Issues with my loot system?

So everytime I look at a devblog or something of the nature and I hear something about loot, I get confused. With the new honor system, keys seemed to be what everyone was concerned about. Will I still get the same amount of key drops? For me, that was never an issue. As of the day that I'm posting this, I have 17 keys (not fragments, actual hextech keys) and 0 chests. I have never spent money to get keys, yet find myself with an abundance while I get next to no chests. As far as I'm aware, the only way to get chests is if you or your premade get an S rank. However, you can only get one chest per champ per season, and even that has a timer on it. I'm not the best player, so S ranks aren't too common, but why do I have so many keys? Even when I talk to my friends who play about the same as I do and are about the same skill level, they have chests with no keys. What's going on here? Any help is appreciated

Hopefully someone will respond but I doubt it.

I'm the same. I currently have 26 keys and 16 fragments (so 31 keys) and my pool of 15-20 champs have all had their chest for S grade this season, so no doubt by the start of next season, my total keys will increase with nothing to open with them. You seem to now get key fragments with honor gained after each match as well as performance, so that could explain why we're getting so many, but Riot need to introduce a new system so you can trade keys for chests, as I've seen quite a few people saying they have the opposite issue (lots of chests but no keys) they both cost the same in RP so a straight 1 for 1 swap would make sense.

Same issue, I always have 5-10 extra keys and no chests. Currently I'm at 7 keys and no more chests available to get for 2 more days, I have gotten a chest for almost every champ I own anyway, and don't have much extra ip for more champs.
