Instead of using essence to get permanent shard use goals instead.

It's so annoying to get a shard and not have enough essence to activate to permanent, so i was thinking use goals instead (etc: get 100 kills with this champ, get 200 assists, get 30 honors)

There could also be a time limit for how long you have to reach the goal (to encourage people to play the game more within that week or day) please add anything that you guys think should also be added to the hextech crafting or to my idea in the comments.

Thanks guys!

The essence (heh) of the idea is fine, but in reality it causes incentives to play for yourself and ignore your team. A fed player working toward a goal of X kills is just going to stall the game out and get as many kills as they possibly can before minions inevitably win the game for them. Not at all fun for the team on the losing side, though luckily they'd be able to surrender.

Or the fed player might even lose the game for their team with their single-minded focus on kills.

no please. ill assume your talking about skin shards since you can just buy champ shards. also i think you under estimate how much time it takes to get 100 kills with someone. like on average how many kills do you get per game. 7? 8? i mean sure thats only like 13 games but for some people who only play a couple games a week that would take forever. and would also limit them to 1 champ every time they play if they want to get that permanent. that would eb a much worse system for most of league. the current system just forces you to make a choice of what skins you actually want to unlock. i have 7 skin shard just sitting in my inventory in case i ever get one a really want since those 7 are for people i really couldnt care less if i had a skin for or not. most skins really dont cost that much to unlock you just cant expect to unlock every one you open.
