Imbalanced drop rate for keys and chests - don't make me spend money :(

Howlongisnow·Nov 27, 2016·1 votes·333 views

I have 8 chests and no keys :( And it seems that the chests will continue to stack up.

I've read somewhere that you roughly need 80 wins per month to get your 12 keys and at that same time every time you or one of your premades gets S- or more you get a chest. That seems pretty imbalanced to me.

It would be nice if the overall drop rate chances of 3 keys were the same as one chest and also have the option to do something with the extra keys or chests.

Riot can you address those issues please?

PS. Don't tell me that I can buy keys from the store :(

The drop rates for keys reset over time, you should be able to get about 4 keys in the time it takes to have 4 available chests.

Thanks for the answer. However I don't get quite what you said.

I was under the impression that the drop rate for keys resets every month. And the time to have 4 available chests is one month, but for 4 chests you need 12 keys, not 4.

What I'm saying is that in a month you need many more games to get 12 keys than 4 chests.

4 keys, as in, 16 key fragments (check yo math) drop fairly consistently for me monthly
