Allow Us to Purchase Keys With IP

I mean chests are supposed to represent skill, or be an alternative to self mystery gifting, but as I see it, keys can be extremely hard to get. Allowing us to buy keys with enough IP would basically have the same effect as the "play enough games and win and get a key fragment". The only difference is that we don't have to rely on riot handing out keys.

The whole point of hextech crafting is to reward playing the game anyways, so why not just couple it with also being able to buy keys with IP?

they would never do this because RP sales would drop off significantly.

believe it or not, the game is actually starting to haemorrhage money in some regions from its unsustainable esports model and crazy operational costs.

How would they make money of it then? You really think they added crafting because they are good people? They added it for profit like every game that has similar system with keys.

I'm happy enough to get anything free from the hextech crafting. What you're asking is literally for Riot to throw away money when you can already get so much free stuff already. I've gotten already like 10 FREE skins since it came out... The restriction on the keys is set in place to encourage RP sales.

Riot's crate system is better than 99% of other games where keys are unobtainable without real money(Cough cough valve, cough cough BFH)

Be grateful

This a must on every level I think how the system works is that each month after every game their is a 25% chance to get a fragment, then their is a 20% chance, then so forth and so forth, I think it caps at a .01% chance for a key fragment each game that resets every month They made it so you could buy blue essense with IP so you could ACTUALLY get masteries lvl 6 and 7 buying Keys with IP (perhaps 2600 IP, or 3400 IP would be reasonable)

LOL no. All games that give you "free" chests require you to earn the key or buy the key. So league should be no different. You already got the chest for free you're not gonna open it for free. You have to work for that part.

Riot needs money, chests are an appeal to humanity's impatience. We get free things, but we can't wait to earn them. So we buy riots keys, helping them, but they are helping us as well.

I have around 50+ dollars worth of free skins, I'm not going to complain just because I have ten unopened chests.
