My loot inventory is just going to gather dust
I have 5 skin shards, three where there before the preseason started with one being an Epic Shard, one was gotten from a box and the other from a skin orb from the PROJECT event. Besides the Epic, they are all 975 RP skins. 2 ward skin shards, one was there before the preseason and one was gotten from a box.
Chances are I'm never actually going to be able to get any of them. Before these changes I would probably only have to disenchant 2 shards for at least one skin now I would have to disenchant at least 4 shards to get one skin. If i wanted the Epic I would have to disenchant everything. I know I can reroll three skin shards for one but why would I? Why would I take the chance for a random skin when I already took a chance to get a random skin shard when I opened the container? Also as someone who owns way more champions than they play, why would I take the chance on getting a skin for a champion I actively avoid playing?
It's honestly disappointing how terrible the loot system has become in this preseason and I'm positive it's not subject to change as Riot hasn't really talked about the issue. I spent 5 dollars during this preseason for a skin that was on sale, the left over RP was used to get a box. Before these changes, I would have no problem spending money on strictly boxes because to me, it was an enjoyable experience, I wasn't picky about what I got and would almost always get something that I wanted. If I bough 5 boxes, got 5 skins, and only wanted one I could still get a decent amount of essence for the next box I open. I really don't plan on spending money on this game anymore, it's really just a terrible experience.
