Riot announced the item ratio of Hextech chests

The 2018 season introduced a brand new loot system in League of Legends, from getting champions when leveling up to fixing the honor system. Soon we will know exactly how this system works.

It’s frustrating when you’re struggling to win, getting an S with your favorite champion only to unlock a Tristana shard from a Hextech chest when you’ve already received three champion shards in the lvl 44 bonus. . And conversely, some gamers with the blessing from the god Turtle, have opened the extremely rare Neon Pax Sivir skin from the same Hextech chest.

Until recently, gamers were still in a state of “closed eyes and feet” when opening Hextech chests without knowing the mechanism and rate of receiving its precious skin. However, a few months into the eighth season, Riot has revealed the statistics of the in-game loot system for the first time, and now we can know the rate of unlocking beautiful skins. .

Hextech Chest

Item drop rate:

• Costume piece: 50%
• Champion Shards: 25%
• Expression: 10%
• Eye shard + 150 Orange Essence: 11.5%
• Hero Icon Piece + 150 Orange Essence: 3.5%

Extra bonus:

• Gemstones: 3.6%
• Key + chest: 10%

Masterwork Chest

Masterwork chests are more expensive and quality chests with item ratio:

• Costume piece: 70%
• 525 Orange Essence: 10%
• Expression: 10%
• Eye fragment + 150 orange essence: 10%

Extra bonus:

• Gemstones: 3.6%
• Chest + key: 10%

Of course, it’s not that simple. There are a few rules in the Hextech loot system, such as it won’t let you open “junk” continuously for a long time. Riot has also addressed this issue directly.

Interesting things

• All Skins in the Hextech system have the same rate of being unlocked, including Ultimate skins.
• All of the ultimate and mystical skins will automatically become permanent, saving you a huge amount of orange essence.
• This system does not allow you to be too black, you cannot open 3 chests without getting any skin shards.
• Gems are similar, but not 3 but 50. You can’t open 50 chests without getting any gems.
• More chests + keys can be opened.
• Chances of getting a Hextech skin are about 1:2500.
• The Hextech Chest only unlocks champion shards worth more than 4800 blue essence.

Riot publishes these data with a list of statistics as part of its efforts to improve transparency when it comes to rewards and in-game items. The chest system is still quite new in League of Legends, but Shop items have been a part of the game for so many years. It is good to know the item ratio that we can get when investing in the chest + key in the shop.
