Why is there no treasure chest in LOL? Revealing the truth that players are hotly discussing
Recently, the discussion about the "treasure box system" in the "League of Legends" (LOL) player community has soared. Many players are wondering why LOL does not launch a treasure chest mechanism like other games. This article will combine the hot topic data of the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon, and organize relevant structured data for reference.
1. Hot topic data on the entire network in the past 10 days
| Ranking | Topic keywords | Number of discussions (10,000) | Main platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LOL treasure chest system | 12.5 | Weibo, Tieba |
| 2 | How to get skin | 8.3 | Reddit, NGA |
| 3 | Pass value for money | 6.7 | Douyin, Bilibili |
| 4 | Loot system comparison | 5.2 | Zhihu, Hupu |
2. Why doesn’t LOL have a traditional treasure chest mechanism?
1.Business model differences: LOL adopts the "direct purchase + pass" mode instead of randomly opening boxes. According to player feedback, this model is more transparent and avoids the controversy of "bottomless pit of krypton gold".
2.legal circumvention: Many countries have strict regulations on game unboxing mechanisms (such as European PEGI ratings and Chinese Ministry of Culture regulations), and Riot chose a more compliant direct sales method of skins.
3.Loot system replacement:LOL achieves similar functions in the following ways:
| Function | illustrate | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Hextech Treasure Chest | Chance to get skin fragments | Game rewards/activities |
| Essence of myth | Redeem limited skin | Pass/Mall |
3. Players’ opinions are polarized
1.Supporters: Believing that the current system is fairer, the anchor "PDD" said in the live broadcast: "It is easy to get confused when opening the box, and clearly marked prices are more friendly to the student party."
2.Opposition: Tieba user "Light of Ionia" complained: "Without the surprise of unboxing, Liver Pass is like going to work."
4. Comparative data of similar games
| Game name | Treasure chest system | player satisfaction |
|---|---|---|
| CS:GO | Weapon box (requires key) | 42% |
| DOTA2 | Battle Pass Chest | 67% |
| LOL | No traditional treasure chest | 78% |
5. Analysis of future possibilities
1.Limited time event trial: In the 2023 "Soul Lotus" event, LOL tested the lottery format, but it was not normalized.
2.Compliance improvements: For example, the introduction of a "guaranteed mechanism" or a "preview treasure box" is similar to the prayer system of "Genshin Impact".
3.Player voting decisions: According to Riot’s official questionnaire, only 31% of players want to join the traditional box opening system.
Conclusion:LOL’s business model choice reflects the design concept of “player experience first”. Although there are no traditional treasure chests, the fun of collecting is still retained through the loot system, event rewards, etc. Whether there will be changes in the future depends on the development of industry policies and player preferences.
