impossible. you cannot have more keys than chests unless you literally play exclusively normals and exclusively one champ.

It's actually very possible dude.

Chests are much harder than key fragments. I also have 2 full keys and 2/3 of another key. Chests can only be gotten every so many days, and also require ranking which is complete BS in its algorithm (Curse you dealing over 10k more damage to champions than the next person on the team, going 17/10/26 on poro king and still no S (would be much higher but last hitting jerk kog maw got 18 kills with over 10k less dmg), or getting the most points on both teams in ascension without dying a single time and still no S). Anyway boxes are much harder. At least if you only play alone 24/7, because Riot doesn't give a fk about those who do.

In a week you can get at least 3 full keys, possibly more, yet even if you did earn S every game you couldn't get that many boxes due to CD.

I, er...If that's true, then I feel pretty good that I have a surplus of chests to open. But then again, I like playing a lot of champs, and I enjoy four of the five roles enough that I don't mind at all.

Having said that, I think you have it reversed. Chests are sure-fire earns (as in, 100% drop rate if you just meet any of the criteria) if you or anyone in your party reaches an S- or better, with a maximum of four per week, after which the counter goes up by one. Key fragment drops, though, are random and not fixed in drop rates. They go way down over time with each subsequent drop in the month's cycle, until it resets and drop rates are fresh. I usually play alone and got about 12 or so from drops during the first month, and the number of key fragments you've already earned seems to be way more tied to drop rates than how many people you have in your premade.

Maybe it has to do with earning the rank on the same champ? Once you S with them, it's done, you can't earn another with that champ. On the Champion Mastery page it has a border to show which ones you've already S'd, or just earned a chest with.

But on the summoner page in game where it lists your rank etc and has the four chest icons. After earning just one it says "next chest available in like seven days". So how do you earn four per week? That seems to indicate one per week maximum, four per month?

Well, you can't earn four per week unless you have all four slots open, let's say. Any chests that are golden are available to earn, but the ones greyed out aren't. You can earn a maximum of four, but you earn one extra a week. Does that make any sense? It feels a little hard to explain, but you earn one extra chance per week to earn a chest. So one of the slots will turn golden, but once you grab that, you can't get any others, because it's one extra slot per week. I know it's kind of confusing, I'm sorry I can't explain it better.

I have 4 chests and only 2 key fragments...

I've opened around 5 so far.

You get up to 4 chest a month, and only if you or a friend got an S- or above rank in match, and each champion can only give you one chest in a given month, up to four chests from four different champions.

I don't see you can have no chests unless you already got all four for this month and unlocked them.
