Hex tech Crafting Shop After-Thoughts

Personally, I am happy that Riot added a cool new feature like hex tech crafting shop into the game. However, in my opinion, it needs to be refined. As for myself, I would not use hex tech as much due to three reasons:

I can buy the skin I truly like rather than leaving it to the chances of the hex tech box
I already own a number of skins
the skin available for loot is not appealing enough!!! I'd totally buy a number of hex tech boxes and keys more if I have a good chance of unlocking rare skins like champion riven, UFO Corki, etc. EVEN if the chances are slight!!! And perhaps it would make more people to play more games to earn boxes and keys as well.

What about you? What do you think?

You have figured out riots money grab. They have decided to make everything in pieces and also only be able to earn keys in ranked, even thought at first they said any matchmaking but now everyone starting to figure out ARAM is not included 42 WINS later no keys i finally read the boards i was mad. How nobody knows whats going on is beyond me. I have been playing for years and this is insane what is going on, all i can say is the Moba community is getting huge with all the new Moba's coming out things are changing watch. Every company does this they get huge then peak and slowly declines for a bit. They are grabbing money!

The system is absolutely broken for people who own all champions.

60% of the rewards are just trash to me. If the new champ gets released and my "permanent champ" doesn't re roll into him im gonna be rofl raging. The Blue essence (I know you're working on it!) was a big oversight in this regard as well.

I would like to see atleast a Blue -> Orange and vice versa conversion. (Maybe 50-75% loss on transfer?)

Before anyone says "It's new and experimental stop bitching;" this is a system that I put $30 in to have fun with, so they owe their paying customers something.

Yup i own all champs and most skins but still i don't have them all or ward skins or wards. So where is my keys for that stuff this is just a money grab and a new player grab. They are giving a skin away to new players but what did they do for the vets? Nothing they say now they are looking into implementing something for people that own a lot of or all of the stuff. But you think that would be firs priority because a company should also reward the vets as well as newcomers that is how i know this was a money grab. All the new MOBA'S get ready for a rough year for rito.

I've bought all the current available champions and skins to date, I even own hextech Annie. After that hextech crafting is only good for collecting Icons and wards. Neither of which are worth it as you still get champ and skins shards that aren't really worth anything till the next bunch of skins come out.

Hextech crafting, while good in theory, is really either a huge pool of luck or a shallow puddle.
