There are not enough free boxes....

herbiko04··20 votes·7,566 views

I do not like the fact that there are only 4 boxes that can be obtained monthly.There are about 140 heroes to get boxes, and players have the chance to win only 40 boxes throughout the season (the season lasts about 10 months * 4 boxes per month = 40 boxes during the season) , but there are still about 100 heroes with which you can get boxes.What do you think?

I honestly think it is absolutely fine the way it is. It just feels like people want the opportunity to get 100 skin shards a year for free.

I'm in the same boat - pretty content with the current situation. Honestly, I barely play enough champs well to get the boxes available to me... lol

True. But it does feel VERY bad when you get a champ shard.

Agree , but you cant get champ shards 140 times.

I think I'd prefer working a bit harder for the chests if I could ensure I'd get a skin shard. Sometimes, I put so much effort into getting a chest, wait a week or two for a key, only to get yet another trundle shard, even though I've owned every champ for 2 or 3 seasons.

Hey... hey... guess what.... you need money to run a game company.... Get over yourself, you're already getting tons of shit for free!

you get 52 boxes a year, 1 per week. idk where youre getting 40 from. You also get champs from level up capsules, and is your main source of champs/blue essence

I don't think anyone's talking about champ shards here. For example, I have absolutely no use for them.

Huuuh, if you get the max amount of chests already (and you probably do, or you wouldn't ask for more), how do you have enough keys to open them all? I got 40 chests this seasons from S, plus a couple more from missions, and I still have 5 un-opened chests because I don't have enough keys...

I think its much more harder to get chests than keys.

DeathBurst1 votes

Well, you got the max limit of 40 chests over the year you mentioned in your OP? And you still have spare keys?

Because personally, yes, I did get all 40 chests, and I already can't open then all. I have no keys and 5 chests left. So if Riot adds even more chests, that doesn't help me. I need more keys, not more chests

I always have ~5 chests more than keys, so I guess there are problems on both sides.

No amount of free boxes would be a enough for me, because I stopped being able to reasonably earn them this season since games were far too short and snowbally. So thank god for that. I was finally able to quit.

SO VERY TRUE

I think the problem is that the chest rate and key drop rate aren't the same. When I got every box I could last season, I ended up with WAY more than keys (honor 5 both last and this season).

I need keys, i have a constant stock pile of 14-16 chests at any time on my main account. accruing large numbers of keys is damn near impossible.

Edit : i get a key fragment almost every other time i log in (honor 5). doesn't even put a dent in the amount of chests i get.

How? I get no less than 1-2 key shards literally every time I log in. I can't remember the last time in the past year I've logged in for the first time in a day and not gotten a key shard for getting honored a lot or whatever it is. I've not one single time ever had more boxes than keys cause I've always had plenty of keys to open the second I get a box.

I frequently have games with S grades, and i own all the champs, so when friends get S's i get chests too, maybe that's one of the reasons my key fragments cant keep up?

I have basically 50 boxes and no keys. Ever since the advent of the system, the boxes have severely outlasted my keys honestly -- even though I get honors every other game and give them out every game.

I can't remember the last time I logged on and didn't get like 2 key shards. Literally every time I log in I have a key shard. I find this super hard to believe unless you are getting reported a lot or are toxic enough you are getting no honors. I get key shards like a fat kid trick or treating in a rich neighborhood these days.

Weird way to spell keys. Lol.

I just wish Gemstones weren't so damn rare.

I've bought 10 Worlds Orbs, one Spooky Orb and one K/DA Orb.

Guess what, not a single Gemstone.

Spoiled as people these days. When I started out we would sit down to play and plan out who we were gonna buy next cause 6300 ip was holy crap hard to get and took a while. There were no free champions for leveling up. There were no free boxes with free skins and champs for doing well. You got what you got when you got enough IP or you bought IP boosts, and that was it.

It took me years of grinding to unlock every champ, and now I see people whining that there aren't enough free boxes you get for playing the game. You can easily get like 6 free champs a month between level up capsules and boxes.

I think you should be thankful Riot is handing out champs like candy these days cause back when I started playing you'd barely have enough champs to even join ranked by the time you hit level 30 without IP boosts.

Honestly the keys taking forever are annoying I get the boxes so fast and they just sit there. I haven't gotten any key fragments since before I got level 3 honor the other day so I would be sitting at 3 unopened boxes without that. It is probably different for people who have been sitting at level 5 getting those phat full key orbs for months but the box/key system outside of the honor system is setup where boxes can be unlocked a lot faster and then have a really long cooldown.

More boxes? I don't have nearly enough keys for my boxes!
