Guide for hextech crafting, loot and champion mastery systems in League

Hextech crafting is LoL reward system which allows players to get ingame content like champions or skins for free. LoL crafting system is directly connected with another ingame system – champion mastery. Thus we will expalin how this system works first (if you already know it – you can scroll down it do the hextech crafting part).

Before continue, we would recommend you our lol boost company.

WHAT IS CHAMPION MASTERY?

Champion mastery is the LoL system which determines your performance by a champion (in comparison with all other players who have played that champion on the same position) with the help of ingame grades: D, C, B, A and S (adittionaly you may gain “+” and “” to such rating which means that amount of possible grades you may gain is 15, from D- to S+). Grades are not permanent and just describe your performance in the specific game.

Depending on the grade you received for your ingame performance you will gain specific amount of the score points. The higher the grade the more score points you will get. By collecting such points you unlock new champion mastery tiers and cosmetic rewards which are depended on how far you went in the progress with the certain champion. Such progress is displayed by tiers (with associated awards).

REWARDS BY MASTERY TIERS

AMOUNT OF SCORE POINTS YOU NEED TO EARN TO LEVEL UP YOUR TIER

Before you will play at least one game with champion it will be considered as tier 0 or “unplayed” status. Thus to gain tier 1 you need to play at least one game with a champion.

  • Amount of points you need to level up tier 2: 1800
  • Amount of points you need to level up tier 3: 4200 or totally 6000 points
  • Amount of points you need to level up tier 4: 6600 or totally 12600 points
  • Amount of points you need to level up tier 5: 9000 or totally 21600 points

Usually it takes between 15 and 30 games to level up tier 5.

You will keep earning mastery points even after achievement tier 5. The total amount of points will be displayed in your profile below the champion portrait.

 

FACTORS AFFECTING THE AMOUNT OF SCORE POINTS GAIN

  1. Your ingame performance and respectively the grade you earned
  2. If your team won or lost
  3. Party bonus if you played a premade game with your friends:
    • 1 player: no bonus
    • 2 players: 2% bonus of earned score points
    • 3 players: 4% bonus of earned score points
    • 4 players: 6% bonus of earned score points
    • 5 players: 10% bonus of earned score points

 The final formula looks this way: CHAMPION MASTERY SCORE POINTS GAIN = GRADE (from D- to S+) + GAME OUTCOME (win or lose) + PARTY BONUS

 

LOL CHAMPION MASTERY SYSTEM APPLICABILITY

There are a few basic requirements to take a part in the LoL champion mastery system and get score points after game:

  • Summoner level of your account should be 5 or higher
  • There are only few game modes playing which you will gain score points: Blind Pick, Draft, Team builder and Ranked games on the Summoner’s Rift

 

CHAMPION MASTERY SYSTEM: DETAILS

  • Only you can see your grades, they are not visible to anyone else.
  • When giving out grades system compares your performance to all other players in your region. However matchmaking rating MMR (our guide about MMR, will be open in a new tab) or rank position are not considered. Thus you can be the “best” player in your region if you are bronze player, you just need to get as much S+ as possible.
  • System rates your performance depending on different game metrics which developers keep in a secret. This was made to any abuse of the system like ward spaming or AFK farming.

 

HEXTECH CRAFTING IN LoL

Hextech crafting is LoL reward system. The key element of this system are Mastery Chests and Keys. Keys unlock Mastery Chests at the Hextech Crafting Table, which contain “Loot”. Loot is a general term for Rare Gems, content-specific Shards, Champion Essence and Cosmetic Essence, with the possibility for multiple drops (there is no chance of Essence-only chests)).

HOW TO EARN MASTERY CHESTS

  1. You or your party maybe has to earn at least S- rank in the champion mastery system. This way you can earn up to 4 chests per month and only 1 chest per a champion.
  2. You can buy a chest in the ingame shop for 125 RP. Purchased chests won’t affect the limit of 4 chests you can gain through champion mastery system.

HOW TO EARN KEYS

  1. There is a chance to get a key with each matchmade win. The more people in your party the bigger is the chance to get a key.
  2. You can buy a key in the ingame shop for 125 RP.

CRAFTING BULK DISCOUNTS

You also can buy a pack of a key and chest for 195 RP and 5 keys + 5 chests for 975 RP.

    I love crafting system and its nice to see such system in league, but it pretty depends on farm and forcing you to play different champs, while i really love to play only a few..
