Riot should add a "Pity Timer" for Gemstones
For those who don't know: In games like Hearthstone and Overwatch, there's an invisible timer in their packs/loot boxes that slowly builds up. Every time you don't get a legendary, your pity timer increases. Eventually, the odds are so heavily stacked in your favor you're bound to get a legendary card/skin.
As of now, Gemstones are stupidly rare with no way to swing RNG in your favor sans buy more boxes. And frankly, it feels shitty opening your fourth box of the month and getting another champion shard. Please note some things:
- It won't suddenly make everyone get the hextech gems.
- Still favors paying customers (Because Riot loves their profit).
- Makes you feel a little better overall. "Well that was a crap box but hey at least my timer went up".
With the third crafted skin this patch, maybe it's about time Riot addressed the pitiful state of getting gemstones without forking over hundreds of dollars.
