@Riot Are we ever going to get the personal store again?

You know, like the one we had for Snowdown 2015 where Riot pretended that they cared about us and gave us discounts on like five skins for champions were actually have and play regularly? That was my favorite, it made me feel so special and I appreciated that Riot went to such lengths to give me a personalized experience that I did utilize and happily throw my money at them for skins I actually wanted.

But then like...this past year for Snowdown 2016 Riot was all like "Hey, we know what you want! You want hextech crafting to randomly give you a whatever random skin shard for whatever random champion that you still have to use essence that you may or may not have in order to unlock it. Just buy this hextech chest and see what random item you get!"

Like what. Why bother going through the hextech crafting to get a random champion, skin, ward, or icon shard...when you could just do the mystery gift chest which does virtually the same exact thing except you're at least guaranteed a skin for a champion you actually own?

Like, I get that the personalized shop makes Riot lose money if people utilize the sales, but at least it was a way for Riot to be like "Hey, we appreciate you." Now giving us the seasonal hextech boxes that don't guarantee anything that you're actually interested in is just cheap, like as if Riot is just brushing the players off their shoulder like "Pfft, whatever, I'm going to get your money anyway so what do I care if you're happy or not?"

Riot, please.

The Personal Shops have take backseat to considerable updates like the client itself, training mode, and including all of the rotating game modes that people are clamoring for. Since April is only a few months away, I'd bet money they're focused on getting URF implemented again to quell the thirst these people have for it.

My shops were terrible, they were all skins for champions I already owned a better skin for, bad skins I'd never want no matter what, or just really pathetic "deals" that were barely less than normal price, meaning I would be better off waiting for a 50% off sale.

Some of my sales were really great. The first personalized shop they did, they offered Koi Nami to me at 30% off, but that also included Nami because I didn't already have her. Then another shop they offered Arcade Sona at 75% off.

Like sure, they also offered skins I could not care less for, like Commando Lux at 90% off and Blade Mistress Morgana at 40% off, but I wasn't offended by the obviously less appealing deals because the skins I really did like were available for a steal.

I hope not. There was at least one event where I think I bought all of them. Like, slowly, they just pulled the money out of me.

By all means, continue this garbage new version you have. I have 2500 RP sitting on my account waiting for something worth while to come along.

I wouldn't even mind if they only brought it back once a year, cuz otherwise I try not to throw too much money at Riot, but those sales were delicious
