It's been nearly a month since I've gotten a single key shard

I play tons of games and get don't get any keys shards. I've played ranked draft, normal draft, and ARAM all in the past month. None of them give out any shards, and it seems to me like hextech crafting only gave out key shards when it first came out.

The chances to get a key shard become less likely each time you get one. It is a brake to prevent people who play a lot from getting many more keys than a casual player. Your chances are reset once a month. So at that time you will get keys much more often but with less chance after each key fragment.

I thought the chances went down each day. Not each time you got a key. (As a guess it's like 50%, 35%, 25%, 16.5% for the first 4 days?)

No I am pretty sure the Reds said it was based on each time you got a key. The whole reason they did this was so people who played less were rewarded at about the same rate as someone who played more often. If it was based on the day then people would just spam games those first 4 days.

For those that play often it amounts to those first 4 days because after a reset you will get most of your key fragments right after a reset.

BTW I think you only get a bonus to your chance % if you are grouped. It was another one of those thing Riot put in to force people to play in premades.

they do tend to get harder the more you get. not sure if this is normal though, you can try sending in a support ticket asking.
