No Hextech Chest from S rank

Not sure if this is a repeat report or not, if so sorry.

In a very simple explanation, you exclude all champions that are on free rotation from getting champion mastery due to the nature of players not owning that champion. This directly affects players that actually own the champion and it seems to affect if they will get a chest from a S-Rank game. Mind you all of what I said is an assumption and guess work on how it most likely is coded. If my assumption is correct this might be a oversight on the Hextech crafting system that probably should be fixed as soon as possible. I mean it is very frustrating to have a game where you do really well and the expected reward is nothing but dirty snot.

More information: Yes, I have not acquired all my chests for the month. In fact none, meaning I can get four if I bother to play SR. I consider myself a ARAM main, which is frustrating enough that we have been left in the cold when it comes to Hextech crafting. In an attempt to put that rant aside, I played a normal draft pick SR game with some IRL friends. I managed to get S-rank with Morgana whom is free at the current moment. If it means anything I do own her and a decent amount of her skins, doubt it matters though.

I have never acquired a chest for Morgana, however in stats the chest icon is no longer grayed out and my highest rank acquired is now S. Sorry cannot prove that it was because I wasn't expecting to run into this issue...

I also double checked my inventory when the post-game chat stated I got a S-rank but did not say anything about acquiring a chest. Still zero chests in my inventory. I do believe, not 100% though but I think that my friends might of gotten something from it as we are in the same club. I'll have to ask at a later time as it is quite late in the night.

Here is the match details: LINK

The questions: Is this known as a bug/glitch or possible oversight? Is there a way to get the chest I should have gotten? (I already assume this is a lost cause but it can't hurt to ask)

Thanks for your time, xBLiNDBoi

Hey xBLiNDBoi,

I did some looking into this and it appears you earned a chest for Morgana with an awesome game on 3/29, which is why you didn't get the chest for her on 4/20

I think this would be a very useful stat to show. It was clearly possible to pull this information though I am not sure how difficult it may have been. Maybe even an icon next to the champion image somewhere that shows that a chest has already been unlocked with this champ?

I know my mains already have theirs so that is easy to remember, but since you can earn them through other people getting an S many including myself have unlocked them on seemingly random champions.

When you look on the champion page, champ that earn you a chest will have a gold border around them and when you hover your mouse over the icon it will show your highest grade you got on them and if you got a chest or not with said champ.

Nice to know! thank you.

If a premade ally gets an S, they will earn you a chest for the champion you are playing. More likely than a bug, a friend earned it for you before.

As I stated, never earned one for Morgana prior and I know it wasn't through teammates.

More likely you just don't remember. Submit a ticket.

Quite serious with my statement, I main ARAM I don't play SR as much as you are thinking but I'll take it into consideration. I most certainly have not played Morgana in SR longer within a month from my memory because I typically top lane or adc.

Just put in that Support Ticket and they'll try to figure out what happened. The system is new, so I expect there to be a few bugs out there. Determining the case from here is really difficult for me, because many players don't understand how the system works yet and already earned the chest or are ineligible for it (the best I can do is explain all possible scenarios).

hey kinda off topic but you know what i realized? this could also be blitz lining up the perfect shot with his thumb :P

Same. I know they said you can only get one chest per champ per month, but since the month just switched (notice how we are all getting key frags again), that should reset too. On a side note...since there is a monthly reset (having weekly reset icons for chests remaining) is rather confusing.

It's actually one chest per champ per season.

Could of sworn I read per month, if season based why is hextech crafting a thing?

edit: yeah it says per season, sort of lame of them. To get all 4 chests per month you need to get an S rank on 48 different champions per year. That sounds not very fun.

Duke Anax1 votes

Keep in mind you don't need to get the S with the champion, you only need S ranks in your premade while playing those 48 champions.

I got all my chests so far that way.

The goal of the system is to make players try new champions. I've gotten all of my chests so far (12 I think) and most were with champions I'd never have played if I weren't trying to get the chests. It's a cool and fun system, and it kind of makes me sad that some people are too narrow in their champion pools to appreciate it.

Keep in mind you get a chest for your champion if someone in your premade gets an S-rank. And that champion mastery is enabled on the rotating game modes. So you can get all your chests by simply screwing around with buddies in fun game modes while playing various champions.

It's not that hard in normals. I have got s rankings for champions, which i don't usually play.

I swear I got more than one chest on euw server with one single champ, few times even. Which surprised me at the time cause I didnt think it was possible. Maybe the month just switched like ppl here say, idk, was a while ago, but seemed close to each other.
