If I'm not wrong, that image looks like it's from our old office. So what you're seeing is from prior to April 2015. Sorrrrryyyy :(

It's an option obviously so bad that it makes the other options look good.
Almost. It was put in place so that you can always use your content for something. Basically if you have 0 essence and 1 shard and you don't ever want to engage with loot anymore, your shard isn't completely unusable. But no, people rarely use it, we don't want them to, and it's not meant to be a trick or anything like that.
I did nothing!
Nah thanks for keeping us honest!
Yeah, WizardCrab said he'd remind someone. Glad they got around to it.
When I emailed them they were already on it. :)
Just want to ask. Have you ever had an urge to do the crab rave? Asking for a friend.
🦀🦀 I’ve rarely not 🦀🦀
Thanks for the reminder! Sending email... now.
I got Battle Academy Ezreal, which I already own, so I just refunded the Ez and used the skin shard. Free 1820rp :D
Damn that's some value.
Do you see this /u/WizardCrab
I see this!
I got 3 shards of skins I already own :/
Worst case you can reroll the 3 for a guaranteed unowned skin.
Usually League.
What you're seeing is a promo code bundle. If you've ever gotten a code at an event, you're actually getting a bundle like that. We price them ridiculously high in case they accidentally go live... ;)
"There is nothing for me but this."
I'll look into it. It's unlikely it was on purpose.
Finally a post we can all agree with.
Not to disagree with your sentiment, but doesn't the misleading naming of the orbs somewhat contradict what you're saying? The naming of the orbs is akin to what gacha based games do, with event specific lootboxes/gachas.
Yeah it’s not perfect. We want the orbs to be themed with the event so that the whole thing is feels cohesive, but that risks a little extra confusion. Tradeoffs :/
But we’ve never seen a ton of confusion so I feel okay about it.
I disagree.
I'm probably not one to talk about this since I've not done more than cursory research into things like gacha business models, and Riot does have extra worlds tokens to spice the orb packets, but having a sea of potential outcomes (skins with no rate-ups) will never fly in other gacha models.
What happens instead is that the average player would hesitate to buy the orbs to 'roll' for the skins. It can of course be argued that you could just buy the skins you want, instead of having rate-ups. But the entire gambling aspect of lootboxes relies on you thinking that orbs are less 'expensive' than just straight up buying the skins, and having rate-ups 'trick' the player into buying more.
That’s exactly what we don’t want. Loot in league isn’t supposed to be a gacha. If you want a skin, you should just buy it. We always want that to be the clear, best option. If you enjoy rolling and/or want some very limited, exclusive rare content, then go for loot. It gives you a discount if you would be happy with any of a bunch of skins. But it’s not for you if you want a specific one.
Great play!
This is my favorite kind of /r/leagueoflegends content.
Ready when you are!
I'm on.
I can do that, yeah. It's 2:45am here though (I'm in the UK), and I'm about to hit the sack. If you want to add me on Discord, I'll accept tomorrow and we can have a chat whenever you're free, at work/after work. Tag is ImaginesTigers#6622.
Cool of you to do this.
Added. More than happy to chat; I really just want to learn. I really appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you've put into your responses thus far, and I'm super interested to continue the conversation. I'll probably try to ping you tomorrow if we can make that work.
Read moreYeah, see the other comments posted by others in result to this one. People at large simply don't actually care that much about the players; it's a nice side-benefit that they get to support a player, but it doesn't sway people. What people want is a deeper attachment to their champion, not to connect themselves arbitrarily to a person that is probably much richer than us. They just won Worlds.
Continue to support the players, but the World champion skins (for many players) are just ways to support their favourite champions. I used Taliyah as an example because this is her first content since she was released two years ago -- the Taliyah Mains Discord is filled with people upset because the icon and the border are too expensive to justify the price, and the border is a way of saying, Hey! I really like this champion!
I agree that 'buying early' (as was done with Star Guardian) doesn't work here, because the skins leave the store quite early, but you should know ski...
I'd love to have this dialogue with you over voice - I kinda hate the Reddit comment back and forth. What you're saying makes a ton of sense. I've typed and re-typed responses multiple times but trying to convey every nuance I want to, making sense, and not writing a novel never all seem to come together in a single iteration. Any chance you want to hop on discord or something? I'd actually love to get deeper into your perspectives. If not that's cool - I can try to respond here.
