literally cannot use the Blue Essence. So what in the hell are you suppose to do with this...nothing. I personally think a good way to fix this is by merging chroma and the blue essence together. There are some people who use chroma (said no one ever) this would give riot a somewhat reason to make more chroma skins and for people to acknowledge that chroma exist.

If you think about it, out of 10 games how many people on either your team or the enemy team are using chroma skin? None, that is the answer.

So this can literally, help riot re brand the chroma skins and maybe we can get that nice zed chroma pack that was suppose to come out last year. By the way still no news on that riot.

Second, I think getting the same item more than once is actually stupid unless you can trade it with a friend, but that feature isn't added in yet. So seems a bit pointless. This just goes back to how I was saying the system wasn't well laid out and not a lot of player feedback was read from Riots end. I mean if riot found a way to make its player base happy instead of looking for quick cash grab from the player base. Instead Riot should look for ways to make this better.

Third, getting keys shouldn't as difficult as people getting out of bronze. They should be a bit more easier but if they are limited that is fine but playing 50 games and getting not even 1 key is a bit upsetting. However it was nice of riot to make it so that you can get keys in aram and other places. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, getting 4 boxes a month is sort of odd. I think getting more but the chases decreases buy a percentage amount that would make boxes feel more integrated into the game while also limiting us from getting unlimited boxes unless you are some lucky god like human.

When this was announced, I was excited but after feeling pretty upset with the outcome I just felt cheated. The system could have been great but Riot just so it has another way to get more money from the players. This upsets a lot of people and the system can be made better.

That is all I have to say.

since the boxes are limited anyways, they could make keys available for ip imo.

im sitting on so much ip and im not going to use them on anything else than new champions anymore. i already have every single champion. at least let me use them to open those 2 boxes i have sitting around.

they could also do away with blue essence completely and replace it with ip. its kinda redundant, since it does exactly the same thing. the blue shards could act as discount tokens for the champions instead.

and have orange essence just called "essence".
