Hextech Crafting

Hextech Crafting is a gameplay reward system implemented by Riot Games Inc. for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics PC^[1], offering opportunities to obtain event content, skins, and champions.

It was released on the PBE on January 13, 2016. The first live testings were done on the Turkish server from patch V6.3 on February 10, 2016. The system launched in NA on patch V6.5 (March 15, 2016), then all the other servers on patch V6.6 (March 24, 2016).

Chest Set

Hextech Annie

By Mirross ^[9]

Hi all!

Everyone's favorite combo of sugar, spice, nice, and plenty of burning is getting a new skin as part of hextech crafting and loot. In order to secure appropriate testing for Hextech Annie, we're putting her and her hextechnically-augmented Tibbers on PBE early, but don't expect her to debut with the launch of hextech crafting and loot.

Featuring an all-new model, textures, animations and particle effects as well as new sounds, Hextech Annie is intended to be available exclusively through hextech crafting and the loot system by acquiring 10 gemstones either in normal chests and promotional chests through rare drops or by picking up special promo chest bundles (which'll guarantee a gemstone drop). Gemstones are rare loot drops that can be crafted into a chest and key bundle or saved to combine to craft Hextech Annie.

Promo chests will only be available at limited times and may have different content inside compared to normal chests. For testing on the PBE, we've unlocked Hextech Promo Chest bundles in the store so players can pick up Hextech Annie as soon as possible. During this test, buying one of the 10-chest bundles guarantees a gemstone in addition to the gemstones you can find in the chests themselves.

As we mentioned at the beginning, Hextech Annie won't be available at the launch of hextech crafting and loot. We'll test her on PBE before testing her release to live servers in Turkey (where we've been testing hextech crafting and loot for a little while now). When hextech crafting and loot debut on all live servers, Hextech Annie will follow shortly after.

Lastly, we're pretty sure everyone's used to this by now, but please keep in mind the promo chests have been heavily discounted for testing on PBE, and the drop rates of items in the chests may also change before we go live.

Leave your feedback on the skin or even the idea of a free, exclusive skin in hextech crafting below, and we'll see you on the PBE battlefields!

Hextech Capsule: Case Study

By Joy An^[10]

OPPORTUNITY SPACE

Hextech Chest was created when we launched the Hextech Crafting feature in 2016. It was well received, but not without a problem. We could not use the chest in Tencent region due to China's gambling regulation. We could not display any form of container that requires a key in China, so we had to create another form of loot mechanic for Tencent region, the portal.

Hextech Chest in Global region

Hextech Portal in Tencent region

MSI CAPSULE

During the MSI event of 2017, we saw an opportunity to introduce a new container that can be used in all regions without any constraints. After exploring many different concepts we have arrived at creating the Hextech Capsule.

We started off doing some sketches for different forms of container to make sure we are not missing an opportunity here. We agreed on the form of a capsule since it offered more flexibility and scalability for the future development of this container. After many iterations on the Capsule design, we've finalized the Hextech Capsule that was highly influenced by Hextech shape language that is unique to League of Legends.

Hextech Capsule is a magical device. It's made of solid materials containing magic, which will drop loot items when opened. In order to avoid breaking the gambling regulation in China, we kept the sides of the Capsule opened, as well as the top to make it look like it's not a container. There is an energy channeling on the bottom of the capsule that shoots lase like magic to make the capsule look contained so we can convince our players that it's a container.

SCALABILITY OF HEXTECH CAPSULE

Creative even themed Hextech capsules following the MSI capsule was not difficult since we have a very clear set of rules for creating these capsules. Infusing event themes into these capsules were rather exciting exercises that I went through to create its unique look with the fundamentals of the Hextech Capsule design.
