Sending Hextech shards to friends?

Anyone else think that we should be able to send a friend some of our unwanted skin shards, ward skin shards, or champ shards. I've gotten two skin shards so far that I don't really want (Prehistoric Anivia & Matador Alistar) because I don't play those champions, but a friend of mine really wants the Prehistoric skin. I don't have enough skin shards to reroll, since you need 3, but I'd feel bad rerolling it due to the circumstances. They are good skins, just not for me. I also got the Triumphant Urf ward skin that I don't want and my friend got a Gentleman Poro ward that I do want. I have some ideas on how Riot can go about this issue.

  1. Allow people to trade shards and make them use their own essences to unlock the newly traded shard. Example: If I trade ward skin shards with my friend, he gets my Urf ward shard and I get his Poro ward shard. Then I have to use my essences to permanently unlock that ward skin. Make it so it has to be an equal trade like a skin shard for a skin shard, a champ shard for a champ shard, etc. And both parties have to agree to the trade. Example: "MarnieMer has sent you a trade request." appears in your notifications, you click it and brings you to a trading screen showing you that MarnieMer offered an Alistar skin shard to trade. You can either decline it or select which skin shard of yours you offer back and if you both like the trade, you both click accept. (Can't trade Hextech chests, keys/key shards, or essences)

  2. Give people the option to send a shard to a friend using essences. Example: If my Prehistoric skin shard cost 325 orange essences for me to keep it, then make it 650 orange essences for me to be able send it to friend. Or they could make it cost like 5 RP to send just the shard to a friend. That would help Riot's current RP crisis- those people like me who have 32 RP just sitting there taunting us with its inability to be spent. (Can't send chests, keys/key shards or essences)

Of course there would have to be limits on it so people can't cheat the system. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject?

This should be a thing to be honest..... They might have more restrictions on the first option though. Like trade a legacy for a legacy so it'll be harder to cheat the system and what not but this would be great nonetheless

Yes! I agree. I know there are flaws in it that in sure Riot can tune to their liking, but I would sure love to trade some of those skin shards that I'll never use. I feel bad for rerolling or disenchanting some skins that are actually pretty good but just aren't for me. League likes to say that they are for the "community" of players, so this trading system would be a good way for us to connect with the people on our friends list who we don't really chat or play games with. We could put in our status thing "Anyone want Arcade Hec?" for example, and then your friends can respond and set up the trade with skins that are equal like you said with a legacy for legacy, etc.
