Hextech Chest

EasyL2P··1 votes·1,595 views

I'm here to talk about some changes I think would be good to Hextech crafting. My first and only change that would be nice to make is make all your chests refill after X amount of days. It's just a pain waiting six days and getting 150 essence and a ward skin. Now don't get me wrong I love Hextech crafting because it's an opportunity to get free skins that you don't own for free. Now for example if you get Spirit Guard Udyr from a chest and you have 100 essence and you need say 1500 essence for the skin and you get Taric from a chest, that means you have to wait six more days until you have a chance to get a skin and disenchant it for essence to use towards Spirit Guard Udyr. Now riot has been generous enough to release this so I don't know if these changes will come through. Remember this is just my opinion but I'm sure I'm not the only one that finds it a bit annoying to wait such a long time and get junk. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope any riot member considers this. Thank you have a nice day

If they changed it to what you want you wouldn't get any more (which is the only point you would want a change) they would change it to 4 per month or something refreshing at the start of each month, which would end up being less chests overall. (not that you could ever get enough fragments to open them all anyway).

I think you miss understood. Im saying every six days all of your chests refill. Im not going to explain why because its in my comment above. If this is too much then two chests every six days would be nice. Remember this is my opinion.

You would never get the fragments for this. As it is I don't get enough to unlock 4 chests per month and I play at least one game a day (where I win).

People play different amount of games a day. For your case you only play one game a day so getting fragments wont be as likely as 3-4 games per day but its still possible to get fragments. You dont get enough keys to open four chests because you only play one game per day and you may noy even win that game.

I said at least one. FTR I won about 30 games in the first week of this being out, I had 6 key fragments total from those 30 and 4 were in the first 6 wins. You would never get enough key fragments in a month unless you were playing every waking moment and with a full premade. Even then, I doubt it.

Well thats your opinion and i cant change that. Fragment drops are random so you may get lucky. Have a good day

They are random, but also set to get worse the more you get for a month. Math has already been done and to get 12 fragments in a month you need to average 80 wins. Let's assume that takes 150 games to get. Now you want to get 4 x as many chests, so without even taking into account how drops get worse as you get more keys you would need 600 games to do this. Goodluck playing 600 games in a month, even at 20 minutes on average that would be 200 hours of play which is over 6 hours playing a day. Sure some people could play that much but it is unrealistic and these numbers were set to make the amount of play needed even lower then it should be.

I'm not convinced people can get enough key fragments to open the current rate of chests, much less 2-4 times as many chests.

Getting fragments isnt as hard as you make it sound. It's all about luck my friend. I got two key fragments in a row and get at least a fragment a day and i dont even play everyday. Now if I can get at least one fragment a day w/o playing non stop then you should be able to get three fragments in six days for your chest. Have a good day.

Remember the drop rate goes down as you get them, so a fragment/day rapidly turns into a fragment/week even maintaining the same level of play/ and win rate.

Getting multiple fragments in a day is easy at first, and opening 2ish chests in a month is/was fairly doable. Getting to 3 is doable although takes some dedication, but I haven't heard of anyone actually playing enough to open all their free chests (assuming they've earned the max possible to date) using only fragments.

I can agree with you on the fragments, but luck is also a huge play since it's random and can happen at anytime if you win a game. The reason why I've made this suggestion is because you only get one chest every 6 days, and because the fragment drop is all random some days you will get some and some days you wont. The thing is in order to get 3 chests it's 18 days and that's pretty much half a month and depending what you get out of those chests it could be a complete waste or be totally worth it, It's all random. Waiting for four chests takes 24 days which is almost a whole month and same thing depending what you get can be a waste or totally worth it. Also with the fragments thing 6 days should be more than enough time to get one key to open your chest.

I have Spirit Guard Udyr shard, it actually takes 2950 :/

This is why the changes i stated would be nice, because people like you who get these expensive skins have to wait a long time to get it. On the other hand you did get it for free so the wait will be worth it.
