Hextech chests need to be only skins as champ shards are not rewarding

InfinitexMortal··10 votes·1,494 views

Have been sitting on 8 chests about 2 months now. Finally got 3 key fragments since their drop rate sucks open my chest and get a Teemo shard... A shard for a champ that costs 1350 and that most people have before even hitting level 15... yay ty riot so worth 2 months of grinding for keys. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

But for real can we keep champ shards out of hextech boxes since we can buy them for 1700 ip anyways?

Free stuff not good enough?

It's not free. There was a huge time investment put into unlocking that chest. Time is a limited resource like any other, so saying he's complaining about the quality of what he spent his time to get is like calling me out for complaining about your shit cooking that I waited 40 minutes for.

I could have gone to a different place, but I invested time into yours

Was he not going to play League otherwise? There literally were no free skins a year ago, other than some freebies for new players. They are just giving us free stuff. But it is randomized free stuff to keep it interesting and not make it damaging to profits.

That argument makes no sense. You play the game for fun, you have the option to buy skins if you want to invest but otherwise it is free. Riot decided to reward you for playing their game and give away their profit bringing skins for free. Sometimes you don't get something you want but it is free. Unless the only reason you play League is for chests...

It's "free". You don't seem to understand that by giving players the incentives to play (to unlock chests), they are increasing the number of players who are online at any given moment. This is NOT giving away free stuff. This is give and take. You play Riot's game, they give you a chest to unlock every so often. It's disappointing as hell when you open that chest and it's something you already own. It makes it seem like your incentive to play was a lie. And don't pretend that chests are a gift from Riot. They ARE incentive, or else Riot wouldn't give you a way to unlock them without RP

Honestly, I wish keys were not rarer than unicorns. I have 7 chests atm, and can earn another one. I am thinking about becoming a professional streamer, so I can have a chance at playing enough to get enough keys.

Umm, champ shards are needed for blue essence, which is needed to upgrade mastery level. Sooooo yeah champ shards are rewarding.

I have 7 chests and 22 champs on my alt account here, sitting with 4k orange essence because most skins I get are for champs I dont own. Would much rather be getting all champ shards

I own every champion and literally get nothing but champion shards when I open chests. Feels great.
