Capsules Are My Savior

CytheGuy··3 votes·401 views

At the time of writing this I am currently one of the slowly growing number of Honor 3 players. I opened my first capsule today and got 5 key fragments. I now have an all-time low of 7 chests sitting in my hextech crafting inventory.

I can now look forward to maybe one day having 0 chests without having to spend money on keys!

You get 4 chests per month. Riot also said you get enough keys to open them per month and more depending on how much you play. I have never had a problem with keys, ever. I have patience and a full wallet because of it. Play more, win more, get plenty of keys, or pay real money for virtual shit. More power to you. I never will buy a key or a chest because you don't have to.

I play about 14 hours a day and I have a 60% winrate in norms :thinking:

You can argue till your blue in the face and anyone can lie on the internet. You are not winning enough. You get enough key frags (12) to open your chests per month (cycle) so stop with the conspiracy theories. Have a nice day.

Quite the opposite problem, actually. I'm sitting on 13 completed keys, no chests

The plight of the specialists.

And Riot's solution with Honor Capsules? Even. More. Keys.

Seriously, I wish they'd do some adaptive system that checks what you're short on (or typically short on) and gave you that from Capsules instead of more keys I won't use for another year.

ModWulf Helhammer1 votes

I mean, the system isn't really designed to cater to specialists. Why would Riot make it easier to for a person to get free stuff when they don't use more of what's already available?

I'm personally fine with it. I've got more than enough skins (on phone right so I can't send pictures of skins)

(Also who downvoted? I wasn't complaining)

I up voted you, I don't know why people are down voting people who have the opposite problem they have.

Riot loses nothing more by giving specialists more chests from Honor Capsules than they lose from giving keys to generalists. If anything, they potentially gain from doing so. If I unlocked a really cool skin for a champion I don't play, I'd play that champion for a bit to use the skin. That's a chance for me to get to know and like that champion, and thus buy more skins for them.

There's a way to fix that... stop living on ONE champion.

DrCyanide1 votes

There's a way to fix being short on keys too... play MORE games.

I've earned 14 chests this season. It's not like I play just one champion, more like I don't play 137 champions.

ElfOfTheDesert2 votes

Never said I needed any.

But yet you are complaining about not getting chests so.

DrCyanide1 votes

No, I'm complaining about an over abundance of Keys and not being at a 1 to 1 ratio, just like the OP.

While Riot catered to people having a shortage of one (what the OP is happy about) they ignored those having a shortage of the other.

ElfOfTheDesert2 votes

1 to 1 ratio,

lel. it shouldn't be,

You're basically just crying that you can't get free content. Riot is a business.

DrCyanide1 votes

The "crying you can't get free content" and "Riot is a business" apply just as equally to people who complained about not getting enough key fragments. What's your business response for why Riot is giving out more key fragments?

As it stands Hextech Crafting is basically dead to me, becoming relevant for events like the Light and Dark, but that's it. I'm not "crying" about it, merely pointing out a flaw with it.

Oh wait it's the League community.
