A Suggested Change to Hextech Crafting's Reroll System

Lord Dusteon··4 votes·910 views

Currently any skin worth 975 RP + seems almost a waste to reroll, as the essence cost to reroll 3 decent skins is so high and the chance of a decent skin is so meh that rerolling high tier skins is almost always a trap.

A small suggestion to fix this it to have rerolling multiple skins worth X amount of essence lock out the lowest tier (or 2nd lowest, etc.) from showing up in the result. For example, rerolling enough essence to entirely create a 1350 skin would lock out 520 RP skins, enough for a 1820 would lock out 750 RP, and enough for a 3250 RP skin would lock out 975 RP skins. Something to give some incentive to reroll rarer skin shards you dislike without the chance of, say, rerolling 2 1820 RP skins and a 975 RP skin and getting a 520 RP skin for one of the champions the 1820 RP skin was for.

Just something to provide some incentive to reroll higher tier skin shards instead of always turning them into essence.

lol heres an idea just be grateful its a free skin regardless from seriously just playing the game. you kind of sound like an ungrateful little twat. free is free regardless if the reroll gives you shit or not.

Plenty of people buy boxes you know. I have spent $500 on them and i get lots of 1820+ skins i dont want and when i want to reroll there is no point in it when the essence you get is enough to get a another skin

I just disenchant the 975's that I don't want. So I always end with 4k Orange Essence or something and then I just unlock the Epics and Legendaries that I want.

rerolling gives you a free skin, without spending essence. Why exactly can't you just be happy you are getting a skin for free? the risk or rerolling is it is a random skin you do NOT own. riot has already stated if you want a specfici skin then the best way to get it is buy it. Be greatful these are free if you are speaking of the ones from free boxes, and if not just buy the skin outright and not tons of chests.

Because currently a large amount of the skins in the game are somewhat low quality 520 - 750 RP skins? And that means rerolling any skin above 975 RP gives a VERY high chance to get a skin not even worth the disenchant essence a player could have gotten. Yes, I'm happy the system is free but it could be improved.

the risk or rerolling is it is a random skin you do NOT own.

Which is still there with my suggested change. It would just mean if multiple high quality skins were entered there was also a higher chance of a decent skin instead of the odds still being for a 520 or 750 RP skin.

riot has already stated if you want a specfici skin then the best way to get it is buy it.

...Yes? My suggestion does not change this at all.

Be greatful these are free if you are speaking of the ones from free boxes, and if not just buy the skin outright and not tons of chests.

Yes, it's free. But it could also be improved, which is what my suggestion is for. Something being free does not mean we should never think of ways it could be better.

I support this suggestion :)

For all the people saying "it's free, why do you complain", sure it's free. But if there is a possibility to re-roll, and no one ever uses it, either remove the possibility or improve it, and that's what this thread is suggesting, it's not just whining...
