Chests, Keys, RP, and IP Madness
Rito, Rito, Rito. Though I love you for the champions, the designs, and all the stories - why do you have to be so difficult in terms of chests, keys, and IP/RP? On the chest front, I understood one would receive chests when one levels a champion up to Level 5 mastery or gets an S/S+/S- overall grade. It has just come to my attention that you can only receive a chest once per champion. I am not sure if that's true but that's what one of my friends told me and it seems to match up since I did not receive a chest when I got an S on Ahri and leveled up LB to 5. Why on earth would you do such a thing?!? Chests are to reward us for our hard work, aren't they? So why would you have it so we couldn't get a chest after getting a chest from an S- (or something) on a champ once, even though we then proceed to work harder and get S, S-, S+'s - which isn't easy - and get a champ to level 5, which literally only happens once per champion. Seeing as I got an S on Ahri without a chest and leveled up Leblanc (and Malzahar much earlier) without a chest, I have become extremely bitter about this since my hard work seemingly goes unnoticed and I feel robbed (though I realize this is a gift from you guys and I appreciate that) of something I worked hard for. I know I'm probably filibustering this and my point is lost through a whole bunch of angry fluff, but I want you guys to know that some of us cannot pay for the stuff in the store and we would like to totally cancel that liability of ours out by working hard to gain that stuff. However, you, Riot, restrict us to a certain amount where it comes to the point we feel that hard work isn't getting us anywhere and we might just be better off not working so hard -- which is extremely unhealthy to the kind of gameplay, teamwork, and community you guys are trying to create. In the end of this topic: you guys are getting in your own way to better the League of Legends experience and unintentionally producing negative effects on the community, just let us feel the joy of having our hard work pay off.
Now, onto keys. Don't worry, Riot! My main problem was the bitterness with chests so these next few topics will (hopefully) be shorter. My main issue with keys is they drop randomly. So, in theory, you could go 20, 100, 500 games without ever gaining a key. This also gets in the way of us trying to gain these skins, champs, gemstones, or whatever by hard work. It's honestly just realllllyyyy annoying. See my "chest" argument above for similar reasoning.
As for IP/RP, you obviously have gotten this complaint a million times: but, why do you make it so hard to build up significant IP to buy the newer champs, or in my case, try to build up enough to buy the most recent champ in case I like it and always feel like I cannot afford to get the older ones that I would like to have (Lulu, Fizz, Evelynn, etc.) in fear that I won't have enough to get the new champ. This may seem unreasonable, but I have my own ways of going about things and I'm sorta superstitious. Please do make it easier for us to get IP. For RP, my argument is weaker. My question about that is mostly as to why you cannot gain RP, you can only pay for it. Now I know you're a company and you need to make money in order to keep the quality-of-life, hire (really good) people, and do all the things you do - and I completely respect that and am overall fine with the RP system you have, so long as there's hextech crafting. For that, just go look above. I know my "argument" is weak overall but I am genuinely curious why?
Sorry about all of the ranting but I sincerely hope you will see and consider my arguments. If I came off vindictive, I'm sorry that's just the bitterness of all of this.
Thank you for listening Rito!
Hugs,
