I worked on completing those missions with gross amounts of focus. I hit the 140, and what do I get...
Count Vlad and 20 Order Tokens.
Count Vlad? One of the few skins that make the classic skin look like a skin. C'maaaaaaan.
NinjaGuy696 votesIt's highly unlikely that you'll get a skin shard that you actually want given the fact that there are over 200 legacy skins in the game and most of them are older, shitty skins. I got Sailor Gangplank, which isn't exactly what I wanted but it's better than nothing.

I hate gambling systems to begin with. I bought the Passes and got one orb of each. I already disenchanted both but the one I remember is Imperial Lux- why would I ever use that one when I have Steel Legion, Star Guardian AND Elementalist to choose from?
Lesson: Don't waste tokens on orbs unless you love the thrill of surprise.
NinjaGuy694 votesLesson: Don't waste tokens on orbs unless you love the thrill of surprise.
I'm not a gambling man either. But in my personal opinion, if you're earning the tokens for free through the daily missions, then the orbs are the best thing you can use them on (unfortunately). I don't care much for summoner icons nor do I need any mystery champion shards (because I have over 340k IP atm) so if I can take a chance on a really nice skin, then I'll do it - especially if I don't have to spend any money to get the orbs.
Krigjer1 votesBut in my personal opinion
That's just it, it's personal opinion. I'm buying the icons so the orbs are a super waste to me.
If I have any tokens left after buying the icons I might buy an orb, but I wouldn't buy tokens specifically to throw them at the orbs (There's a bundle of 700 tokens in the shop for example).
NinjaGuy693 votesI mean if you want the icons that badly, then go for it dude. Good luck with that orb too.
SzGamer2271 votes^ This guy's got the whole situation on lock
RookPusher1 votesI don't get what the benefit is to getting the icons
Krigjer2 votesI don't get what the benefit is to getting the icons
I like collecting icons.
I have a friend that will mystery gift with anyone he can, because he likes collecting skins, even for champions he only plays in aram. Sometimes it's wise not to question collectors.
The Ginger Ninga1 votesI got Mundo Mundo, which isn't that great, but damn if I won't use it every time I play Mundo.
Quepha5 votesOrbs are basically a scam.
Riot made a big deal about how you could get TWO! (2) (That's more than one!) gemstones but didn't bother to tell anyone that the droprate was half as likely as it is from normal chests. They were freaking about how you could get Hextech Annie/Soulstealer Vayne directly (Oh my god you just get it without spending any gemstones! How Amazing!) but almost no one has seen it drop even from large sample sizes so it's possible those are also exactly as rare as they are from hextech chests.

I spent $25 on orbs and got 4 gemstones. Still feels like a bit of a rip-off truth be told. Holding them until rito releases better hextech skins.
SS vayne is a 975 skin and hextech annie is worth 1350

Those orbs are a scam. The chance you'll actually get 2 gemstones or one of the Hextech exclusive skin shards is probably so low that you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars just to get a payout.
SzGamer2271 votesBut when you have to spend hundreds of dollars on the standard way of obtaining gems, is it really a scam?
The only reliable way there has ever been to purchase a gem is completing all the missions on the premium questline for this event, and that only gets you one gem once.

Not entirely true, there was a bundle called the Augment+ Bundle released with PROJECT: DISRUPTION for 2950 RP that came with a guaranteed Gemstone and 10 Augment Caches. It could be bought once daily for five days. Another Gemstone could be purchased with the First Strike Augment+ Bundle which was 8220 RP. It had PROJECT: Ekko, PROJECT: Katarina, PROJECT: Ashe, 10 Augment Caches, and an Icon for each PROJECT Skin, along with some bonus stuff. Additionally, there was random but somewhat reliable way to get Gemstones: Lunar Revel Crafting. Revel Red Envelopes were 250 RP and came with a Skin Shard and one of three Relics (chosen randomly). The most common Relic was the Golden Relic. Five Golden Relics could be crafted together to forge a Gemstone.

Çhåryzård2 votesTbh I don't care much for this event, I just sided with order because fuck Yasuo and I just saved up for the orb because I don't care for the icons.
I got that christmas Miss Fortune skin and some order tokens, not too bad, no complaints. I just wish it didn't take me SO LONG to get to 140 tokens.
Every day the missions I got either gave me 10 tokens and 10 tokens or 10 tokens and 20 tokens.
RookPusher1 votesUpvoted for Yasuo hate.
Also, it's just dawned on me that the one thing universally hated in WoW were the daily quests...why Rito?
RavenMagus2 votesI've opened... 6 orbs now, I think?
I've gotten Count Vladimir, Headless Hecarim, Valentines Varus, Muse Sona, SKT Jax, SKT Renekton.
I've also gotten 2 gemstones from one orb. The rest of the orbs all contained 20 more tokens.
Some of the seasonal skins are pretty good, but honestly, many of the legacy skins are legacy because they were removed from the store due to being too old and shitty to be worth selling. These things are mostly only good for collectors.
That, and the fact that the 2 gemstones I got is twice as many as the number of gemstones I have gotten from an entire year of hextech chests.
Daddy Braum1 votesAt least you didn't get assassin master yi

Epicanian1 votesI got butcher urgot and nothing else... stop complaining
Aeszarck1 votesI got something that I forget (used it in a reroll), SKT T1 Azir (don't play Azir but it's a nice Skin), and INFILTRATOR IRELIAAAAAA-
I'm an avid Irelia player and that makes me so happy because ever since the globalization of splash arts happened I have always wanted the Skin. The World splash art made me not want to buy the Skin, but when we got the Chinese splash for the Skin I really wanted it because Irelia looks so good in the Chinese splash. I couldn't buy the Skin because it was Legacy, so I have been waiting for more than a year to get this Skin. I would have bought it if it had appeared in My Shop, but I got Aviator Irelia instead (for a great price too, but I turned it down because even though I'm an Irelia player I don't need all her Skins) and I was really bummed about that. For this event I wasn't even thinking about getting Infiltrator Irelia, I just knew that Orbs of Order were a pretty good deal. So I bought a few and on my second one I opened it and I got the Skin I have been yearning for for the past year, along with 20 Order Tokens! It was so wonderful and I still can't believe my luck. The events that lead up to me getting Infiltrator Irelia were pretty nice too.
Anyways, I realize that most people aren't as lucky as me and will be getting Skins for Champions they don't play or want to play. I think that the way Riot advertised the Orbs' bonus rewards as "random amount of Order Tokens, two Gemstones, or Hextech Annie" was somewhat misleading because they didn't really say how vastly more common Order Tokens were compared to the other two rewards, and how much rarer Hextech Annie was compared to two Gemstones. Orbs of Order and Chaos were definitely ways to make Riot money, but I don't think they're a money scam, because at the end of the day the rewards they give are all right for the price.
