I Really Don't Understand the Snowdown Shop...

I have to wonder how it generates the champions and skins because, for me, I'm not really interested in any of them, but so many others seem to actually have theirs tailored to them.

I admit that the excitement of opening them was there. So good job on that, Riot. But after opening them, it was kind of like having been given socks.

So, I feel compelled to break this down a bit to try to figure things out

The champions included in the shop:

Ekko - 40 Games - One skin owned Most recent, November 11th 27 TB 3 Draft 3 Ranked 2 One for All 2 ARAM 1 Coop vs AI 1 Blind Pick 1 Custom

Kennen - 43 Games - No skin owned Most recent, December 13th 25 Ranked 16 TB 1 One for All 1 Normal Draft

I can definitely understand Ekko and Kennen being included, they're two of my highest mastery champions, just below Zed.

Leona - 14 Games - One skin owned Most recent, November 25th 11 TB 2 ARAM 1 Normal Draft

She's ranked second on my in progress champions, so this kind of makes sense.

Ashe - 7 games - Two skins owned Most recent, October 9th. 5 TB 1 ARAM 1 Custom (the tutorial)

MasterYi - 9 games - One skin owned Most recent, October 30th. 3 ARAM 2 TB 1 Ranked 1 Blind Pick 1 Coop vs AI 1 Custom

These two, completely confound me. I guess Yi can be justified due to him being an assassin, but does AD Kennen somehow correspond to Ashe?

Now, here's take a look at my match history just for this month up until the day before, but not the day of, the Snowdown Shop opening:

Zed - 22 games 10 Poro King 7 TB 2 Blind Pick 1 Draft 1 Ranked 1 Custom

Syndra - 15 games 13 Poro King 2 TB

Fizz - 4 games 2 Poro King 1 TB 1 Coop vs AI

3 Games: Lulu TB, Ranked, Coop vs AI Lux Poro King, Blind Pick, ARAM Sona 3 TB TwistedFate 2 TB, 1 Aram

2 Games: Katarina Poro King, ARAM Nautilus 2 TB Janna 2 Ranked Kalista Custom, TB

1 Game: ARAM: Ryze Nasus Chogath Fiddlesticks Gangplank Kayle Poppy TB: Khazix Ezreal Teemo Tristana Yorick Amumu Kennen Akali Custom: LeeSin Ranked: Velkoz Poro King: Soraka

I'm not sure how they're generated either but judging by my recommended champs, it generated 4 out of 6 champs I had attained rank 5 with.

The first 4 in my shop were TahmKench Bard Soraka Trundle - all of which I have rank 5 on.

The last two were skins for the same champ - Jinx - and one had the best 70% discount on it. item 3070

I'm a support main who loathes playing ADC. I was forced ADC once this season and I did pick Jinx , other than that I haven't played ADC this entire season. Literally.

From what I've guessed, it's based of champions that you play a lot and champions you might be interested in. The latter is generated by looking at the champions you play a lot and the few odd ones you try out from time to time and filtering out the ones you most likely have an interest in.
