Honor needs to also grant chests..sitting at almost 30 keys zero chests

Gotta work on other champs. The loot system is a way to earn skins and champs without having to buy them. I don't see them making it easier to obtain chests.
We're talking about the Honor system, not the Loot system.
The Honor system is being modified to give extra key fragments per Capsule, something that only motivates the part of the community which has extra chests. The part of the community swimming in keys is basically being told "there's no rewards for you here", which contradicts the idea of having rewards to motivate good behavior.
I could not get another key fragment for a year and I would still be able to open every chest I get as soon as I get it, additional key fragments have zero appeal. A system smart enough to know what your missing (keys or chests) and give you that as a reward would suit everyone.
I thought that most people struggle with getting keys, since the keys don't drop so often. But, one of the loot system drops is related to skill, and now the other to honor. I like that balance.
Regardless, you should have (and I thought this is the current policy, per a recent Ask Riot) the opportunity to get enough keys for enough chests. Because asymmetry sucks.
The asymmetry does suck (which is why people with an over abundance of keys are asking for additional chests), but the existing system was already designed to give you as many keys as chests. They were capped at 4 chests per month, 12 key fragments per month. Keys will feel like they're coming more consistently with the changes, then the extra keys will push it over the top.
What you struggle with depends on how you play. I'm pretty sure no one I know struggles to get keys, they all struggle with chests because they've got a pool of ~5 champions they prefer to play and are good with.
Or you could just be happy with what you get and not demand a mile when they give you an inch for free.
You're missing the point.
Honor Rewards are designed to be incentives for all players. However, they're making a significant portion of the Rewards keys, something some players have in over abundance. I've got 12 full keys and have unlocked 14 chests this year. A player in my shoes could get demoted to Level 0 Honor and not notice any draw backs for over a year. That doesn't make sense for a system that's trying to provide incentives to the whole community.
Chests are earned by playing well or your teammates that you queued with playing well.
This is a free to play game. Why do you expect Riot to give everything away for free?
