Will we ever be able to exchange old heirlooms for shards?

I got my first and only heirloom in like, season three or something. Lifeline's shocksticks. I have played lifeline maybe a total of 11 times of my own volition. The season after that they introduced shards. I find it really unfair that the only time I (and many others) were lucky enough to pull a mythic (or spend hundreds trying to get the one they wanted) it's for a character I hate, just to have the option to PICK the heirloom you wanted introduced literally months later. Lifeline is not my playstyle and never will be, I don't enjoy playing her. I know for a fact I'm not close to pulling another one and I don't have $500 to blow on a mythic meanwhile I have a useless heirloom that I don't like and never see just sitting on a character I have probably less than one total hour of playtime on and other people have universal heirlooms they can use on whoever they want just because they were lucky enough to pull shards like a month and a half after I did and saved them. Is there any chance at all we'll be able to trade in old heirlooms for shards or exchange old ones for new ones? I would even trade in Lifeline's for one that's not universal, if that's "fairer" given their overall value. I just want one I'll actually get to use and look at.

    Yeah i know it's not currently, I'm asking if they'll ever implement it in the future. I know they said they wouldn't do it like five years ago but that was before universal heirlooms. All of my friends that I have talked to IRL don't want their old heirlooms from before shards were implemented, like literally at all. They all said they'd rather trade in their unliked and unused heirlooms for crafting metals or packs. I have a buddy who spent well over $1000 trying to get Wraith's kunai and he didn't get it because back then which heirloom you got was based entirely on RNG.

    I’m exactly the same I got bloodhounds years ago and like you I don’t play bloodhound never will and it’s so stupid that they can’t just let the people who got their heirloom years ago before shards were brought in to get a heirloom for a character they actually want but unfortunately EA are far to greedy to allow that, they’d rather you spend another £500 to get them yourself

    I am in the same boat and I support your idea. I have gotten Path's heirloom in season 3 and I never play Path, I have maybe 10 games played on him.. The saddest thing is that I spent 500$ on that heirloom, since back then we didn't have shards. I purchased 500 packs and got Path's heirloom lol it was the saddest day of my life.
