In this Dev Update Paul Bellezza and Andrei van Roon explain why we removed free Hextech Chests and talk more about the thinking behind the change. They also talk about some improvements to the Battle Pass and skins, as well as an update on Swiftplay and information about Arena.

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Didn't watch, don't care about the reason why you removed them, bring them back

Experience the bot completely reimagined. 🌟 A completely new design, reminders for match prediction, notifications when games are interrupted, continued or postponed. New commands like /features and /standings and new languages and much more.

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler didnt ask

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Didn't watch, scare a Riot dev.

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Yeah removing Hextech Chests will deffinitely not backfire as people, like me, have quit League of Legends for good, talking about sustainable in the long run 💀

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler I’ve been playing league since 2017 and this is embarrassing, like??? You couldn’t get money from the way it was????

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Summary: "We don't like that you get expensive skins for free, so now we are giving you cheap skins if you buy the pass, and you have to buy the expensive ones yourself"

Riot - We know players like to receive skins by spending time playing our game Also Riot - We are removing the free skins from players that spend time playing our game ------------------------------------- Riot - People should buy skins that they think are great and they want to. Also Riot - There is a Gacha System that u need to spend A LOT of money to TRY to get what you want, and you can miss this forever, and plus: you don't have even a free shard skin to try to unlock any other skin... ------------------------------------- @RiotMeddler @RiotPabro do you REALLY, like... REAAAALLLLYYYYY think that was a good call? y'all are already killing your game day a day, and all of us are seeing it, plz, I know you need our money and stuffs, but remember that players NEED TO FEEL GOOD AND RESPECTED to play a game, and that is not what is looking like...

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Oh boy, can't wait to listen to Riot's "we fucked you in the ass, and here's why it's actually a good thing" trademark

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Back at the end of last year you told us that you were "increasing the amount of free skins for the average player ". Now you just admitted that that number is just lower than before (and a lot). You are such disgusting gaslighters. I've actually uninstalled for the first time.

@RiotPabro @RiotMeddler Skins are the primary way for league to pay it's bills? You won't have bills to pay without players in league.
