"To keep or not to keep?" - that is always the question with gemstones.

Then I thought to myself: "I don't really spend much money on League of Legends to the point where I'd ever earn ten in a short period of time so #YOLO (emphasis on the hashtag)". I disenchanted it and was surprisingly not disappointed by my luck.

So I'll ask the same question to all of you that I asked myself today. What do you usually do with your gemstones and why?

I've only gotten one gemstone after around 30+ chests.. I kept it. Maybe after 3000 more games I'll get that Soulstealer Vayne....

I always turn them into chests and keys, I don't like the skins that you get through the gemstones, might as well try for another, plus, you can just get them from a regular chest anyway to my knowledge.

Open a chest. I don't play Annie, Vayne or Darius and I already own the best ward (Definitely not a Ward).

I still have two sitting there, wondering if I should just change for chest or just leave and see if I can get 8 more for Dreadnova Dar XD (since I own the other 2)

I have 5 sitting in my inventory right now, so I'll just grind it out for the last 5 I think

Whether or not I go for the other 2 skins after, I do not know

i just straight up disenchant them, 1st because i don't have the patience to wait for 10 and 2nd because none of the hextech skins intrest me to begin with.

Save them, buy the skins via the crystals. I didn't grind out for a lot of the crystals, but I own everything except Darius's skin now.

I lucked out the first time I rerolled 3 skins and got the Hextech Annie... So 'eh. (Then I literally did the same exact thing another time, but I already had Annie so it was a major letdown in terms of luck.)

A somewhat liquid income means I can afford about 10 bucks per month if I really want a skin, so I save my gems.

I've played for a long time, so ultimately I've gotten a lot of "free" skins. (Nightmare Cho from a Razer promo for example.) I sometimes see a few of those pop up and liquidate those for orange essence or reroll 'em.

I keep them. I have like 4 now, so in time I got 10 maybe there will be a cool skin for a champ I play

I got Vayne and Annie already, as well AD the ward skin.

I have enough gemstones to get the Darius skin but I don't play Darius and Dunkmaster is 10 times better than the Hextech skin imo.

Gotta wait for the next Hextech skin and hope it's for a champion I enjoy.

Edit: I got 19 gemstones. I spent way too much on this game

I got a lot of gemstones from the VS event, so I bought some chests trying to get more so I could get Dreadnova Darius. I got SGUdyr, Dreadnova Darius skin shards, and now I'm sitting on 18 gemstones in case they come out with another hextech skin I actually want, or until I get 20 to get Annie or Vayne, since I don't really care for either of those skins.

I collect them and I will try to get all the Hextech eclusive skins some day . I already own Soulstealer Vayne, I got some Gemstones with my luck, some then you could buy them in a bundle. At the Vs. event I also was extremly lucky - I got two from the missions and spent around 30 Euro and got 6 gemstones from the Order Orbs. Currently I have 8, so two more and I can go for the Hextech Annie.

Nah, I just save them. Don't really have anything important to use them on. Yes, I could convert them to a chest & key. But I don't feeling like it.

BTW, I have 6 genstones as of this point.

Chembaron Yamada7/13/2017, 12:20:12 AM1 votes

Got 3 this season and kept them all. If they release a hextech skin for one of my champs and I disenchanted them, I would have to kick my own ass.

I always use them the moment I get them. And I sincerely don't regret it. I got many cool skins through Hextech Chests, and I'm still deciding which skins I want to keep and which I won't miss after their sacrifice.

I also tend to play many champions, and I don't really have any favourite skin to hunt, so I like the randomness offered by the chests.
