Still kinda dumb though. I get we can't have personal shops, but this hextech whatever is just a cash grab. And I mean... obviously they need money. But that's different. The shops? They got money from that. Releasing quality skins? They're paid for that. Honest pay for honest work. This is just so... gross. You have to spend anywhere from 1,000 RP minimum to 3,000 RP on average just to unlock a random skin. They're hiding the stats behind fancy "relics" to make it seem cheaper. In reality, to even have the smallest chance at participating in this event, you have to throw down for 3 chests. That's assuming perfect RNG, it's more likely you get one relic and two other relics, etc.
Like, people shouldn't complain about things they don't HAVE to pay for. But at the same time, as players of the game, we have a right to call them a dumbass for doing something stupid lol. That way they learn. They'll make better stuff, we'll spend money, etc. Everybody is happy.
"This can't work cuz the new client" has been really agonizing to hear, though. Like I hear that so often. If the new client prevents us from having all this stuff, why did they release it when it's so far from being done? Seems counterproductive.
