And I got a Kayle and Sivir shard, both acclaimed by the Pawn Stars scam experts to be 90 BE each! Wowee! I already have 7 Kayle and I don't play Sivir! Sick 180 essence for the ultra rare capsules that surface once every 5 to 10 years!

Yeah. Because Risotto games must add RNG into literally every reward system they make. It's like obssesion now. Some people get reward for Honor some not. Some people get rewarded for S grades some not. Some people get properly rewarded for Levels some not. I wonder what will be next.

The RNG is in place to encourage you to keep grinding because "maybe the next one will be good"
Also to buy boxes
In fact, the entirety of the 2018 metagame is built around abusing psychological quirks involving addiction to get people to buy boxes.

Let's be fair here it shouldn't require a behavioral economist to see it with how obvious Rito Game has been making it. Bu there are still white knights out there. unfortunately I still have many friends who play the game so I can't quite quit yet, but I have stopped buying RP years ago.

Uhm. Everyone gets rewarded for S, assuming they properly meet the prerequisites (For a crate: Owning the champion, having at least 1 crate ready to be earned, and not having already gotten the crate that season. For tokens: Having the champion at m5/m6, owning the champion, and playing in a valid mode for it (normals (Blind or draft) SR, or either ranked SR)). You don't always get a great reward, but you always get something.

Its funny you say that, becuase the game is starting to feel pay to win... You need blue essence ot buy champions without paying money for them, which you only get from loot boxes, earned when you level up, which MIGHT contian the champion or skin you want, but still requires blue essence to make usable, and blue essence is gotten by breaking down the shards you DO get... Is LoL becoming pay to win? is Rito becomign EA?

This isn't exclusive to Riot. Almost the entire gaming industry, or at least many of the bigger ones, have been in on this shitty bandwagon recently; because once you add a roulette to the reward systems while also providing real-money purchases of this RNG stuff, it very much simulates gambling (or at least to some noticeable extent) and it makes players especially younger or the more impulsive ones to be more likely to fall for dark side of gambling and/or its addiction. This thing has been so abused and it's been so bad this whole lootbox fiesta and everything that comes with it is literally now in the high court. I can't wait they finally end the damn thing, or at least seriously hack it and chop its limbs off.
Some RNG rewards? Damn, everyone likes a little surprises and some thrills; all good, man. But when you put every (or almost every) reward behind a fucking RNG (especially when the thing was previously not so but was changed to be one... I'm looking at you, IP-I'm sorry, BE drops)? NO!

mine too!!! but I have only received 2 honor capsules since the honor system changed :(
CelebrityOctopus7 votesYea I got one the other day and didn’t get much of anything out of it. It was the worst honor capsule I’ve gotten yet.
Also this Pawn Stars thing needs to stop. Pawn shops are never going to give you money equivalent to what the item is worth. You go to a pawn shop for quick cash and then they’re going to turn around and resell it for a profit so they’re going to have to low ball you otherwise it’s not worth it to them.

Everyone knows you only bring stolen stuff to pawn shops that way you make all the profit.
Cavesloth4 votesI wasn't even sure they still drop, I haven't gotten one in ages. Thanks for prepping me for the disappointment though. Especially stoked that they drop SOOOOO often, it makes honor 5 so worth since we also got the THE WORST COLOR WARD FOR IT! THANKS RIOT. Makes a fella want to go swear and use racial slurs to knock it down to 4 lol.

You don't always get 4-5 key fragments per capsule. It's based off of the fragment cap they have. The keys from the capsule get you close to the cap, but not all the way to leave some room for later.

what kind of capsules are you getting where you get 4-5 keys?
The best I've ever seen was 2 fragments with my worthless 450 champ shards. Most times I just get the worthless champ shards
SSShutTheDuckUp2 votesAs far as I understand they drop instead of key frags and contain the same amount of key frags you'd get anyways, so whatever it is there is supposed to be some kind of bonus. I do agree that the "bonus" feels underwhelming, given how rare these arrive. I've got like 3 or 4 (almost sure they are 3, but not entirely) I have no right to complain, as I got Grey WW in the last one, but yeah, the ones before that were pretty disappointing. At least before we could disenchant 3 shards into a random champion so even getting kayle and nunu wasn't that bad, but now it's meh. I think the prizes should be higher not because "give us more stuff RITO", but rather because that it is a reward for a positive play and if it is feels underwhelming it barely helps to reduce toxicity.

PayaThePapaya1 votesI also got medieval twitch from my first capsule which is nice.
Also tbh, I'd rather get champ shards than skins. I have absolutely no champs :c
RainbowIcee1 votesCapsules are lootboxes. Don't depend on them giving you anything good. If you ever get RP just buy the skins regularly.
Skaiserus1 votesIm a bit upset. I posted this exact thing before, and it barely got attention.
The Lord Cookie1 votesThey're for key fragments, not for champion shards.
You get more key fragments than a dishonorable player would. This is your reward. Blue Essence gains are garbage, and a lootbox progression system is trash, but this isn't part of that specifically.
Mr Dalloway1 votesHit level 40 earlier and was all excited because I got some super duper special capsule(forget what it was called). Inside were 3 random champion shards (Yay! So fun getting champion shards when you already own all champs!) and some weird looking emote.
The weird looking emote doesn't even work. Get an error message when I tried setting it up.
Riot really failed with this new leveling system. Blizzard made theirs kind of fun. You get all sorts of random things. Mostly nonsense but it is fun at least. This is not at all fun. And I assume that even if I didn't own all the champs it wouldn't be fun because I would just have to dust the new expensive champ shards to be able to afford the old cheap ones.
