Key Fragment Drop Rate

Mixed Melody··21 votes·21,442 views

I've noticed that after they implemented the new honor patch that supposedly only reduces key engagement drops for "unsportsmanlike" players, I've gotten absolutely no key drops. My honor is sitting at 2, I've only seen this issue being referenced once. So I was wondering if anyone else was facing this problem?

I haven't gotten any either, and I have played 16 matches since Honor 2.0. I hope there aren't any bugs.

Before the honor update, I was getting 2-5 keys fragments a day. Now? I get 0. Interesting..

Dude, how many games a day do you play? I haven't gotten key fragments in a week or more.

Before the honor update I would get about six key fragments at the beginning of the month, first two or three days. And then two key fragments for the entire rest of the month.

That's really weird because I've gotten upwards of 7 or 8 keys in the short time it's been out in the OCE Server. 7 - 8 keys over 2 weeks is more then I EVER got from the old system.

It literally came out in NA like, 2 days ago. Stop whining and just be patient.

About 30 games, and zero keys. I logged in today and got a key upon login with a message that said "for being sportsmanlike <3".

You should be getting the same key drops as before at lvl 2. Below none or less, above more.

I don't think they've actually said that our fragment rate increases for honour levels above 2. There's the capsules that have a couple fragments at level 3+, but the fragment drops themselves I think are the same rate from 2-5 as far as I can tell.

To anyone who says they havent gotten keys, i ask when they shouldve reset? You can still earn a maximum of that amount within a month, so if your keys in that month havent resetted yet, i wouldnt expect bonus keys.

Mine reset around the 15th, so I will be able to judge key drop rates after that.

i didnt play the game for almost 40 days so my drop rate should be maxed out,i played 40 games this week with no drop.

Riot keeps it's secrets very safely, otherwise players would start abusing that knowledge to get better honor and more keyfragments. Just play and play and keys will eventually drop. Same thing goes for honor capsules at Honor 3 and more. I get fragments every 4-5 days, maybe week.

The system is broken. I'm honor level 3, and get plenty of honors. Yet I have 13 chests and have gotten 2 key fragments in the past 2 weeks. Thanks rito.

I don't get any keyfragments and I am honor lvl 5 lol

Mysticman891 votes

Well remember that keys don't drop after games anymore, and instead 'randomly' when out of the lobby and when logging in, so it may end up that although you haven't had any so far, you may have still earned some that'll show up later.

That said, I'm pretty sure I'd earned my max fragments already before the new honour came out (and I suspect many people would be in a similar boat of being maxxed or close at this time in the cycle), so it'll probably be another week or two before I can start getting them via honour.

I rarely get key fragments anyway , let's say I mostly get 2 keys in a day iin the last 3 days I've been playing without stopping since this honor system started , In the first day I got no keys but when I logged in the next day , Riot gave me a key as a surprise , but in the second I got nothing xD NOT EVEN IN THE 3RD DAY , I had this chest need to open , I need 1 key fragment but nothing .... I had many players honored me but still I'm stuck to lvl 2

Key fragments seem to now be granted to you the next time you log into the game rather than dropping right after a match.

Keep in mind that drop rates reduce as more fragments drop up to a maximum of 12 fragments (4 keys) until 30 days has passed and the drop rate resets, so if you already have most of your key fragments for this month then your drop rate should be very low.

when i logged in today i got one for being sportsmanlike XD

Mixed Melody1 votes

This thread is mostly dead, however I logged on today and I received 4 key fragments at once. I thought it was worth letting everyone know who was curious what happened in the end. So I guess we'll just cumulatively receive large amounts of keys instead of 1 every few games. No comment on how I feel about that, but my issue was resolved. Thanks for everyone's input.

LOL hate you, omg i have not received a key for a week, honor level 5 spent £40 and got two god fist lee sins :/

Ronrr1 votes

I have honor level 0, and i never recieve any chest ? what's the reason, i get honor all the time because i main support, might the reason be just because im honor lvl 0 or something else ?

U or a premate need an S- or higher performance for u both to get chest

i haven't played in 8 months, came back abt 3 weeks ago, no fragments dropped, i got a couple from riot

Arekanderia1 votes

I haven't gotten a key fragment since about a week after the stupid hextech bullshit started. Just a gimmick for more fucking money, go figure. Have 15 chests and 2 fragments. So much for "IP will be able to be utilized for skins and items". Orange essence, blue essence, uneven match making... just prioritizing the money and not the players, barely even the game.

I mean i do not get Riot.. Why isnt the system just easier ? Why can not we just get like 1 key fragment per .. idk.. 5-10 honors ? I mean that would make sence right ? Encourages players to act politelly, and that is what is behind the Mystery crafting system. So, lets see how this gets soluted..
