Can't help but feel like Mystic skins should be better quality skins.

Mystic skins are the hardest and arguably most expensive skins to get. Yes. It's possible to get a Mystic Skin from rerolling skin shards and opening hextech chests. But lets be 100% honest, that the chances of you even remotely possibly getting one of those from that is infinitesimally low. And if you got a Mystic Skin from just opening boxes, then my friend, please give me your home address so I can shake your hand and get maybe a single fraction of your luck.

However despite how much money and time it takes to get these incredibly rare skins, outside of the fact that you have it...there's really not much to them when you put the matter of price into it. Yes you can theoretically drop 5 dollars to get a box and get a mystic skin on the first one. But...no.

The problem is NOT that they're rare and hard to find. In fact I love that they're so hard to come by. The issue is that the quality of the skins themselves really just don't match the hard effort it takes to unlock them.

I have watched a youtuber burn almost 600$ on hextech crates and ONLY was able to get a single Hextech Annie skin from getting 10 gemstones.

This means that if you theoretically drop 600$, you MIGHT get enough gemstones to get -one- mystic skin. But the issue is, you're not just getting skin shards. When you throw in champion shards, ward skin shards and emotes into the mix, it decreases your chances even lower.

However the skins themselves...as pretty as they are. They just match the time, effort and money that goes into collecting them. I feel like they should at the VERY least be Legendary worthy.

Mythic skins are just not very good money makers. Sure, some people will drop relative boatloads of money just to glean one of these skins, but their value comes from their rarity, not the actual quality of the skin. The types of people who go specifically hunting for these skins aren't going to be dissuaded by a somewhat low quality skin, nor are they going to try harder if the skin looks better. But in the end, I'm certain that the proportion of the playerbase who drops 600 bucks on a mythic is low enough that they don't give as much money as much as the proportion who'd drop $15 for a new 1350 skin, so it doesn't make sense to put more time and effort into skins that won't translate into a whole lot of revenue.

I'd say they shouldn't be higher quality,because that'd make it just even more frustrating if you don't get them.

They should be more exclusive. They should make them more special for their rarity
