More math to show EXACTLY how bad paid Hextech chests are.
Let's see. Buy two PROJECT capsules with three skins in each, likely all 975 RP skins, for 1400 RP.
Disenchant four of the shards so you can craft the fifth.
So you've paid 1400 RP for a random 975 RP skin, 20% of another skin (200 RP), and some indeterminate orange essence.
Or you can just cut out the middleman, save 425 RP, and buy the skin you want instead.
Now, Riot, do you see EXACTLY how bad lootboxes have become with the orange essence nerf?
