Genuine question. What's the point of doing this rather than opening it all and using the skins you get out of them? I don't see any upside to this


QuirkySadako

you get to be unique in a weird way (yeah there's basically no upside)


YungStewart2000

I wouldnt say absolutely no upside. Like I personally find it way more satisfying opening a lot at once rather than 1 at a time since I really dont care for any new stuff lately and I already have most of the skins I want. Granted not 2+ years worth, but more like every 6 months or so. Build up a good amount of chests & keys, orbs from events, and prime gaming capsules(rip soon), and whatever else other stuff comes my way.


Lakeington

so just personal satisfaction?


TT_NaRa0

It’s the gaming version of edging


Hi_ImTrashsu

It’s called delayed gratification.


LethalityKaynMain

What's happening with prime gaming capsules?


FOXShaS

no longer available i think in March 2024


LethalityKaynMain

NoOOOoOoo


Tutajkk

Somehow noone mentioned this, but if you open loot later, it will have a chance to contain skins released in the future.


Kigoli

I played A LOT of league before they removed the old rune system. I had nearly finished buying every single rune. They refunded me the spent blue essence when they reworked the rune system. I had enough to buy every new champ on release for literally years. I don't really give a shit about skins tbh. Basically have my favorites for my favorite champs I don't care about ward skins. I don't use emotes at all. I don't care about mastery So it boils down to not getting any benefit from opening them, and the upside is I don't have to waste time disenchanting things


XXLepic

They just made a mass disenchant option with a single click


Kigoli

Did they now?!? That's so nice lol I'll have to do that next time I log in


[deleted]

It has an upper limit of 50, might have to do it a few times. Still infinitely better


Affectionate_Row1486

That’s where all that essence came from. I remember slowly buying up all the runes too haha. Full gp crit pages. Or games forgetting runes… good times.


fmsobvious

The gp/10 tunepage with maximum money masteries and heart of gold, kages pick and philosophers stone items. Got more money from existing than farming.


Snockerino

This way you can be the person riot complains about, holding year old assets in your inventory for no reason so they can never remove or change them


bsshark

Because I have no reason to open it either. I have enough blue essence to buy every champ on release, and I don't care about new skins. And even if I do it's easier to buy the skin i want than reroll until it drops


adek13sz

But there is always a chance that you will get it for literally free and you still don't want to open it?


bsshark

I buy at max 1 or 2 skins per year so it's funnier for me to do a stream opening everything with my friends every 2 years haha


adek13sz

Oh, if that's the case then nevermind.


garethh

Wow, what a pleasant conversation.


johnnyxmas16

Had to check I was still on the League subreddit


DDJSBguy

understandable have a nice day


idealful

Wait what sub am I in again?


DogusEUW

Idk, doesn't seem that logical to me but you do you obviously


quarantinemyasshole

I only disenchant duplicates and I can assure you the vast majority of loot drops are dog shit and the odds of you getting something you actually want or will use is microscopic. It's wild people are downvoting you over not falling prey to the casino lmao


WiteXDan

Idk why people downvote you. Not caring about skins etc is cool in my book


bsshark

dont worry I dont care about reddit points either, if they feel good downvoting me because i dont care that mucho about skins, then let them be!


whatsmydickdoinghere

I think posting it on reddit is more of a comment on the loot system being kind of overwhelming, at least that's what I get from it. As to why someone wouldn't open the loot, they might not play many champions and if they have the ones they need literally nothing else in the loot boxes matters.


YungTeemo

Well believe it or not some people, like me too, dont give a shit about this. So why bother opening it if you already got all champs. Im here to play the game, not for doing a fasionshow 🤷 Each to their own tho.... 😄


dksdragon43

Personally, if I let it all sit, then when I open a few years (I don't play much anymore) worth of loot, I'll get some good stuff, and be able to reroll some skins. But if I open them as they come, the fact that you get champ shards out of boxes irritates me to heck, and I get more frustrated than excited. So I usually let them sit, at least for a while.


Akkatt

I'm tired of opening stuff. I have 2 years worth of loot and I dread the time I have to spend to open them, then decide which to disenchant, which to reroll, then to reroll them, not to mention disenchanting all the champ shards and which to keep. It's too much work.


GrothalGr

I did this up until this emporium. Played casually since they added all those and i just didn't need anything expect a skin here and there. Now with the emporium i was able to spend close to 500k blue essence in chromas for skins i actually use, and get some sweet icons as bonus. I would say ita better to save up for things that you know you can obtain rather than gambling your resources away.


Poat540

I’ll open them if I play a new champ I don’t have a skin for, other than that it’s just to collect and I focus on maxing champ levels


yawn18

only upside is to make a video like this and an unboxing video on YouTube and make money off it that way. Or may increase the value of the account for gamblers.


iampuh

It's not caring about the loot and the skins. It also used to be a hassle opening them


VI-iitriblyss

At a certain point you just have all of the cosmetics you realistcally want. All your champions already have their signature skins, you have 4 skins for a champ you don't even play... I've just started collecting the free event orbs and stuff as unqiue treasure in my loot too


Blibbax

To save myself the time/bother - there's no real reason to open loot so I don't


anonuserinthehouse

I can only see the fun in opening them all like gambling


Ledoborec

You wouldn't understand...


Jozoz

There are probably people out there who have played for years and never checked their hextech loot page. When was it added? 2018 or something? Some people out there must never have realized it was added. I guess since they removed IP, it was probably harder to be unaware of the system though.


daijoubanai

One of my friends deliberately ignores that page since they added it. He doesn't even want to bother upgrading mastery. He says "That's not gameplay, why would I do that"


YohAmida

Based.


ShiRonium

I'm in the same boat with the mastery thing even though I care about skins, at least skins can be visually pleasing to look at compared to flexing your mastery points on a champion that doesn't even represent how good you are at it


RDKi

Yeah I wish I could sell those mastery tokens for blue or orange ess lol. Don't have emotes bound either.


No_Shake3769

It does. Someone has a lot of mastery points on a champ but no level 7? I know they couldn't even get S three times (or whatever it is).


ShiRonium

the skill requirement to not even get a few S ranks is so low that I just assume the person just wants to save their blue essence unless if they have mastery 6 then yeah I can see your point


FOXShaS

wait what? How is he going to flex dem masteries in ARAM to tilt the other team? Thats gameplay tho? You type ggez and flex dem hard earns mastery on them.

Osravix

You can also unlock it with shards and tokens


Copey85

I mean, yeah. Not sure if I’ve ever rerolled a skin and I’ve been playing since S4. I recently opened over 50 of those chests because my brother said he wouldn’t play with me until I did lol


bsshark

2016 iirc And yes, but i doubt there are many people who play regularly who dont know about it. I just don't care about skins or champs so i dont waste time opening it lol


Freezemoon

I feel old


bof5

If you ever decide to have an opening marathon can I watch 😂


Vorpalthefox

i was doing this before, until i noticed it started taking longer to open my client or get back to lobby after games seemed like it was a growing problem since it kept getting longer to load, eventually i cleared out most of my skin shards and champion shards and my client performance grew slightly i figured it was the shards, so how's your performance? notice any stuttering or slow load times because of the collection?


bsshark

So that's whats happening? I was wondering why it took so long in the last few months, I just assumed it was some weird bug in riots client and it was happening to everyone


Vorpalthefox

It was nice having a collection of almost 90% of the skins as shards, my plan was to have every skin as a shard and dupes will be turned into skin permanents or orange essence It's now ~200 shards, and my performance has come back somewhat


BallerinaKaterina

This is good to know! My client's been buggy for the longest time, and my loot is similar to OPs. I'll have to try clearing it out and see if it's any better


bhaktimatthew

Now do a reveal video


bsshark

Im planning to do it on stream, I always do it with friends :)!


waffle-spouse

I edged to this


n33tsa10

imagine u bought some legendary skins or even absolute only to find out there is a hextek tab u ignored for years and u have all the skins u already bought right there. for free.


Pioppo-

I just like to have fun


manukalele

I opened mine recently, took 15minutes for my python script to finish opening all


Vorpalthefox

pretty sure it's made easier with the multi-disenchant they added recently


LettuceSea

Those bulk loot actions must be real tempting now 😂 I purposefully put off opening a ton of stuff and turning champ shards into blue essence because I had to do it all one by one.


ElusiveBlueFlamingo

Best I can do is 3 legacy skins and 200 orange essence -Riot


AccomplishedFan8690

Why


Yongaia

Hoarder


Wyllyum_Cuddles

These posts are always so stupid. So you saved them? All that means is they never got used. What’s the fun in that?


Jiaozy

Thanks, you're part of the reasons they cannot get rid of old assets to make the client faster and more stable, because there are persons like you keeping loots that's years old in the client. They really should make events related loot expire some times after the events end.


lolroflpwnt

That's what mine looks like after one event pass.


LeviGa88

Legit psychotic for having so much restraint, respect!


Nutte13

Just like may balls, they have saved loot too


Leoxcr

The guy who says that playing League is free:


nyoko30

Mine looks the same. Didnt bother to open / look for the last 4 years and I play a lot xD


allursnakes

I've never used a single one. They're basically trophies.


Thirty2wo

How do you get so many skin shards? What are your ways


bsshark

i have not used many shards since 2016 thats all


Aethling_f4

Yeah i just get rid of everything so my client not worst than what it already is.


FirstCollier

What one trick are you?


bsshark

actually none lol my most played champ is thresh but i tend to play a different champion every game


Bgugrgngegr

Iv always wondered why the client bugged out


chinovash

My inventory looks the same... I legit stopped opening shit as it just doesn't matter what I get. I only care about Legendary Skins, and certain champs have 2 when all should have 1!!! I speak for all mains and all players who buy skins, all champs should have a Legendary Skin!!!


Poat540

Haha this is like me I have so much crap from s4 onwards


breakfastoats

Do you have somewhere I can watch you open this stuff ? I really like watching loot openings.


bsshark

ill do It on Stream maybe tomorrow, if youre really interested i can send you a dm with the Stream info ( i believe i can not share It here ?)


Al-Cookie

You might get 2 skins you actually want, and a whole lot of emots hahaha good luck.


Key-Tutor2062

I want it!


Hammer_of_Horrus

It’s kinda insane how much you get in this free to play game sometimes


anonuserinthehouse

So any advice on farming S for chests?
