The idea of chest is fine (oh i have 200 gems but i don't really want anything in particular? *BUYS CHEST!*) but having exclusive skins in them is not. Fact of the matter is you shouldn't force people to dump loads of money on a gambling system for a piece of content they want. Other than all Fenrir skins and a couple of ward skins I'm not really interested in much of the other content.
Basically me dumping $150 for a single skin I want is a complete waste of money because I would probably never ever use any of the other stuff I'd get from it.
No other MobA does this aside from dota 2 but it's no where near as bad since there is a trading system within the game which is still very heavily frowned upon . LoL's chest doesn't have exclusive content aside from seasonal skins that are obtainable during their respective holiday events that come back every year. You can wait for the skin to come back into the store.
Honestly in the end a system like that is more likely to get me to stop spending money on their game because no one really wants to support a company that is blatantly money grubbing.
I'm really get worked up about this.
TL;DR Chest are good. Exclusive chest content is not.
