I wish My Shop would take my purchases into account

It's like, yeah, I know I play Jhin and Zoe a lot, but I'm not going to replace Dark Star Jhin and SG Zoe for High Noon and Cyberpop. There's a reason I bought the skins I already bought, and I'm not looking to replace them.

It can see the champions I play, why can't it see the skins I play with and just... not give me a discount on a skin that's a downgrade? I'm not a collector. I'm not trying to own everything. I only really want one skin per champion I enjoy.

And I've been spamming Kai'Sa in ranked without a skin for her yet, and it failed to give me a discount on one of hers. I'm not too torn up about that, since I probably won't buy a Kai'Sa skin until they make one that's something more than a hot girl, but still, it shows the algorithm could use some touching up.

What if it was the other way around. What if you already had a skin for say sylas and you wanted another one of his skins? OH WAIT HE ONLY HAS ONE SKIN WTF RIOT

The system does learn from previous My Shop instances. For example, it gave me discounts on SG or PJ Ez almost every time for a little while and finally stopped even though I still play him a ton.

Just a theory if you've purchased skins for a champion from My Shop before, they may try to give you more since you appear interested in the skin.
