If you do get scammed off his you could either be 1. Stupid or 2. One of the people you have been playing with forever decided to scam you. Do you feel they should change mystery gifting because scamming is getting out of control.

you could just not gift people you dont trust

and if your friend scams you then i dont think that person is a good friend

plus the point of gifting is to give not receive you greedy pig

I think the gifting system is fine as it is because a Gift is what it is "an act of kindness not expecting anything in return"

but yeah I have seen friends gift people with the intent of getting one back, long story short they got ripped off.

Ripped off? You can't gift someone anything unless you have been friends 10 days. You give them a gift, its you giving them a gift and nothing more. How can that be a scam? "I'll give you one if you give me one!" - then they don't give you one, that's your own fault. I don't see that as a scam. Don't gift people you don't trust.

That IS a scam though lol, whether it's because of your friends' stupidity or not. Your friend made a deal to trade gifts with someone, they gifted their part, the other person didn't gift their's. Your friend got scammed.

True dat. It would be weird of Riot to change mystery gifting just because some people are stupid enough to make stupid deals :p

I could imagine however, that Riot would implement something like a mystery skin which you can buy for yourself (I think they already did that once, but not make it permanent). Anyway, internet tip for everyone:

Do NOT trade anything with a person you do not trust completely and are unable to punch him in the face in case he is being naughty :3
Change is gooooood
