What is your experience with the initial level 5 premium chests?

Before opening these chests, I heard from a friend that one of the two chests gives a guaranteed skin for a champion you own. So I waited until I bought Vel'Koz, the champion I wanted to main, then opened the chests. Though the supposed "skin of a champion you own" was just an Abysall Nautilus skin. I posted a thread on the bug section, and the mod there at first was confused what I was talking about, then understood, told me that chest was supposed to give me the skin of an owned champion, and told me to contact Riot support. So I did, then after a lengthy back and forth with them, they eventually told me I was misinformed. Though I was disappointed and a little confused, considering the league players I know and the initial moderator on my thread both backed up my assumption that it gave you an owned champion. Oh well, I moved on. Until now. Another friend of mine, newer to League than me, just got Darius, and when he opened his level 5 premium chests, what did he get? Bio-forge Darius. I seriously want to know, has anybody else gotten the skin of an owned champion in one of their level 5 premiums? Has anybody not? I'd really like to know, are the people I know really that lucky that they end up with a skin for the champion they own? Or has something broken in my game? Why would the person I contacted on my support ticket say I was misinformed? Did he not understand what I was talking about? I don't know. Any responses would be appreciated.

TL;DR:

I didn't get a skin of an owned champion in my level 5 premium chests, my friends did, a mod on these forums said I should, but the person I contacted through Riot support disagrees. For those of you who've owned a champion at the time of opening those chests, did any of you get a skin for that champ? Did any of you not?

Thanks for reading.

I got a skin for a champ that I owned. I think it was Sultan Tryndamere or something similar. Granted when the promotion for the hextech crafting system was first introduced it came with no champion chest, and I was level 30 already, so my results may have been skewed. Either way this is extremely unlucky and you should be reimbursed.

yeah i'm pretty sure it's due to the fact that you got the chest and then bought vel koz, you see the chest already has the skin inside it, so if you own no champions you get a random skin, if you own champions but don't play them, u get a random skin, you'd have to buy the champion pre lvl 5 and have it be the only champion you play basically and you're garen teed a skin
