League of Legends Reverses Course on Unpopular Changes

The Return of Hextech Chests

Riot acknowledged that recent changes weren't well-received, stating, "Recently, we’ve made a number of changes that didn’t hit the mark for everyone. We’ve been listening to your feedback, and it’s clear that there are areas where we need to adjust." The return of Hextech Chests was a key request: "It’s clear that for many of you, Hextech Chests weren’t just a way to get stuff, they were an important part of making your time in League feel rewarding. We didn’t fully grasp how much this mattered to you, and that led us to make changes that missed the mark."

Hextech Chests return in patch 25.05, with players earning up to 10 chests and keys per act. Eight chests are available through the free pass, and two more can be earned via the Honor system.

Exalted Mordekaiser Delayed, Further Fan Feedback Addressed

The upcoming Exalted Mordekaiser skin, along with the entire Exalted skin line, has been delayed. Riot explained, "We want to take more time to make sure it better delivers on its core fantasy." This means the planned release of an Exalted skin in every Act this year has been adjusted.

Responding to further player feedback, LoL will replace a non-Prestige skin with 25 Mythic Essence, addressing concerns about a shortage of Mythic Essence in the paid pass and the number of champions per seasonal theme.

To improve champion accessibility, the Blue Essence cost for all champions will be reduced by 50% in patch 25.05.

Finally, Clash's monthly schedule is reinstated, following previous announcements of reduced frequency. March will feature an ARURF Clash, followed by a regular SR Clash in April.

Blue Essence Emporium and Your Shop Return

Popular features, Your Shop and the Blue Essence Emporium, are returning! Your Shop is slated for patch 25.06, and the Emporium for 25.07.

Riot Games concluded, "We know getting League to the right place isn’t about just one set of changes. It’s about continually refining and improving the game in ways that make it better. We think today’s updates are an important step, and we’ll keep tracking how these changes feel, talking with all of you about how things are landing, and making adjustments."

This response highlights Riot Games' commitment to incorporating player feedback to improve the League of Legends experience. League of Legends is available for free on PC. Visit our League of Legends page for the latest news.
