Riot, I'd love the ability to gift skin shards to friends

Hey there Riot,

I never really ask for anything because I feel like you guys do a splendid job with maintaining and adding amazing features to this game. I was hoping that maybe you would consider allowing a player to gift like a skin shard they obtained to another player. I mean, think about it for a sec. You play a great game with a stranger and you want to thank him for his kindness on a champ he is learning. Or let's say you have a wife that loves to play a certain champion and all you want to do is show her that you appreciate the hell out of her on and off the rift. I know this would open the floodgates to other situations but sometimes you want to be somewhat selfless without necessarily digging deep into your own pockets. I think a gesture like this would further help maintain a non toxic community and create a new path for player empathy. Heck, it may even boost the sales of chest and keys. Anywho, thanks for hearing me out, Riot. Stay classy.

Kaze

I would love this, but there would need to be a certain level where this would work, since you can easily create a new account, get a couple level, and get the premium chest. Then you could gift it to your main account and get easy skin shards

So a black market for skins that circumvents riots main way of making profit?

I wish we could trade them like trading cards. I have some legendary ones for champions I will never play and would love to trade them to someone for ones I will.

I wish this could be implemented. It seems as though I always get skin shards my girlfriend wants and my girlfriend always gets skin shards that I want xD.

Not going to happen, I don't understand why people keep asking this.

3rd party websites would sell skin shards for heavily reduced prices and make Riot lose a ton of money

I'd do it be an ass to my friend and gift them an ultimate skin shared only for them to realize they wasted all their orange essence for a 1350 skin. And if this those become a thing make it random so it wouldn't be abused
