On Friday, Riot Games published the film “Check -in” about the current season and problems with monetization League of Legends. The film begins with the head of the league studio Andrea Van Roon and the executive producer Paul Bellezza discussing the current format of the season, which recently underwent a great change to be more focused on tradition. The couple also discusses hextech chests and skins, a controversial topic League of Legends Because of the recently costly gach mechanics and a sense of Fomo.
Hextech chests were awards that were distributed to players, and players could unlock them to earn free skins. Riot quietly removed Hextech chests, which raised the indignation of the fans. In this update of developers, Van Roon says that “free chests inadvertently became the main way to unlock the skin, and more and more players ended with significant skin collections for free.” Although he admits that it led to the “perfect experience of the player”, he says that “it was not balanced in the long term.”
While Hextech chests have disappeared, Riot intends to compensate for the loss of battle. The plan currently consists of “adding clearer visual effects and model changes” to the Battle Pass skin, which hope that the riots make them feel like a more valuable reward. These changes will not be present in season 1, ACT 2, but players can expect them in season 2.
Season 1 League of Legends It is founded in Noxus, a brutal and expansionist empire with secret magic illuminati behind the scenes. Until now, fans reacted well to more knowledge in the game and throwing attention to events such as the Black Rose Ball. Act 2 will bring more NOXUS content, including the Return of the Arena mode.
The novel map in the arena will take place in the Liqueta of Noxus, in which prisoners and gladiators are fighting for a chance for glory. Players who consistently compete in the arena, gain fame, a novel ranking system, and the renowned counting will appear to make a camera during matches.
After Noxus, we can expect that season 2 will be a “palate of a cleaning agent” with a much more carefree motive that can take us to a region such as Bandle City or Bilgewater. We will have to wait more for information about the release date of season 2 and the second half of the NOXian season.
