Hextech Crafting and In-Game Reward Changes? Maybe?

0pAL2NlcpJ·5/17/2016, 1:05:51 PM·2 votes·510 views

Possible solutions/upgrades to the Hextech crafting and gaming experience. I feel like League of Legends is such a grind heavy game without any real decent rewards. I also encourage anyone to post their ideas/feedback.

                                                 **Hextech Crafting** ![item 3030](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/item/3030.png)

Blue Essence- 1.) Can make it so you are eligible to buy Champions with Blue essence from the shop(similar to ip). When enough blue essence is accumulated, summoners can buy or rent champions.

2.)Summoners who own all champions will have access to the 'Basic Mystery Box'. Access will be restricted if all champions are not owned (including newly released ones). This box can contain a high percentage of low end items such as summoner icons, ward skins, ip boosts, ip bundles,etc. The 'Basic Mystery Box' can contain a semi-rare item with a low percentage to obtain it.

                                                 **Accumulated ip** ![item 3301](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/item/3301.png)

Many summoners have been with the community for a long time. With this time large amounts of ip has accumulated on their account because of their long play times. Players should be given the option to use their ip, rather than having it sit and do nothing.

1.) Profile banner (in-game). BANNERS not BORDERS! With certain amount of ip, summoners can now unlock different banners for their profile. Right Click>View Profile> Banner with border around it

                                                  **Questing** ![item 3041](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/item/3041.png)

1.) Summoners now will have 3 daily randomized quests to complete. Completing the quests will have some form of reward. Summoners will have the option to abandon 1 quest in order to obtain another randomized one.

Quests can include things like, kill 5 Red buff camps, Kill a Dragon, Obtain 5 Champion kills, Obtain 100 Minion kills, Spectate a friend, Join a club, Join a team, etc. Suggestions are limitless.

What you think of these ideas/concepts for League of Legends? Your feedback will appreciated.

I think this is a genius idea. However, I'm not sure about the basic mystery box, a lot of new players will be restricted from it. I guess that doesn't matter though because it rewards long term players. I hope Riot reads this!

I don't really like this idea, as it basically completely invalidates the idea of Champion Shards in the first place: it doesn't MATTER what Shard you get, as it's all just broken down into cash to get the ones you want when you want them. You'd need to up the price considerably to make this work, I think: possibly double the current value, with the Shards themselves remaining at their current price to upgrade.

This is interesting, definitely. Though a lot of this (IP boosts, for example) aren't useful if you have all the champions already, and there's not necessarily enough basic content to make this work well. Might need to rethink the reward on this one?

Purchasing an animated loading screen for a champion and/or skin might be an intriguing idea: your portrait gains a special border and actually moves like a client loading screen?

This I actively HATE. HotS does this quest well, because it builds teams to balance out in terms of composition, and doesn't ask you do do anything different in game (quests are always "Play X type of character" or "Win"). This sort of quest method could actively lead to players playing the game in a manner that DOESN'T lead to their team winning just to get the quest over. Imagine supports stealing farm to get their minion kill quests, or mid-laners stealing Red Buff to get that last tick on theirs. Not good quest design, and not good for gameplay.
