I thought we already hated having a ludicrous amount of IP that we can't spend when we own all of the champions, it is even more infruriating to get champion shards from the loot because you can't use it at ALL in anyway shape or form because all it does is unlock champions, while at least IP can be used for an icon or two or runes, champion shards do nothing.

It is an awful experience to do well in a game, get an S rank on a champion you haven't earned it for the year, and then have one of your limited boxes be eaten up by completely useless filler. It is just as bad if you paid RP for the boxes, you end up spending your RP on something that yields zilch, nada, Anivia Eggs, that is just throwing the money down the toilet for zero content.

Edit: I know of the mastery system being put in place to use the shards, but I don't think that is a great idea either, buying a mastery is very tacky and still is useless, if we could convert blue shards into orange shards or something that would also be great, otherwise it's just a big money/freemium sink.

We should be getting Champion Masteries 6 and 7 which will combat the fact that people have unused Champion Shards!

On the way. Champ mastery levels 6 and 7 can be unlocked using some of your extra champion shards. They still seem largely worthless, but at least there will be a possible use for them.

It would be nice if 3 champion shards could reroll into other types of chest loot if all Champs are owned.

The L 6/7 mastery system is Riot's way of saying they are not addressing champion shards.

The champion shards are they to dilute the chances at skin shards. They understand people don't want them, but they don't want to double your access to free skins either.
