My Thoughts About The Removal Of Hextech Chests In League of Legends
I discuss how this League of Legends Hextech Chests change affects player rewards, progression, and the overall experience, sharing my personal take on whether this move benefits or harms the community.
Not long ago, League of Legends officially announced the removal of Hextech chests, meaning that players can no longer obtain chests through various channels.
The official explanation is that this is to ensure the sustainability of the game and prevent players from relying too much on chests as the only way to obtain skins, which in turn affects the game's revenue. Although the official does not intend to restore it to the version before the appearance of Hextech chests, it is obvious that the difficulty of obtaining skins has substantially increased.
League of Legends has had many version changes since its release in 2009. After years of accumulation and precipitation, it has become one of the best MOBA games in the current gaming industry. As a free game, LOL has a larger number of players. At the same time, League of Legends operates the game by selling skins and heroes, allowing players to obtain them through transactions with real money.
With the birth of Hextech chests, players can obtain Hextech chests through upgrades or some other methods. By unlocking these chests, players can obtain various skins. "Obviously, this is not a sustainable business model for a reasonable game," the official said.
The official also said that Hextech chests have become the main way for players to get skins, which has also made players have no desire to buy new skins, resulting in a loss of game profits. In order to stop this situation, Hextech chests have to be deleted.
Although this measure has not been implemented yet, it is obvious that it has a huge impact on players. Although the official said that this will not cause the game to become the situation before the arrival of Hextech chests, there is no clear statement of new measures and new ways to get free skins.
Considering the current situation of electronic games and the amount of investment required for game development, this official move is also reasonable. However, this move will also greatly undermine the interests of players. If you have any opinions on this, you are also welcome to leave a message.
