What Riot should have done with Chromas.
Overwatch beta just returned today, or yesterday, with the new progression system and cosmetic unlocks...
... and i think this is what Riot should have done with their Chromas.
Each Mastery level gained would unlock one, or a couple... have several levels, done...
In case you missed it, on Overwatch each time you level up your account, you'll get a box (no level max, like Diablo's paragon) and inside you'll get said cosmetic rewards (recolors\chromas, spray tags to use in game, etc).
As you see, there are literally dozens of recolors for each skin..

I'd really, really like if Riot implemented something like this, and tied it in with Masteries, which right now, are underwhelming, and will be even more with the increase to level 6-7.

That's what they're doing lol
Is it? Right now you can buy packs of 3 chroma recolors for like 900 rps, or 1300... it's absurd.
Hextech Crafting will give access to champions and skins... not chromas, as far as i understood.
Here's what they are doing. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/hextech-crafting-soon-debuts-pbe
Yea, unless they're changing a lot going forward, those mention Champions and Skins... not chromas.
Chromas just seem like a awesome idea badly implemented, and just left on the side, when it could be something awesome for the players, at a very low development cost (chromas can be made by the dozens in very short amounts of time, as proven time and time again).
Why squander the opportunity?
they're 590, and they are intending chromas to be a reward in the future they're working on it
Love the ignorance buddy!
Yea, 590. I just skimmed and i saw some packs at 900 and 1300, but those include a particular skin on the price, if you don't already own it.
That being said... chroma packs at 590 rps is still absurd, with a much more interesting possibility available.
You'd have a more meaningful champion level progression, with fun rewards, instead of what you have right now, where champion masteries are useless.
But thanks for the feedback, "buddy".
