Trading items from Hextech crafting?

ChronosTemper·Mar 23, 2016·21 votes·14,243 views

So I personally don't know if anybody else thinks this idea would be some what of a nice add-on to league, the idea is that people of the league community could trade skin shards,champion shards,icons,etc, to each other. Now I understand that if this were to happen, Riot would not be making profit anymore but I really would like this idea of trading stuff to each other from Hextech crates and stuff like that. Specially after that my friend got HeadHunter Akali (a skin that I really want ) and I said 'I wish we could trade stuff to each other for skins" which is why I brought this thought to mind. Tell me your guys thought on this?

Riot could still easily make a profit with a trading system. They could implement a trade tax or a trade cap to prevent abuses of it. A "you can only trade if you've been friends for 2 weeks" restriction like they have with gifting... and more, I'm sure.

However, there are plenty of ways for you to acquire headhunter akali <3 .::Keep your fingers crossed for crafting. .::Play her often and well in ranked to encourage post-game gifting. .::Save up your money and by a LoL RP card at your local gas station to support Riot for making such an awesome, free-to-play game.

I think post-game gifting is only in the high ranks lol, nobody down in bronze/silver does that nice of stuff XD, But I do like the idea of a trade cap/tax

Yea i totally agree, they should add a trading system where you can trade what you unlock from a chest or bought. for example, i unlocked a really rare skin from a HT chest (Udyr Skin) and it's like worth 3000+ RP. and the thing is, i never even played Udyr or will play him. And then i thought only if i could trade this for my dream skin and dream ward. But, sadly you can only "Gift" which is something a lot of people can't do since you have to pay real money and you can't like sell your skins for RP.

I think this could be abused by people farming chest. I don't think Riot would ever allow something like this.

instead of taxes on trading they could create trading coins or tickets that could be bought with rp or gaind throu events. Thes coins or tickest would be one time use only plus cost of traded items should be almost same size . But with this there should be active trade market on theyr webpage or implemented in lol louncher. Duno just an idea.

How about a trade for trade? You can only trade when both parties have listed something and both parties agree. Also, trading only between friends and you must be friends for a month or something, and an item only become tradable after 2 weeks.

I know the feeling, my friend got 2 DJ Sona shards, and I am the one between us that plays Sona. ;.;

I think this idea is Great for yourself and for others, for example me: got 2 skins that i love (elderwood lb and zombie brand) but i really want a ahri skin but i cant be so lucky, but my friend got the foxfire ahri and at the same i've got the legendary skin to teemo and he loves to play with teemo so it would pretty cool if we could trade xD

Yes but that way you could just farm chests on smurf account and trade everything over to you main account, Riot will never let that happen.

This would actually be amazing i constantly get skins i will never use and would be more than willing to trade / give them away to friends that would actually play with them. I think it would further the experience of the game for new players and younger players without jobs or ways to make money.

Most likely won't happen as it will lose Riot money.

What would be interesting to see is Riot make chests able to be disenchanted into a complete key - not fragments - (for the lack of keys they give you... since they want you to buy them). This way you can at least open some of the content you get through Hextech Crafting.
