Key fragments and chests don't drop anymore?

ToolooT·Apr 6, 2016·2 votes·2,500 views

I've had really good games with Vel'Koz and even got a few S+ playing him support (one S+ was on the losing team while no one else even got a S- in both teams). Now I know playing the same champ over and over again explains why I'm not getting chests but key fragments?! I'm not complaining I love free stuff (I also understand the marketing and the money behind this) but players getting S+ on the losing team and not getting a single key fragment sucks. I'm not asking for us to easily get fragments but considering that you need 3 to get a single key and that chest drops are pretty rare, I think we should be rewarded when we have a great performance.

It's not every day you get S+ playing support on the losing team. It's not a bragging thread BTW I can't really brag I'm only a silverino but I'm using my performance as an example. What do you guys think?

Its simple, keys are so fucking rare cuz Rito want you to buy them in the store.

Working like they are suppose to. They had a high drop rate to get people pumped then dropped to rare occurrences like they should. It's just a thing to give people free skins/champs eventually for hours/days of play. It should be a very low drop chance for key fragments.

Sure.. but if a chest takes 6 days to generate.. shouldn't keys be at least rare enough to accumulate 3 fragments over a week? ._.

No no no. You maybe should be able to produce a full key in a month. I would say maybe even 1 key frag a month. The drop rate has to be extremely low

Not sure if you're serious or not. They are already making way more money with hextech crafting than they're losing on potential full price skin buys.

I'm starting to think you're a greedy Rito secret agent.

You all are just cheap asses. Riot basically copied CS go and improved on the case key system by giving a possibility of free skins. Riot is rich becuase it sells skins. CS go at least you have to buy the game. Here it's free to play.

Drop rate is perfect where it is.

I bought a bunch of skins AND chests/keys with RPs. I don't think I qualify as a cheap ass. Asking for more key fragments is logical (even more when it's for rewarding great performances) . As I said they are already making big bucks with hextech crafting. Rewarding people for playing great might actually make certain players take the game more seriously.

Oh and just to be sure, were talking about KEY FRAGMENTS as in you need THREE of em to make a single key which might not open any chest in a month or so because they barely drop. People would still buy chests with RPs.

Which is their choice. It's basically just an add on to reward players for doing what they are going to do anyways.

I was playing league before and now I get free stuff every year for doing. Cool with me.

As per my knowledge gather though a billion or so red posts, th key fragment drop rate is tuned to be increasingly rare as you acquire more. However, the drop rate also rises along with the chest refresh. That means that infrequent players will have a reasonable drop rate and frequent players will have a lower one, but both will acquire a similar amount.
