Issue with Level 6 and 7 Mastery/Hextech Crafting

So I am a Kha' Zix main, and once I found out that you can get level 6 and 7 mastery I was happy because I'm able to level him further (already had him level 5 mastery of course, and was just racking champion points) I get 2 S's in the first few games trying as hard as I can to get them. All this effort however is a complete wash due to the fact that they require blue essence in order to combine the two tokens, when I currently have no champion shards, nor any blue essense. If you're trying to showcase skill rather than time on a champion, then it doesn't make sense to have an RNG mechanic external to the gameplay portion of it, considering I currently have 3 boxes and not a single key shard to open them, meaning that if I want to access this "free" system now rather than later, I need to pay money.

Don't do it. Hextech chests have RNG mechanics and will not guarantee you a champion shard to disenchant for essence.

Riot has indicated that Character Shards will be readily available for purchase with IP (and RP too because they are a business). The delay in this is due to indecision over how they want to go about doing this. I've seen them toy with the idea of releasing champion shard bundles specific to Demacia and the like. Obviously a random shard generator is also being considered.
