Crafting is getting way too convuluted as it is. I did not bother with the snowdown chests too, I did not even understand what I would be gambling my money away for.

This is the same. Buy chest -> chances for random stuff -> combine random stuff into other random stuff -> get chest that gives you random stuff.

What? o0

I had to look at it for like 30 minutes to understand what was happening. I then realized that it was not worth it

I read through the announcement page 3 times: First time: "They can't be serious! :O" Second time: "Wait, are they actually serious? o.O" Third time: "...Yeah, they are serious. :/"

I heard you like random stuff so here is some random stuff for your random stuff so you can random stuff while you random stuff.

I miss when they had icons that you could earn through playing games. I just dislike crafting in general. I also really hate that we have to spend Blue Essence to unlock mastery 6&7. If anything WE should be getting Blue Essence for getting mastery 6&7.

If anyone here plays Destiny, this same idea is what inspired players to call their "Festival of the Lost" the "Festival of the Cost". Bungie expected players to pay a lot of money for not guaranteed items.

I don't mind crafting. However i find it ridiculous that it's the only thing they're offering this event. A personalized shop would have been cool. I know they say that they haven't worked on the feature on the new client yet but i really wish they could tell us what makes the process so long/hard so at least we can give them an excuse.

I'm just dropping money on the Morgana and maybe the Caitlyn skins and that's it. None of this RNG bullshit.

This was basically my exact reaction. Upvote for Bender.

I don't get it. Isn't this the same as Snowdown, and people didn't complain as much?

No its not. You could buy things with IP in snowdown. Granted some of the premium items were behind a paywall (which is perfectly fair), but you could still get some items with IP. This time, you buy chests for 250 RP, and get a random set of relics. If you gather enough relics you can buy a skin shard (not a skin, a shard), a random mystery skin, or a gem (depending on which relics). So maybe you get lucky and get 2 mystery skin after only spending 500 RP, maybe you don't and need to spend more RP to get anything at all. It is purely a gamble, and a gamble that takes money.

They ever keep telling us that this game is filled with underage people (cannot post stuff of certain natures on the Boards etc.)...exactly what are the laws on gambling for minors?

Because the way these past events has been presented, they are 10/10 incentives to gambling as far as I can tell.

No reason to complain in Snowdown. There were mystery chests for 490 RP that would guarantee an unowned skin for a champion you already own. Considering I have a 1 in 10 chance of getting a shard for an unowned skin for a champion I own, I can't justify the gamble.

No, this isn't the same as Snowdown - this is worse.

Snowdown the chests were also themed such as robot skins, space skins, food skins, etc and you could see what potential shards you get before purchasing the chests. With this it's completely random it's better to save rp for self mystery gifting

I see what you did there.
