Loot System - Rube-Goldberg Machine Of Nonsense

Is there any particular reason I have to take 500 steps to turn 2,000 Nexus tokens into hex key fragments? I really have to do every single thing in the Loot system one... at... a... time? There are some things you can get DOZENS of, especially events, and I've likely sat this Snowdown Showdown for a few hours total just converting loose change.

Honestly. The steps to make a Hextech Key and Masterwork Chest:

  1. Click Tokens.
  • Click Key Fragment
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Click Key Fragment
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Click Key Fragment
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Click Key Fragments
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Click Chest
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Click Chest
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Open
  • Click Forge
  • Wait For Graphic
  • Click Add To Loot
  • Disenchant Skin I Already Have.

Repeat All Steps 50 times.

THAT IS FOR EVERY DAMNED CHEST/KEY COMBO

It's been awhile now, can't you add the option for Multiples? Hell, I could script the ability for multiples into the interface in under an hour.

Edit: Moved it back to Gameplay after considering it. Namely because it feels like playing a damned mini game.

Also: Why can't I set it to skip the silly animations every time I want to do something? It takes 5x longer than the task at hand for pomp and circumstance for everything I open.

I have to disagree with your statement OP.... You are simply WRONG!

A "rube-goldberg-machine" would require one step, then run automatically as each action triggers the next one to start, so-on and so-on, by itself to completion.

The way Riot has the loot system now, is a bit more like copying the dictionary... Then when youve copied 50 words, youre allowed to go to recess.

Joking aside...

I agree though. The system needs streamlining; as it is, its pointlessly time consuming, and tedious.

because they don't want you to turn them into key fragments they want you to buy keys with money so they make the steps to turn that shit into keys extremely tedious.
