Stop the skinnerbox inspired whale milking

So I saw the lunar crafting nonsense and Riot's use of real money for RNG crafting items is just unacceptable. Stop this anti-consumer skinner's box BS.

So for 250 RP, you get a skin shard and a relic. No guarantee the skin shard is any good and this feels like a way to fuel the essence people need to make a skin shard they do want. If they get it.

Now it takes 3-5 relics of the same kind to craft the unlock that you want. So that's 750-1350 minimum. However there's no guarantee you get the same 3-5 you need for the unlock. This system also pretty much forces people to buy things in groups of or buy an extra 1 or two items if you do get the unlock you want in your first group of buys just so you get the chest. Also, let's be honest, those epic skin shards probably have a 1-10 or less chance of showing up. So unless you are lucky, seeing one is basically junk. If you are impulsive and want to get 3 of a kind for your "epic" skin shard (just a shard mind you), riot will be unconscionably taking advantage of you.

Why are you forcing people to go through all these extra hoops when it is easier to get a mystery skin?

I get you guys need money, but seeing y'all do things like this kind of makes me a little turned off for supporting you guys in the future. This feels like a sleazy way to milk the whales and it just isn't right.
