Current crafting makes me not want the 'best' rewards

I was thinking about the current loot system, and it occurred to me that the system actual makes it so that getting some of the best skins in the game is a disappointment. I got elementalist lux a while back, before the changes, and was thrilled. But now it's basically impossible to actually unlock them, and you don't want to break them down because the way BE scaling works bigger skins are worth proportionally less and it would be wasting this magnificent skin shard you have. So it just sits in your inventory, useless for anything but a reminder of a shiny thing you'll never have. I would much rather get a mid tier shard, that I can actually use or conceivably unlock.

TL;DR Nice incentivizing riot.

So this game is a Moba... and if it tries to be anything else but a Moba, well don't let yourself be fooled. No quest incentive system or wacky new loot crate system will ever really work out on this game. LoL isn't about doing quests or skin hunting and expecting riot to be able to implement that into a Moba without it just being terrible is asking for too much. Riots balance team can barely keep there stuff together, so what makes you think a fun loot system or cool Questing distraction is actually something the company will actually invest large amounts of time in? "Free" skins hurt their bottom line and so they pretty much took all of them away... or made it damn near impossible to get "free" skins anymore. Riot is a company and they want our money... if you want a skin well its back to the old days where you shell out real money for them, we got spoiled for a time and Riot clapped down on that shit! At the end of the day this is only a Moba.. if you want quests go play Skyrim or WoW you want exciting loot go play Diablo 3 or OverWatch! You want non stop bullshit/sadness followed up by toxic teammates who refuse to assume any responsibility for their botched tower dive attempt when they went 1v3 and got exhausted under the tower but some how it's not their fault? Well then LoL is the game for you good sir! It's not all bad though, about 1 out of every 5 games will be a memorable/enjoyable experience... the other 4 games will be some of the worst times in your video gaming life, and you will constantly question... why am I wasting my time on this game again?

The hextec system wasn't made to "incentivize" anything. It was just to allow players to slowly get cosmetic stuff they didn't have access to back when all skins were rp only.
