Trading System

I think Riot should implement a trading system in LOL, we have gifting systems in the game so why not the ability to trade something you have bought or received from hextech crafting. The only negative that could come from this is “bad trades” where someone could say a skin they trade for your skin is worth more than it actually is (rarity wise) but that could be fixed with a simple google search before you make the trade. I believe a trading system would be great for the community too because you could get into a game with someone and have a discussion saying “I got (insert skin here) shard from a chest but I don’t play that character does anyone happen to have (insert desired skin shard here). And if someone does have that skin then everyone wins in this situation. Honestly I do not think any negatives can come from this idea, and it would probably make the players happier all together if this were to be put into the game.

it would create a third party market that Riot would get no profit from.. if you play any TCGs (MTG, yugioh, pokemon) then i'll put it this way. Wizards makes MTG cards, they sell them at fixed values, then buyers open the packs and pull cards that are deemed "more valuable" and sell them for MUCH more than the packs are worth. (I.E. Jace, the mindsculpter, which is anywhere from $80-$500) wizards doesnt see any of that excess profit.. you buy a $4 pack, and pull an $80 card and sell it for $60, wizards hasnt seen any of that extra $56.. well the same thing would happen in a third party system with skins and such.. people would pay $X for chest, then open them, get skins, and go to third party websites and conduct profitable trades via Paypal, and trade over a worthless common garbage skin along with $$$ via paypal, for a more valuable skin.

One thing that struck me in reading this (Although I initially liked for this to be implemented) is the abuse in tournaments for RP gains or Clash gains or funnelling all the rewards from a quest that gives hextech keys/chests into one single main account. Extremely prone to abuse.

The only negative that could come from this is

....hordes of bots in games generating hextech-loot to scam money out of gullible idiots.
