Riot claims they made the move to sustain League of Legends' “long-term health.”
However, bringing back the Hextech Chests wasnt one of them.
Why are they removing the Hextech Chests?
Pabro and Meddler also emphasised that this move was made to make everything about LoLs long-term health and sustainability.
They ended the statement on the Hextech chests by ensuring that LoL remains to be a fully free-to-play game.
What changes to the Battle Pass and rewards are coming?
Meddler and Pabro also discussed what changes theyre making to the reward system, including the Battle Pass.
“We’ve heard feedback that Battle Pass skins aren’t good enough,” said Pabro.
“We’re adding more distinct visual effects and model changes.”
Future skins will also move away from strict season themes to avoid repetitive designs.
These changes wont be immediate.
Unlocking a Battle Pass skin will now also unlock the champion if you dont own them.
“Pass skins wont affect when a champion gets their next regular skin,” Pabro clarified.
“If Alistar is in Act 2s Battle Pass, he can still get another skin this year.”
Missions are also getting fixes.
“We’re removing unpopular missions that require playing with purchased skins,” Pabro said.
Meddler added, “Hard missions like Destroy 5 Turret Plates in a Single Game will be reworked.”
Riot will learn the hard way
The dev update did not go very well with players.
Companies get so greedy they forget that their money comes from… players.
