it would take an insane amount of time to build up a 'substantial skin collection' with hextech chests, because you need orange essence to redeem the skins.. or 3 skin shards for a random permanent. the people that apparently did just played the game an insane amount, therefore they SHOULD get more rewards..
@@LordKeram it averages out to roughly 8.5 random skins by rerolling 3, or 5.5 skins if you're using orange essence for them. Then there were old Battle Pass free orbs which would give around 6 random skins by rerolling or 4 skins using orange essence. So technically the number of skins you get right now with the current system went down by like 2 compared if you only used orange essence, but instead the skins are specifically made (such as the free non random skin in the Battle Pass and the 3 victorious skins). Technically they could have removed the free Battle Pass orbs and the number of skins you got from max yearly hextech chests would have been lower than now.

@@CatgirlChloe ok but a gacha system isn't as expensive as riots and you may say "oh but you get sparks in the battle pass" yes you do.

I could play an actual gacha game and get more than that just playing the game. If there was free ways to get ancients sparks, like 5-8 a month for completing some really long mission that lasts for the month, than paying for the battle pass or paying for pulls it would make more sense and more acceptable but it is 100% a greed play.
Game is 15 years old and hasn't changed a bit in 15 years Riot has fired half of his employees and is planning to ad AI To reduce some costs and we have gach system into the game and is getting worst Idk how much a server cost to run a 15 year old game and a Clint that keep crashing
Not to mention players have been on the same map for 15 years yet they release thousands of skins which cost nothing to upkeep and still hide your purchases behind an RP purchase that leaves you with extra points, that in itself should be ILLEGAL
The thing is, the reason I don't buy skin? Because I don't play Lux, Katarina, MF, Ezreal, Yasuo, Yone. I play Hwei and Illaoi, illaoi of which see skins on a turnaround of once every two years, and Hwei doesn't even have a non-release skin yet. So why would I put money in when the same champs constantly get the high effort fucking skins? Whilst I get shitty Anima Bear Illaoi, when she works better as Primordian. Literally a squid/octopus got theme going on with her.
If they made the skins for unpopular champions cost more so they turn the same profit as the skins for popular champions, would you not scream about it? If a Lux skin will sell probably a million copies, and a Hwei skin will sell 10 000 , would you pay 10x for a Hwei skin? No?
Can relate, though not to the same degree I used to. Bard and Ornn used to never get skins (my main and secondary respectively), I do really enjoy playing other less popular champs too, like old Asol and Rell (I miss her old kit)
1. Skin progression was completely random. You could spend 3 years playing the game and never see the skin you actually want. So there was still reasons to buy skins. 2. The only players with a large amount of skins are the people who have been playing for 5-6 years at least. Removing crafting doesn't incentivize veterans to spend more, and just screws over new players. 2. Champions like Ezreal, Lux, Ahri, Akali are clearly more favored than champions like A Sol or Illaoi. So a LOT of players have no reason to buy skins because their mains haven't gotten good skins for years. 3. Getting a cool skin for a champion you don't play encourages people to start engaging with champions outside of their pool, which helps keep the games fresh You can't convince me that something was wrong with the old system unless they tell us that League of Legends is actually dying in all regions (it's been dying in NA for who knows how long) and it's not looking good for the future. Which, they will never do, obviously. And if League is actually dying, I don't there's anything that can solve that anytime soon.
I love how they try and make it sound like we are unreasonable with "We know some people will think this is just because we are greedy". Bro, you put yourself in our shoes. We see a skin people have been waiting years for come out as $500, then a gacha with glorified ultimate skins that costs $250 dollars, and the Mythic variants that are another $200, and then you are removing chests so that it is harder to get skins without spending money... You cannot convince me that this isn't entirely out of greed and riot NEEDS to do this to maintain Leagues long term health. I don't give a shit that they are doing it, it is just disgusting they are lying about it so that u feel bad and accept it... Also, WHERE IS MY FUCKING MYTHIC ESSENSE?????? How am I supposed to give u $20 for a pass when u can't even give me mythic essense to get an actually decent skin... oh wait... Mythic essense is locked behind the gacha... and chests..................... AND THEY ARE TAKING CHESTS AWAY??? Riot is taking chests away to incentivize people to spend money and roll on the gacha
What they saying is an absolute joke, just based on the free to play experience, what can you earn, about 10 to 15 skins a year. You mean, less than 1% of all the skins on the game. Even with 5 years youll get just around 5-7% of it.... They just become greedy...
And nobody is playing enough to get that many skins anyways... or at least I wasn’t playing that much. Plus you’re probably not even getting the skins you want.
I've been playing for 3 and a half years now and I'd say I haven't really spent much on lol. I've bought from shop maybe around 10 skins, but I've bought every bb since I started playing and I have 18% of the skins in the game. It was fun and the game had something to grind for. Ain't buying these new passes.
I hope they keep running the game into the ground. The entirety of Riot Games deserves a reality check for how fucking blind they've been for years now.
Lmao Tencent alr recuding cost by layoffs + 250~500$ skins and its STILL not enough no! They gotta make it harder i guess.....whats next, blue essence emporium cost 2x more now? But honestly dont fully blame it on the speaker like meddler (is it called spokesperson? Tryna learn english again) Its the ones behind every decisions that are responsible and arent visible
Meddler looks like an amazing person and developer - the scumb@gs making the greedy decisions is most likely upper management, and they're just using Meddler and the rest of the dev team to hide from the criticism.
They want people to get the battlepass, which is priced at 1650 rp.... then they make it so that the closest RP pack you can get is 1450..... so you'd better take the NEXT 2800 or whatever RP pack if you want it... Rito please
Wtf ?!!?!?!? Do my ears fool me in here ? "The system was too beneficial for players so we decided to remove it lul" Is that what they have really said ? 500 dollars skins, RP prices constantly getting a increase every year and now this ? What kind of greed is this ?
Its crazy it took this many years for people to catch on, remember when worlds events were free, you just played the game and got tokens. and then eventually they made it so you still got tokens, but had to pay for the battle pass to use them . lmao
@@Akynam brah don’t try to defend them, the game was extremely profitable even during 2 seasons ago when you used to get a lot of free hextech chests. They got greedy for money so they lowered the system to a max 3-4 chests a season. You’re telling me its destroying their profits giving someone 3-4 chests for free a year (you need to dismantle half of them cz their usually garbage for orange essence to upgrade to the skin you want (so technically you are only getting 1-2 skins maybe)
I can only hope the extra potential money they are gaining from removing chests gets pumped into things like the mmo or other shows like arcane, hextech chests have been in the game for ages and they have made profit every single year.
@@XFredon31 i saw a few comments of people that really thought it was fine using the face of base senna in her new skin, like riot needs these idiots to do whatever they want

Yes removing chests fckin sucks, but what I hated even more is the change to Mastery Levels, I had sooo much fun collecting mastery level 7 on many different champs and they killed it with their ugly ass mobile like garbage infinite scaling mastery levels that noone cares about
Guys you don't get it, they need you to buy skins so they can pay their employees. Only they keep firing more and more of them and they keep asking for more and more money
How about instead of removing chests that give us dogshit 12 year old skins. START PUTTING COOL SHIT IN THE GAME. CUSTOM ANNOUNCER PACKS. MUSIC KITS. WAY COOLER CUSTOM WARDS. CUSTOM HUDS. PROFILE TRINKETS. PEOPLE WILL BUY IT. RIOT IS LITERALLY GRIEFING. Look how much fortnite scaled their economy. People want to spend money, they just aren't giving us cool shit to buy.
All riot has done is make me spend zero dollars this year at all. Didn't biy the pass, bought zero skins, so they change made them get less money from me.
Practically every F2P and gacha game has a generous system when it comes to giving away free currency/content. Back in the day a lot of mobile games gave away very little for free, but over the years the industry standard has been to give a lot of skins and content away to people who play the game, the reason this changed is because it normalizes skins. Look at clash of clans, even that game has a fucking battle pass now that gives free content. TFT and wild rift owned by riot have more generous systems than even league WITH hextech chests, let alone without them. So both Riot themselves and every other game in the industry has become more generous over the years, riot themselves hopped on that trend with hextech chests, but now they decide to reverse that. So either everyone is wrong, and some dude just figured out some crazy wacky new strategy for skins in league. Or whoever is in charge of league monitization is a fucking idiot. The latter seems more likely. I'm not even mad about skins, it's a free to play game. It just seems like such a weird thing to go against the industry standard.
Not only did they kill hextech chests instead of nerfing them, they also nerfed the pass. You get less skins and half of what you get is predetermined. So yeah, they nerfed f2p but also the paid experience. While also making it more expensive to run because now they have to come out with more new skins each pass.
The biggest problem is that they release so many skins, it makes it just not worth it to buy skins. Back in like season 8, I was hyped for sales and even made a list of my favorite skin for every champ with the goal of collecting them all one day, but they just kept releasing these "prestige" skins and many other skins for the same champion where it just became not worth it to spend a single dollar on skins because if you buy one for your favorite champion now, maybe 5 months later they will release a prestige skin or a legendary that's just better. Not to mention, most skins nowadays look so familiar or don't have anything special coming with them, so why would be bother buying them?
They could take the higher end skins out of hextech chests so you only get rare and legacy skins from chests and no future skins get added to the system. Then the only way to get the higher end skins would be from combining 3 skin shards. They could then make it so that the new skins aren't available from the reroll either if that's too much as well. Tweaking the system so that people get less or lower value skins is a better way to do it than removing it entirely and leaving people with their large key collections. I personally have 11 chests left and I don't know if I will use them since they're gone forever basically. I kind of just want to hold onto them as a reminder of what we lost.
More like they discussed it as an option so much, that the script writer and those 2 clowns didn’t even find it strange anymore. Otherwise no one would even think about putting that line into a dev video.
Crazy idea, what if instead of coming in like a wrecking ball and removing chests + gateing mythic essence behind the gacha system + screwing up the battlepass essence rewards on release You just... 1) Made it so that you could only earn skins below a low price tier, or only the oldest skins through chests. 2) the only way you can get skins of a higher price tier through loot is rerolling. This would: -Still create an engaging system of rewards for playing the game -Dramatically reduce the amount of skin shard hording for dust, because players know they have to reroll skins they dont want forba chance at better skins -Reduce the amount of skins people unlock a year, as there will be more rerolling -Have minimal effect on the desire to purchase new skins, as older lower priced skins arent nearly as cool or high quality as more modern skins, and the chances of getting a skin permanent off a reroll, that you would have ever considered purchasing, for a champion you like playing is insanely low
Like honestly they made their best to not make their game outright dead after the removal of chests. They did it during the season swap, with map, new boss, swift play, AND they added URF after they noticed their players leaving. BUT!!! You said yourself that you rewarded players for spending time in your game using those chests. Guess what fkin happens if you remove them? I just won't play the game? Honestly it feels boring after you get accustomed to new season changes. And if you get like 50% win rate in ranked with no improvement, you just feel stuck in place with no way to progress and the game just feels meaningless. I feel empty whether I win or lose, as I just don't have that reward I used to have.
Most Hextech Chests mostly only gave Champion Shards and rarely a Skin. I dont know how they rooted mind work but i reached 34 keys so far and i have no use for them anymore. Im gonna reach a world record on how much key i can collect and show them how stupid that idea is.
Btw the battlepasses are also straight up worse. Before you could farm them skins with the mythic essence but now they took that away plus the chests which just severs a players ability to get any skins at all.
unlike every other publicly traded company ever, these guys aren't about indefinite growth. totally. edit: they really went "we know you won't believe us, so whatever"
Feats of strength should be for both teams, as an achievement of performing enough. Make it 10 takedowns, 2 towers and 3 objectives. Both teams get them eventually, but it incentivizes playing, even if the enemy team has the sneakers already. The shoes aren't good, but low elo still cares too much about them. Giving the 3 kills early means teammates run it down.
I said it in the past, I'm gonna say it again and PLEASE, AT LEAST READ IT AND CONSIDER WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY: Riot does not care about people being happy or people being angry. It just so happens that USUALLY happy playerbases stick to the game more than angry ones. USUALLY. In League, you have to factor addiction to the equation. Right now, Riot is testing the addiction of its playerbase, with changes that would normally kill any other playerbase (no more hextech chests, WAY less in game currency, meaning that moving forward players who do not spend real money on the game will have to either play 18 hours a day or take YEARS to buy champions). So, if you don't like those changes (and I'm not here to tell you what to like or dislike), there is only one thing to do: uninstall the client and stop playing for a few months. Find yourself another game. There are free to play games that are absolutely amazing right now, check marvel rivals for example. Or go play a single player game. But if Riot does not see the playerbase SHRINKING, they are not going to care about your angry posts and they are even caring less about your angry reactions to youtubers videos. If you really love this game and you don't want to see it ruined by mindless corporate greed, there is only one thing you can do to improve the situation: drop the game for a few months.
we've had chests for years and now they're gone for good we never had skins more expensive than 35 euros we've reached 500 euro with frequently released 200 euro skins. what a downfall
i disagree with saying nerf the chest. its the same as what they implemented and the nerfing the chest. if they want to lessen the chance more. it will still get the players mad. i dont mind the chest being yoink out but the acquisition of champs should be fasten.
Clash is going from monthly to every 2 months. Like you can remove it at this point. Last time it was from once every 2 weeks to monthly for "better clarity timewise". Thats just absurd.
My issue is I wanted to play games faster, but they got rid of quick play and made swift play I JUST WANTED TO GET INTO GAMES. I didn't need a whole ass NEW MODE that ends at 30 minutes from self destructing, what the fuck?
It was 4 chests per month previously. Which btw, its not a 100% that you get a skin shard. So 3 weeks to reroll a skin that you probably won't play in months. Roughly 17-18 skins per year with the previous system. Then you also gut the orbs from battlepass, skins are terrible, they look 750-975 tier. No free rolls for the gacha, 5$-€ each? Are we crazy? 5$ for 5 mythic essence/icon !!???? Previous battlepass you could get 125 mythic essence for the prize of it. And hey, they did not warned us about all of this changes. They told us they were going to do something only, so we don't farm the mythics before they are gone forever. This company just keeps doing disgusting decissions and they still don't care at all about what we say
The droprate was 50% for skinshards and not 75% though. With 26 shards per year it was more like 8 rerolls and 2 direct activations for a total of 10 skins per year.
Funny thing about this....over 90% of the skins people get from chests get disenchanted to have the orange essence required for the few skins they actually want to keep. Their take on giving away too many skins is disingenuous AF. They were already not giving away that much. Also, the people who don't BUY skins...are people who can't AFFORD to buy skins because of their real world situations. It has nothing to do with chests lmfao. PS: Swiftplay is dumb. Just bring back Nexus Blitz.
When they say our player number are steady but remove things like Hex chest they are lying 2023 2024 player base drop by 20 & 15% so they are losing money and that's why they removed hex chest.
They say it's not about making more profit, it's all about the security for the game long term = LOL (Ironic). This game is gradually going down hill. Personally been playing Heroes of The Storm again, recommend it as a great alternative to League. Happy gaming all!
Fast better solution: 1) skin shards more expensive/harder to obtain chcests. Maybe give them for good behaviour instead of playing frequently. 2) give newest skins "cooldown" so people who want them now have to buy it, not drop it 3) drop chance to get ultimate/legendary skin. No need for cuting chests down completely
Have they not looked at what Blizzard did to Overwatch when adding that "2" to it? - Dubious gameplay changes: 6v6 -> 5v5 for OW, Feat of Strength for LoL - Removal of lootboxes -Pushing into the battle pass so hard, and making sure F2P players get as little as possible But, it only somewhat worked for OW because it went from paid game to F2P. League is already free. That won't attract new whales, it'll just piss off the current playerbase.
streamer mode is good imo, not so sure for actual streamers but it's a good feature for casuals, knowing from the loading screen that I'm against Master-diamonds players with Silver-bronze team mates while also not being that high rank myself honestly makes me tilt from the get-go, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a "for fun" game mode such as urf...
It's a huge LIE. Nobody would pay for whatsapp malphite but it feels good when it comes out of a chest. They just could make hextech chests drop non-epic skins if the money was the issue. THE MANAGMENT IS BETRAYING TO BOTH RIOT AND PLAYERBASE
Voracious is either the dumbest buff or utterly pointless. I cant see a middle ground that allows it to be actually worth going for considering most the time its usually between that or baron if you managed to get enough kills. Why would i want a shitty GA if i can have baron, and if its too good then everyone runs down mid and wipes the turrets with little to no counterplay.
wait, if the playerbase is stable and money coming from the players are stable (assuming the same ppl who stays are the ones who actually are paying for the skins) then, the hextech chests has nothing to do with them losing money. Also, not being sustainable for league in long term is false, thats a Riot/investors issue, not a player issue if the first two sentences they said were to be true.
It’s dishonest to say their thinking makes no sense when they said it so clearly. Player behavior was drastically changed with hextech chest reducing the amount of skins purchased so they need get rid of it to make more money. Even if in the short term its not good in the long run people will buy more skins again.
How are the mastery visual changes not even out yet? They showed the redesign months ago lol. Is there a single intern working on those? If it's like that, then VGUs will be once a decade occurrence
the only reason they got rid of hextech chests is because of Arcane. They spent what, 250 million on arcane. For riot, it's a solid dent, and they're just trying to recoup their "losses". That's it. That's literally the only reason. Had they not made arcane, hextech chests would go nowhere.
they made swift game into nexusblitz but on the regular map man thats sad ... and they speak of hextech chests as if they ONLY gave skins (what about icons,wards,emotes...) and WHAT DOES THE LV UP CHESTS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ?
What pisses me off the most is that the quality of the skins has been significantly reduced lately, like if they want us to buy skins then release better skins, not cheap AI knockoffs
So they butchered the chests, the reduced the mythic essence too much, we don't get champion capsules and level honor orbs anymore, the quality of legendary skins isn't the sane anymore. So what's next? Paying a fee once a day i hop on league?
98% of the skins aren't the ones I even want. The main skins that I want are for Briar which I've already bought and that's it. I'm buying stupid gacha skins like sett or other garbage, it's the main reason I seriously stopped playing league as much. Seriously why are they still giving keys if there are no chests? Only whales and streamers like the gacha system, normal players hate it.
the rate at which you earned skins in the past wasn't that good in the 1st place. Hextech chest doesn't always drop a skin shards and to permanent a skin you need to sell other skin shards for orange essence. So a f2p has it hard to get a skin that he would like.
Removing free skins? Fine. But man I haven’t got a single decent champion shard in the whole season. If they say the game is F2P then at least give us campions ffs
I played this game since release I cannot imagine the time effort or money it would cost to unlock all of the champions now.... It seems like it would take so much longer than it took me back in the day. I remember grinding out the IP for all champions, that doesn't even seem possible now...... And yet shills will still defend riot for no reason.

you dont have to but you have to concider you are still playing a free to play game and (ofc its annoying) but things like gatcha or less free rewards are easy to imply mechanics to keep the game profitable and sustainable
@@CatgirlChloe ok but a gacha system isn't as expensive as riots and you may say "oh but you get sparks in the battle pass" yes you do. When you pay for the battle pass so you are paying $15 to get THREE pulls wow i could get 3 starbucks coffees with that than roll into a possible exalted or 15x mythic essence. I could play an actual gacha game and get more than that just playing the game. If there was free ways to get ancients sparks, like 5-8 a month for completing some really long mission that lasts for the month, than paying for the battle pass or paying for pulls it would make more sense and more acceptable but it is 100% a greed play.

Game is 15 years old and hasn't changed a bit in 15 years
Riot has fired half of his employees and is planning to ad AI To reduce some costs and we have gach system into the game and is getting worst
Idk how much a server cost to run a 15 year old game and a Clint that keep crashing
And it's geating cheapear pound per pound to run the servers, they're trying to juice us. dissapointing.
They killed SEA servers 2 weeks ago by merging 5 servers into 1 . Most of are getting 250 ping now. Fuck Riot
Not to mention players have been on the same map for 15 years yet they release thousands of skins which cost nothing to upkeep and still hide your purchases behind an RP purchase that leaves you with extra points, that in itself should be ILLEGAL
Its bs, they cut costs wherever possible to maximize profits, so the new ceo can buy another yacht. And its gonna get worse.
Multi-billion dollar company btw
The thing is, the reason I don't buy skin? Because I don't play Lux, Katarina, MF, Ezreal, Yasuo, Yone.
I play Hwei and Illaoi, illaoi of which see skins on a turnaround of once every two years, and Hwei doesn't even have a non-release skin yet.
So why would I put money in when the same champs constantly get the high effort fucking skins?
Whilst I get shitty Anima Bear Illaoi, when she works better as Primordian. Literally a squid/octopus got theme going on with her.
yeah unfortunately every champion I play only has ugly skins available. Usually the best skins are not able to be bought at all.
If they made the skins for unpopular champions cost more so they turn the same profit as the skins for popular champions, would you not scream about it?
If a Lux skin will sell probably a million copies, and a Hwei skin will sell 10 000 , would you pay 10x for a Hwei skin? No?
Can relate, though not to the same degree I used to. Bard and Ornn used to never get skins (my main and secondary respectively), I do really enjoy playing other less popular champs too, like old Asol and Rell (I miss her old kit)
Cosmic Illaoi looks pretty nice
@@BestoFriendoCassidy Sadly unpopular Champ's don't get skins because it's not that profitable.
last dev update had 4% dislikes, this has 80% dislikes.
oh so now they admitted the battle pass skins are shit
next step is admitting that removing hextech chest is just greed
they took free thing, moved them into paid battle pass, and thing from battle pass into a gacha, thx rito
battlepass is not even good.
1. Skin progression was completely random. You could spend 3 years playing the game and never see the skin you actually want. So there was still reasons to buy skins.
2. The only players with a large amount of skins are the people who have been playing for 5-6 years at least. Removing crafting doesn't incentivize veterans to spend more, and just screws over new players.
2. Champions like Ezreal, Lux, Ahri, Akali are clearly more favored than champions like A Sol or Illaoi. So a LOT of players have no reason to buy skins because their mains haven't gotten good skins for years.
3. Getting a cool skin for a champion you don't play encourages people to start engaging with champions outside of their pool, which helps keep the games fresh
You can't convince me that something was wrong with the old system unless they tell us that League of Legends is actually dying in all regions (it's been dying in NA for who knows how long) and it's not looking good for the future. Which, they will never do, obviously. And if League is actually dying, I don't there's anything that can solve that anytime soon.
These are good points.
I love how they try and make it sound like we are unreasonable with "We know some people will think this is just because we are greedy". Bro, you put yourself in our shoes. We see a skin people have been waiting years for come out as $500, then a gacha with glorified ultimate skins that costs $250 dollars, and the Mythic variants that are another $200, and then you are removing chests so that it is harder to get skins without spending money... You cannot convince me that this isn't entirely out of greed and riot NEEDS to do this to maintain Leagues long term health. I don't give a shit that they are doing it, it is just disgusting they are lying about it so that u feel bad and accept it... Also, WHERE IS MY FUCKING MYTHIC ESSENSE?????? How am I supposed to give u $20 for a pass when u can't even give me mythic essense to get an actually decent skin... oh wait... Mythic essense is locked behind the gacha... and chests..................... AND THEY ARE TAKING CHESTS AWAY??? Riot is taking chests away to incentivize people to spend money and roll on the gacha
ngl i forget about MYTHIC ESSENSE, they even rise up the prices from the skins
What they saying is an absolute joke, just based on the free to play experience, what can you earn, about 10 to 15 skins a year. You mean, less than 1% of all the skins on the game. Even with 5 years youll get just around 5-7% of it.... They just become greedy...
And nobody is playing enough to get that many skins anyways... or at least I wasn’t playing that much. Plus you’re probably not even getting the skins you want.
Why measure % of all skins in the game though? weird stat to use
@@Lkabssit wasn't a bad stat imo, puts it in perspective
I've been playing for 3 and a half years now and I'd say I haven't really spent much on lol. I've bought from shop maybe around 10 skins, but I've bought every bb since I started playing and I have 18% of the skins in the game. It was fun and the game had something to grind for. Ain't buying these new passes.
I've played enough Blizzard games to recognize that "make X more sustainable" just means "Bobby needs a new yacht"
Didn’t we lose twisted tree line and dominion as permanent modes, because we were supposed to get more permanent modes over time?
Surely someone who never bought skins before will now buy skins without hextech chests
I hope they keep running the game into the ground. The entirety of Riot Games deserves a reality check for how fucking blind they've been for years now.
They already have the battle pass AND gacha mechanics as monetization avenues. Removing chests so players earn less is just pure greediness.
Bruh, deleting the free option doesn't mean it will make me to buy skins
So TLDR; Don't buy our skins, Make Tencent Step in and layoff more employees
Sounds good Meddler.
Lmao Tencent alr recuding cost by layoffs + 250~500$ skins and its STILL not enough no! They gotta make it harder i guess.....whats next, blue essence emporium cost 2x more now?
But honestly dont fully blame it on the speaker like meddler (is it called spokesperson? Tryna learn english again)
Its the ones behind every decisions that are responsible and arent visible
Meddler looks like an amazing person and developer - the scumb@gs making the greedy decisions is most likely upper management, and they're just using Meddler and the rest of the dev team to hide from the criticism.
They want people to get the battlepass, which is priced at 1650 rp.... then they make it so that the closest RP pack you can get is 1450..... so you'd better take the NEXT 2800 or whatever RP pack if you want it... Rito please
Wtf ?!!?!?!? Do my ears fool me in here ? "The system was too beneficial for players so we decided to remove it lul" Is that what they have really said ? 500 dollars skins, RP prices constantly getting a increase every year and now this ? What kind of greed is this ?
EA taking notes in the corner
Ye you didnt actually listen to what they said gg
Its crazy it took this many years for people to catch on, remember when worlds events were free, you just played the game and got tokens. and then eventually they made it so you still got tokens, but had to pay for the battle pass to use them . lmao
@@Akynam brah don’t try to defend them, the game was extremely profitable even during 2 seasons ago when you used to get a lot of free hextech chests. They got greedy for money so they lowered the system to a max 3-4 chests a season. You’re telling me its destroying their profits giving someone 3-4 chests for free a year (you need to dismantle half of them cz their usually garbage for orange essence to upgrade to the skin you want (so technically you are only getting 1-2 skins maybe)
@@Akynam wash your mouth when you're done
“Buff amp tone” lmao
I can only hope the extra potential money they are gaining from removing chests gets pumped into things like the mmo or other shows like arcane, hextech chests have been in the game for ages and they have made profit every single year.
it's just greed, idk why they just won't say it

@@XFredon31 i saw a few comments of people that really thought it was fine using the face of base senna in her new skin, like riot needs these idiots to do whatever they want

liver failure
Youd get so drunk youd almost wanna play league again
Yes removing chests fckin sucks, but what I hated even more is the change to Mastery Levels, I had sooo much fun collecting mastery level 7 on many different champs and they killed it with their ugly ass mobile like garbage infinite scaling mastery levels that noone cares about
Yea there was nothing more satisfying then flashing your M7 when you solo kill them in counter matchup
Riot CEO salivating at the bonus this year.
Guys you don't get it, they need you to buy skins so they can pay their employees. Only they keep firing more and more of them and they keep asking for more and more money
How about instead of removing chests that give us dogshit 12 year old skins. START PUTTING COOL SHIT IN THE GAME. CUSTOM ANNOUNCER PACKS. MUSIC KITS. WAY COOLER CUSTOM WARDS. CUSTOM HUDS. PROFILE TRINKETS. PEOPLE WILL BUY IT. RIOT IS LITERALLY GRIEFING. Look how much fortnite scaled their economy. People want to spend money, they just aren't giving us cool shit to buy.
Try dota2, it has literally everything you've said and even more. You can even trade skins with other players on the market there
All riot has done is make me spend zero dollars this year at all. Didn't biy the pass, bought zero skins, so they change made them get less money from me.
Practically every F2P and gacha game has a generous system when it comes to giving away free currency/content. Back in the day a lot of mobile games gave away very little for free, but over the years the industry standard has been to give a lot of skins and content away to people who play the game, the reason this changed is because it normalizes skins. Look at clash of clans, even that game has a fucking battle pass now that gives free content. TFT and wild rift owned by riot have more generous systems than even league WITH hextech chests, let alone without them.
So both Riot themselves and every other game in the industry has become more generous over the years, riot themselves hopped on that trend with hextech chests, but now they decide to reverse that. So either everyone is wrong, and some dude just figured out some crazy wacky new strategy for skins in league. Or whoever is in charge of league monitization is a fucking idiot. The latter seems more likely. I'm not even mad about skins, it's a free to play game. It just seems like such a weird thing to go against the industry standard.
Can't wait for the 15.000 RP prestige galaxy slayer client skin. (that will constantly crash too, otherwise it would be p2w)
I feel like they held these two at gunpoint, forcing them to tell things they wanted to tell us
And to think that whoever thought of that probably got a fat bonus and a few pats on the back lmao
The internet is going to go mad 😂 they fked up
without the backlash they woudnt even have awnsered.
Not only did they kill hextech chests instead of nerfing them, they also nerfed the pass.
You get less skins and half of what you get is predetermined.
So yeah, they nerfed f2p but also the paid experience.
While also making it more expensive to run because now they have to come out with more new skins each pass.
The biggest problem is that they release so many skins, it makes it just not worth it to buy skins. Back in like season 8, I was hyped for sales and even made a list of my favorite skin for every champ with the goal of collecting them all one day, but they just kept releasing these "prestige" skins and many other skins for the same champion where it just became not worth it to spend a single dollar on skins because if you buy one for your favorite champion now, maybe 5 months later they will release a prestige skin or a legendary that's just better. Not to mention, most skins nowadays look so familiar or don't have anything special coming with them, so why would be bother buying them?
They could take the higher end skins out of hextech chests so you only get rare and legacy skins from chests and no future skins get added to the system. Then the only way to get the higher end skins would be from combining 3 skin shards. They could then make it so that the new skins aren't available from the reroll either if that's too much as well. Tweaking the system so that people get less or lower value skins is a better way to do it than removing it entirely and leaving people with their large key collections. I personally have 11 chests left and I don't know if I will use them since they're gone forever basically. I kind of just want to hold onto them as a reminder of what we lost.
the phrasing "pay for power isn't a STARTING point for us" is pretty worrying lol. not shutting it out for down the line
More like they discussed it as an option so much, that the script writer and those 2 clowns didn’t even find it strange anymore.
Otherwise no one would even think about putting that line into a dev video.
just gotta say this is what happened before vainglory was gone...
Rip vainglory
rip vainglory
Rip
Crazy idea, what if instead of coming in like a wrecking ball and removing chests + gateing mythic essence behind the gacha system + screwing up the battlepass essence rewards on release
You just...
1) Made it so that you could only earn skins below a low price tier, or only the oldest skins through chests.
2) the only way you can get skins of a higher price tier through loot is rerolling.
This would:
-Still create an engaging system of rewards for playing the game
-Dramatically reduce the amount of skin shard hording for dust, because players know they have to reroll skins they dont want forba chance at better skins
-Reduce the amount of skins people unlock a year, as there will be more rerolling
-Have minimal effect on the desire to purchase new skins, as older lower priced skins arent nearly as cool or high quality as more modern skins, and the chances of getting a skin permanent off a reroll, that you would have ever considered purchasing, for a champion you like playing is insanely low
Like honestly they made their best to not make their game outright dead after the removal of chests. They did it during the season swap, with map, new boss, swift play, AND they added URF after they noticed their players leaving.
BUT!!! You said yourself that you rewarded players for spending time in your game using those chests.
Guess what fkin happens if you remove them? I just won't play the game? Honestly it feels boring after you get accustomed to new season changes. And if you get like 50% win rate in ranked with no improvement, you just feel stuck in place with no way to progress and the game just feels meaningless. I feel empty whether I win or lose, as I just don't have that reward I used to have.
chests gave you meaning? buddyy yooure coping. if you bored of the gameplay, chest aint gon help u
Most Hextech Chests mostly only gave Champion Shards and rarely a Skin. I dont know how they rooted mind work but i reached 34 keys so far and i have no use for them anymore. Im gonna reach a world record on how much key i can collect and show them how stupid that idea is.
The real way to show them how stupid removing hextech chests are is by uninstalling league. Then uninstalling riot client.
chests were already nerfed to the ground lately tbf, you had something like what... 6 chests per season realistically?
They already made all the cheat drop icons wards and emotes. Barely any skins.riot shkuld be alhuakbared by someone rly
6 chest without a single skin shard, full emote lol
Btw the battlepasses are also straight up worse. Before you could farm them skins with the mythic essence but now they took that away plus the chests which just severs a players ability to get any skins at all.
I remember when chests were guaranteed skin shard or mythic gems.. good times.
unlike every other publicly traded company ever, these guys aren't about indefinite growth.
totally.
edit: they really went "we know you won't believe us, so whatever"
Feats of strength should be for both teams, as an achievement of performing enough. Make it 10 takedowns, 2 towers and 3 objectives. Both teams get them eventually, but it incentivizes playing, even if the enemy team has the sneakers already. The shoes aren't good, but low elo still cares too much about them. Giving the 3 kills early means teammates run it down.
I love that nemesis will just speak in lol terminology
I’d respect them more if they just said we want more money lmao.
if they remove hextech chests they should at least make all the epic skins 975 rp again no?
I said it in the past, I'm gonna say it again and PLEASE, AT LEAST READ IT AND CONSIDER WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY:
Riot does not care about people being happy or people being angry. It just so happens that USUALLY happy playerbases stick to the game more than angry ones. USUALLY.
In League, you have to factor addiction to the equation.
Right now, Riot is testing the addiction of its playerbase, with changes that would normally kill any other playerbase (no more hextech chests, WAY less in game currency, meaning that moving forward players who do not spend real money on the game will have to either play 18 hours a day or take YEARS to buy champions).
So, if you don't like those changes (and I'm not here to tell you what to like or dislike), there is only one thing to do: uninstall the client and stop playing for a few months. Find yourself another game. There are free to play games that are absolutely amazing right now, check marvel rivals for example. Or go play a single player game.
But if Riot does not see the playerbase SHRINKING, they are not going to care about your angry posts and they are even caring less about your angry reactions to youtubers videos.
If you really love this game and you don't want to see it ruined by mindless corporate greed, there is only one thing you can do to improve the situation: drop the game for a few months.
we've had chests for years and now they're gone for good
we never had skins more expensive than 35 euros
we've reached 500 euro with frequently released 200 euro skins.
what a downfall
i disagree with saying nerf the chest. its the same as what they implemented and the nerfing the chest. if they want to lessen the chance more. it will still get the players mad. i dont mind the chest being yoink out but the acquisition of champs should be fasten.
They intially stated gameplay changes like feats, Atakahn and roses are here to stay long term
So whats so noxus about this update then, if these things stay permanently anyway.
I assume the feats especially was noxus domination themed
they increase the blue shards from battle pass, meaning that you still get way less than previous xDDDDD
Clash is going from monthly to every 2 months. Like you can remove it at this point. Last time it was from once every 2 weeks to monthly for "better clarity timewise". Thats just absurd.
My issue is I wanted to play games faster, but they got rid of quick play and made swift play I JUST WANTED TO GET INTO GAMES.
I didn't need a whole ass NEW MODE that ends at 30 minutes from self destructing, what the fuck?
Went from clash being 2 times a month to 1 every 2 months. Nice job riot
It was 4 chests per month previously. Which btw, its not a 100% that you get a skin shard. So 3 weeks to reroll a skin that you probably won't play in months. Roughly 17-18 skins per year with the previous system. Then you also gut the orbs from battlepass, skins are terrible, they look 750-975 tier. No free rolls for the gacha, 5$-€ each? Are we crazy? 5$ for 5 mythic essence/icon !!???? Previous battlepass you could get 125 mythic essence for the prize of it. And hey, they did not warned us about all of this changes. They told us they were going to do something only, so we don't farm the mythics before they are gone forever. This company just keeps doing disgusting decissions and they still don't care at all about what we say
The droprate was 50% for skinshards and not 75% though.
With 26 shards per year it was more like 8 rerolls and 2 direct activations for a total of 10 skins per year.
@@Lukashoffmann94 yeah i was talking about the extreme where you get the perfect drops anyways, which is completely impossible
Funny thing about this....over 90% of the skins people get from chests get disenchanted to have the orange essence required for the few skins they actually want to keep. Their take on giving away too many skins is disingenuous AF. They were already not giving away that much.
Also, the people who don't BUY skins...are people who can't AFFORD to buy skins because of their real world situations. It has nothing to do with chests lmfao.
PS: Swiftplay is dumb. Just bring back Nexus Blitz.
Meddler does not look happy

They say it's not about making more profit, it's all about the security for the game long term = LOL (Ironic). This game is gradually going down hill. Personally been playing Heroes of The Storm again, recommend it as a great alternative to League. Happy gaming all!
The client now is a big fat ad
6:17 non-skin talk begins
Fast better solution: 1) skin shards more expensive/harder to obtain chcests. Maybe give them for good behaviour instead of playing frequently. 2) give newest skins "cooldown" so people who want them now have to buy it, not drop it 3) drop chance to get ultimate/legendary skin. No need for cuting chests down completely
Does this company not have a studio to make these in why are they doing it in the middle of the loud office, cutting the mic?!
Have they not looked at what Blizzard did to Overwatch when adding that "2" to it?
- Dubious gameplay changes: 6v6 -> 5v5 for OW, Feat of Strength for LoL
- Removal of lootboxes
-Pushing into the battle pass so hard, and making sure F2P players get as little as possible
But, it only somewhat worked for OW because it went from paid game to F2P. League is already free. That won't attract new whales, it'll just piss off the current playerbase.
streamer mode is good imo, not so sure for actual streamers but it's a good feature for casuals, knowing from the loading screen that I'm against Master-diamonds players with Silver-bronze team mates while also not being that high rank myself honestly makes me tilt from the get-go, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a "for fun" game mode such as urf...
It's a huge LIE. Nobody would pay for whatsapp malphite but it feels good when it comes out of a chest. They just could make hextech chests drop non-epic skins if the money was the issue. THE MANAGMENT IS BETRAYING TO BOTH RIOT AND PLAYERBASE
99% of the time you get something you don't even want anyway from the chest. Just say you're greedy and cut the BS.
Nemesis W take on removing hextech. They really didn't need to remove it.
they forgot about champion shards and other random shit that is in hextech chest
I don't even get the skins I want from the chests so I have to buy them before anyway lmao
Voracious is either the dumbest buff or utterly pointless. I cant see a middle ground that allows it to be actually worth going for considering most the time its usually between that or baron if you managed to get enough kills. Why would i want a shitty GA if i can have baron, and if its too good then everyone runs down mid and wipes the turrets with little to no counterplay.
Yo neme! keep smiling so we can have the hextech chest back!
BS word of the day: Sustainability
wait, if the playerbase is stable and money coming from the players are stable (assuming the same ppl who stays are the ones who actually are paying for the skins) then, the hextech chests has nothing to do with them losing money. Also, not being sustainable for league in long term is false, thats a Riot/investors issue, not a player issue if the first two sentences they said were to be true.
It’s dishonest to say their thinking makes no sense when they said it so clearly. Player behavior was drastically changed with hextech chest reducing the amount of skins purchased so they need get rid of it to make more money. Even if in the short term its not good in the long run people will buy more skins again.
How are the mastery visual changes not even out yet? They showed the redesign months ago lol. Is there a single intern working on those? If it's like that, then VGUs will be once a decade occurrence
the only reason they got rid of hextech chests is because of Arcane. They spent what, 250 million on arcane. For riot, it's a solid dent, and they're just trying to recoup their "losses". That's it. That's literally the only reason. Had they not made arcane, hextech chests would go nowhere.
they made swift game into nexusblitz but on the regular map
man thats sad ...
and they speak of hextech chests as if they ONLY gave skins (what about icons,wards,emotes...)
and WHAT DOES THE LV UP CHESTS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ?
What pisses me off the most is that the quality of the skins has been significantly reduced lately, like if they want us to buy skins then release better skins, not cheap AI knockoffs
So they butchered the chests, the reduced the mythic essence too much, we don't get champion capsules and level honor orbs anymore, the quality of legendary skins isn't the sane anymore. So what's next? Paying a fee once a day i hop on league?
Real question, where is the launcher remake ?
They werent getting enough money when hextech chests existed, now they get even less cause of their removal😂
Make chests a weekly reward and I'm pretty sure everyone wins.
Makes sense I love riot gotta support them
riot gaming keeps vindicating my hate for that abomination called arcane and all of its consequences
the removal of chests means that league is gonna fuond itself with skins now and the sanctuary and the 500usd skins are being removed right?
98% of the skins aren't the ones I even want. The main skins that I want are for Briar which I've already bought and that's it. I'm buying stupid gacha skins like sett or other garbage, it's the main reason I seriously stopped playing league as much. Seriously why are they still giving keys if there are no chests? Only whales and streamers like the gacha system, normal players hate it.
the rate at which you earned skins in the past wasn't that good in the 1st place. Hextech chest doesn't always drop a skin shards and to permanent a skin you need to sell other skin shards for orange essence. So a f2p has it hard to get a skin that he would like.
Removing free skins? Fine.
But man I haven’t got a single decent champion shard in the whole season. If they say the game is F2P then at least give us campions ffs
They want you to buy champs with rp lil bro
I played this game since release I cannot imagine the time effort or money it would cost to unlock all of the champions now.... It seems like it would take so much longer than it took me back in the day. I remember grinding out the IP for all champions, that doesn't even seem possible now...... And yet shills will still defend riot for no reason.
Does anyone knows what will be with orange essence, have a lot of that shit
WHERE ARE MY CHESTS !!!!!! ?????
