Add Trading feature to Hextech Crafting?

So, here is my idea. With the Hextech crafting system it helps players get skins for free as long as they just put in the time for them. This alone was an amazing idea on riot's part. Its been a little over a year since the system was put into place. However, one feature I would REALLY love to see is if they added the ability to implement trading to the system. Here me out, sometimes myself or a friend get a really lucky pull on the system but its for a skin they already own. For example, lets say I get lucky and get the Elementalist Lux skin from the Hextech crafting. But I already own the skin. That skin shard means nothing to me so its just left to be re rolled. BUT, if trading was implemented, I could go to my friend and say "Here you go" and they can now unlock it. Another thing, this doesn't essentially break the system either. Because even if I were to give them the skin shard for Elementalist Lux, they would still need to get the orange essence to unlock the skin. So its not like it would just become a trade fiasco where everyone has the best skins. People would still have to earn chests or buy them to get enough orange essence to get the skins. Anyways, thats just my opinion. What do you guys think? [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

As a former Tristana and Ezreal main, well... let's just say it hurt when my friends got Pulsefire Ezreal, Arcade Ezreal, and Bewitching Tristana... all of which champions they hardly ever play.

Wouldn't it be really easy to create a new market around those skins, essentially making the shop obsolete?

Not really. It would just come down to friends. Its not a global market for skins.

  1. You cant get the skins for nothing. You have to at least buy/earn a couple of crates to get essence
  2. You would only be able to trade with your friends.
  3. Many people still just buy the skins from the shop instead of buying crates

1.) That doesn't really hurt me if I already have the shard I want to unlock 2.) You can literally become friends with anyone you want 3.) But if I can reliably get specific skins by making friends with someone and then trading skins that would not be the case anymore
