Hextech Crafting soon debuts on PBE 

First off we have an update on the Hextech Crafting system! The upcoming system was announced a few months ago as part of the2016 changes and will allow players to unlock and/or craft things like champions, skins, and icons by playing to earn or purchasing chests and keys!

Here's the latest news, including a Q&A announcement and that the system is headed to the PBE soon!


"We’re just about ready to start testing loot and Hextech Crafting. Tomorrow, January 13, we’ll be introducing the new system to the PBE. We wanted to create a new way for players to unlock cosmetic content and champions, so we’re introducing a new system in 2016. Our two goals are to recognize and reward great performances in League and provide a way to pick up randomized loot at large discounts.

On Wednesday, Rioters behind Hextech Crafting, loot, and the upgrade to Champion Mastery rewards will be chatting about the design and testing of the new system, so head over to the Hextech Crafting and Loot Q&A at 11 AM PST on January 13, 2016 for even more info on the newest way to grow your League collection over time.



Updated Announcement Page:

If you head on over to the 2016 Season Changes site, the Hextech Crafting article has been updated with a ton of new information and details on the upcoming system!


"We’re introducing a new system to reward you with loot-filled chests through Champion Mastery when you or your premade perform well and also provide a way to pick up randomized content at large discounts. 

Unlock chests with keys earned by winning matchmade games. You’ll find fragments of loot inside which you can redeem for content like champions, skins, and summoner icons. 

Read on for more details! 

LOOT


Earn Free Loot with Champion Mastery Rewards 


 The loot system is a new way to craft, earn, or purchase content like champions, skins, ward skins and summoner icons.

Mastery Chests 


Earn locked Mastery Chests by performing well across a variety of champions or as part of a team. When you or someone in your premade party earns any S rank, you’ll acquire a chest. You can earn up to four chests each month, and each champion you play can earn you one chest per season.
You’ll see which champs you’re eligible for in champ select and on your champ details page.

Keys and loot in the store 

To unlock your chests, you have a chance to randomly pick up a key each time you win any matchmade game and winning with friends results in finding more keys than going solo. 

For those who just want to pick up content at a significant discount, we’re offering chests and keys individually in the store. All chests contain random loot worth more than the cost of the chest (well, depending on how you feel about Teemo) so you can purchase with the confidence of knowing you’re getting a good deal (but a direct purchase from the store will still be the best way to pick up specific items). 

HEXTECH CRAFTING

CHESTS



Earn chests as rewards or purchase them in the store for 125 RP. Chests contain loot, loot shards, or essences and will sometimes include multiple loot types (but will never contain only essences).

KEYS


Earn keys as rewards for winning any matchmade games or by purchasing them at the store for 125 RP. Keys unlock chests through Hextech Crafting. 

SHARDS


Shards are crafting materials that can be combined via Hextech Crafting to unlock permanent content (like champions). Crafting not your thing? Shards can also be redeemed for limited time use. 

ESSENCES

CHAMPION ESSENCE


Champion essence is used to upgrade champion shards into permanent loot.

COSMETIC ESSENCE


Cosmetic essence is used to craft all other types of loot from different kinds of shards, such as champion or ward skins. 

DISENCHANTING, UPGRADING, AND REROLLING AT THE CRAFTING TABLE 


Use the crafting table to redeem, upgrade, or reroll unwanted items. Here are a few additional details:


Redeeming 

Redeem a single shard for 7-day limited time use or redeem permanent loot to add it to your collection.
