All i have to say is, nobody is forcing ANYONE to buy these packs, idk why people constantly complain about dumb shit like that, I'm sure in a perfect little world that everything could be free, and you could get whatever you want when you want it for free, but that's not how the world works. If you want to spend money on these things, do it, don't bitch about it afterwards if u didn't get anything, u took the gamble, it's on you, not Riot. Riot isn't forcing anyone to buy these.
It's like the hextech crafting thing, you actually get FREE SHIT, iv'e got multiple super expensive ass skins from it for FREE, all it took was patience on getting keys and chests, literally at no cost to me , i got Anivia's super awesome skin, Sona's super awesome skin, Jayces, Cho's, etc all for FREE. I didn't buy keys, or chests, i simply played the game. But yet people still complain about it saying "it forces you to buy stuff" NO IT DOES NOT, is it holding a gun to your head? No.. Then it's not forcing you now is it xD.
People will bitch just to bitch, especially in this game and community. I understand people are mad that they wanted "Sales" instead of this lunar crafting crap, but at the same time, How can you be mad at not spending money on something, when you were going to spend money on "sales" ? IF anything, it encourages you to NOT buy this stuff, and to wait for the ACTUAL sales to come forth, where you will spend your money, and then bitch saying the sales weren't sale-sy enough.
