Tl;dr: Have a 1 game "try out" for champs/skins unlocked.

Yes, I put a Tl;dr: at the top. I did this so people can see it from the main page. Now let's get started on this extremely long post.

Ok, so when you open up a chest, you can get many things. One of these things you can get is a champion shard. You have a couple of options here. One, you can "re-roll" it and two other champion shards and it will permanently grant you a random champ (that you don't own). You can also activate a "rental" and use the champion for 7 days (On a side note, does anyone know if you get an S rating with a rental champ if you get a chest, or is it still considered "not owned" like the free week champs). The last option is that you can use your blue stuff to permanently unlock it.

I got an Akali champion shard. The only thing is, I don't know if I even like Akali. So I don't want to use my blue stuff to unlock a champ that I might not like at all. I know that you could potentially use the "rental" for this purpose, but once you use the rental, it's gone forever and you'll be paying full price for it anyway. So it's not much of advantage there.

So I propose 2 options:

  1. Make a 4th option called "try out" where you can unlock the item for 1 game to see if you like it. I can see if Akali even seems like a fun champion, or I can see if an in-game skin looks as cool as the splash. This would be especially good for skins.

  2. Do nothing and leave it the same because you're rito and you do what you want.

P.S: This isn't a Hextech bitch thread. I don't care if you think keys are too hard to get. Be happy with the few free things you get. If it were so easy, nobody would use money to buy things anymore.

P.S.S: It wouldn't allow me to make a poll, so you'll just have to comment what ya think instead of cool polls.

Well, you could sit on it and wait for her to show up in the free rotation.

I do agree that this makes sense, for champion shards only.

For skins, you can look up videos. It's way different than the feel of actually playing a champion. And the 1 day try-out should obviously be a one-time use only. Also not permitted in ranked.

I know you could....but we have no idea when that could be. They don't really give us a schedule, and the "un-popular" champs are in the free week rotation A LOT less.

Yes, the 1 game try-out would be a one-time use only.
