I hate GP. His rework is amazing but I don't like the character itself and I really don't play melee champions so I don't like Gangplank. But am I very happy to get free skins? Yes. This system works just fine and I'm really happy riot implemented it. There was no obligation for them to do so but they did it anyway and it's very fun & rewarding. GJ rito
If you get Spooky Gangplank from a chest….. does that mean it was a dead man's chest?
apparently you're missing the fact that the only reason it was implemented along with the hextech annie gimmick is so you are motivated to spam buy chests and feed riot money.
Yes, the system is really cool! I was really lucky, already got Fnatic Gragas from 3rd chest on this main account and Scuba Gragas from the starting chest on another account. And even if there wouldn't be anything that fit you, it's always exciting to open those chests.
I got Eternum Nocture. I've never played Noc, maybe I will in the future. Still extremely happy that I got a legendary, 1820 RP skin FOR FREE!
I've gotten multiple Alistars from my chests. I guess some people are luckier than others....
After a really good Ashe game I got the last key fragment I needed and got amethyst Ashe from box <3 now only need heart seeker to have all of her skins.
Also tyler1 got perma banned again, but on his new account got gladiator Draven from his free box which I thought was hilarious
Holy Sh*t a post talking about Riot that's not negative. Time to buy a lottery ticket I guess.
Urrr bro spooky gangplank is one of the best skins bro i bet it's just 2spooky4U
The idea was nice. The implementation is flawed. They key:chest ratio is clearly off, and it's off in the wrong direction (more chests than keys) which is quite frustrating. It feels bad to be arbitrarily gated by RNG. It would have made far more sense for keys to drop more frequently than they currently do, so that you run out of chests first. That way, better players feel good about being able to "keep up" while players who earn more keys than chests have something to strive for (mastering new champions for an S). It makes the gating feature something that is somewhat under the player's control, and gives a sense of ownership.
Instead, we have people sitting on chests unable to open them because RNJesus exponentially slows your key drops over time. It's badly designed and feels like a cash grab to get people to buy keys. Basically it feels like Riot found a new way to sell mystery chests at a higher price and make you think you like it, and it feels awful.
Spooky Scary Gangplanks send shivers down your spine The Spooky Scary Gangplanks will blow barrels every time
So far I got 3 skins for champions I don't own, and 1 for a champion I regret every buying.
Re-rolled three and got... another skin for a champion I regret buying. At least it was Battlebunny Riven?
I just wonder, are the re-rolled skins only for champions you own or any skin? If the latter, gotta say it's pretty stupid.
spend 5 euro on chests, reroll shards, get blackbelt udyr(hobo udyr) even though I don't even own udyr, biggest waste ever.
Also, you will be disenchanting the majority of your skins to get enough dust to craft your favourites. This means that getting only ugly skin makes no difference. Low cost skins should be saved to exchange 3-for-1 while higher cost skins can be dusted to get the skins of your choice.
I play ARAM only most the time, and i dislike Sona with a passion - but i got DJ Sona from a free chest - thanks Rito :D

"there was no obligation for them to do so"
They did it so you have to spend $600 trying to get hextech annie. Yeah, you get free stuff potentially but they didn't make this out of the kindness of their hearts. If they introduced this and it didn't have any free skin element to it then people would feel pretty ripped off I think.
Thanks riot, I got a free headhunter rengar and scorched earth xerath, which made me play Xerath for once. And I had fun, really too. GJ on this one rito

I think Spooky Gangplank should have kept Old Gangplank's voice
