[Proposal] Rotating the Content Available in Loot Boxes

With the new changes to our runes and particularly our honor system coming soon, I want to address the current situation regarding the Loot box system. There is no actual problem with the Loot box system as it is currently but I feel a simple change can make the system much better for the player base and League in general.

Here is my short-ish proposal:

• Changes with New Honor System: I am under the impression that with the new honor system, the way a player gets key fragments will change with it. The drops are now tied with the new honor system and do not rely on a player to win their games. All the player needs to do are play games and not be a jerk. The important part is that you no longer need to win for a chance to get a fragment. This means the fragments will be more readily available for the general player base.

• Current Situation: As soon as a player has enough keys or a loot box to open one, the player will immediately open the box without giving it a single thought. There is no real excitement or investment going into the loot box system.

• Proposal: Take advantage of the general increase of keys and get the player base excited to use their keys. by rotating the content available in the loot boxes on a set schedule.

• Explanation: Currently, almost all the content is available in the loot boxes which means the chance of a player getting the shard they want is very low. This results in players opening a loot box just because they can do so. The chances are too low for players to really "hope" for a favorable shard drop and thus do not invest into the system. To get players excited again, I believe a system of rotating the content available in the loot box is the answer. Rotating the content available in the loot boxes will give the players enough control over their chances for a favorable drop to get them invested once again.

• For the Players: Rotating the content will give the players a higher chance for a favorable drop. For players with the problem of having not enough keys/boxes, buying that one key/box with RP will be a real option; especially, if they have leftover RP. Players will be getting free content either way but by rotating the content available in the loot boxes, players can hope for a meaningful drop. (Meaningful meaning content that the player will use).

• For Riot Games: There will be extra work going into the rotating system but this system will give Riot control over what content is available and when. This system fits well into the "events" League of Legends has held in the past by controlling the content in the loot boxes. Riot should use this control to encourage more purchasing of loot boxes and keys throughout the year rather than only at certain events. Most importantly, this new system for the loot boxes will generate more excitement over the boxes in general and increase the purchases of the said boxes outside of events.

• Extra: Maybe add a one-time re-roll option for RP/IP?

TL;DR - Easier key fragment drops with new honor system (as long as you're not a jerk) means an opportunity for Rito to make Loot Boxes more exciting and appealing. Current system is boring, and new system will introduce a rotating content available in loot boxes. Players now have choice of when to open their boxes and thus will be more invested in the system
