I think we should be able to earn keys on free week champions

I can understand not giving chests, but I think you should be able to get keys while playing free week champs, since it's just based on winning.

I think we should be able to earn keys in general lol

Is specially soul crushing in aram games where you get a champion that might be fun but you don't own so zero chance of getting a key

Tbh we should be able to get chests and overall champion mastery as well. I mean why isn't that even a thing?

It seriously discourages to try new champions.

It's supposed to be a bug, that you can't receive hextech stuff unless you own the champion. Just Riot probably saw 0 QQ hence didn't bother to fix it...

I can understand not giving chests,

You can? Can you please explain it to me then?

Made same post on EU boards,it got downvoted. We should earn key fragments on non owned champions, because players with small champion pool are forced to play only with their owned champions, and they simply can't explore champions. They don't know what abilities they have, how to play against them and so on. Such system is unwelcoming to new players. I am personally tired of skipping free champions because i want to get that rare and legendary 3rd key fragment.

We still get the experience of playing a free Champion. That's a lot better than nothing.

We still get IP for winning, which can go towards upping our Champion pool, which can go towards upping our chance of getting Mastery.

Yeah it's annoying getting a free champion and "losing" some reward, but I don't feel like it's a punishment for not having the champion....

I don't know.

They said its a bug since Hextech crafting release. I say its just intended, so u're discouraged to play free week champs. So u have to buy as many champs as u can

Oh god the only system messier than DQ is their fkn crafting. What a mess.

I agree with your logic, but I don't think riot will imllement that. They want keys to be hard and frustrating to get and force you to buy them

Hell they'll probably break a billion in revenue this year thanks to the crafting system

This is all I want. I used to love free week champions, but I never play them now because I want to get keys and chests.

TheProAndrew8/13/2016, 7:32:18 PM1 votes

i remember playing ONE FOR ALL last week and since all champs are available in that mode i literally lost 4 keys fragments because "you don't own the champ required to earn chest or key frag".................................................

I hate that on my smurf i have to buy and buy champs instead of runes just so i can get chests, like really riot? Also I can't get keys for playing champs I dont own.. sigh.
