About Orange Essence, It's a little low

I don't have any problems with the chest system really, it's just that when I got an Ultimate skin shard, (ya know, the most expensive one in the game) it sells for 650 but require 2950 to get meaning it would require approximately 5 Ultimate skin shards to get just one, meaning 6 in total

seeing it would be rather difficult to get 6 whole ultimate skin shards just to keep one, I would like to ask, why do skin shards sell for so little? chests arent really easier to get, just the keys for them with the honor system which only leaves the honor capsule factor I'm not sure how often it can be earned or how it is earned even

so I don't feel any sort of balance to excuse the fact Riot halved the amount of orange essence you get . - .

It seems like I only get champ shards in my chests... :/

I'm sure it came down to money, which I understand. I mean, the initial Orange Essence was pretty nuts, it felt like I got a skin every 3 weeks.

It definitely got gimped after they nerfed the exchange rates, but I can't say I blame them

Sir when you get a legendary skin shard or above now, it automatically enchants without any orange essence. Don't know what you're complaining about. Since the only skin shards that you can still get and enchant are around 1500 orange essence to enchant, making skin shards give a lot of orange essence would lose em a lot of money. Chests have always been easy to get if you play well or queue with people and keys are easy to get if you're friendly. Seems fair to me.

You can get 1 chest for each champion in the game each season by playing the champion in a match and having anyone on your team recieve an s- or higher rank. Thats 130+ chests a season if you want them that bad.
