Have you ever wondered what the drop rates are for the chests in League of Legends? Apparently, Riot Games wants you to know what you’re getting before you spend your money on these loot boxes as they’ve published the drop rates for both Hextech and Masterwork Chests in the game.
These chests can be earned by playing the game or through purchasing them directly.  Hextech Chests can be purchased for 125 RP, while Masterwork Chests can be purchased 165 RP (or in bundles).
Here’s what’s inside both the Hextech and Masterwork Chests:
Hextech Chest Drop Rates
- Skin Shard – 50%
- Champion Shard – 25%
- Emote Permanent – 10%
- Ward Skin Shard + 150 Bonus Orange Essence – 11.5%
- Summor Icon Shard + 150 Bonus Orange Essence 3.5%
- Gemstone – 3.6%
- Bonus Chest + Key – 10%
Riot says that outside of the Hextech exclusive skins, all skins have the same odds of dropping. Also, there are rules in place that protect players from “Bad Luck” scenarios. You aren’t able to open three chests in a row without dropping at least one skin shard.
Masterwork Chest Drop Rates
- Skin Shard – 70%
- 525 Orange Essence – 10%
- Emote Permanent – 10%
- Ward Skin Shard + 150 Bonus Orange Essence – 10%
- Gemstone – 3.6%
- Bonus Chest + Key – 10%
Riot says that all of the rules that govern Hextech Chests apply to Masterwork Chests and that includes the Bad Luck rules for opening three chests without dropping at least one skin shard.
Riot also says that they will be arming players will information regarding chests going forward, which includes any changes made to Hextech Chests or Masterwork Chests or any other paid chest types which include event-specific chests or capsules released going forward.
