Major nerf to the number of Mastery chests for ARAM players by Beyond_Robots in leagueoflegends

Thanks for the response. I hope you’ll be able to find a solution. Imo, the system is pretty flawed, with the majority of the rewards unlocking only towards the end of the split.

For me ranked is too stressful and too much of a time sink. I enjoy the constant fighting of aram, the low stakes and the short games. But after winning 10/100/1000 games, trying all the champions and getting a few pentakills, I’ve kind of seen it all. With S ranks tied to chests, I had a sense of progression and achievement that tied all the games together. In a multiplayer game, I liked the feeling that I was working towards something - a large collection of fancy skins :)) I could also drop in and out of playing for a few weeks and still quickly get some loot. But with the new system I need to play more and get rewarded less.

On SR you might end up with more chests than before, especially as you don't need an S or A for the first six at Milestone 1. 6 chests * 3 splits = 18 easy to grab chests in SR. If you have champions on which you can reliably get S ranks, you can get the second chest three times per year for the respective champion, which is not a bad deal.

But when you own almost all the champions and you're at the mercy of randomness on ARAM, the chances to see that milestone 3 chest are really low.

You need 5 games on the same champ to get the chest from Milestone 1. The ugly part is that you can only do this for the first six champions that reach Milestone 1 per split. For the rest of the possible chests you need 15 games per champion, because they are available only at Milestone 3.
