The Mythic Content Overhaul

We're updating the systems surrounding League's rare and exclusive content this year!

Hot on the heels of our season start video announcement, here'due south a walkthrough of the mythic content changes coming to League'south rare and exclusive content in 2022. This update rolls out in three phases:

Phase i

Mythic Essence

Gemstones and Prestige Points are combining into a single new currency that never expires. When the update happens, your remaining Gemstones will automatically convert to Mythic Essence at a one-to-x ratio, but your Prestige Points will disappear. Make certain to spend them in the Final Prestige Shop, which is open now! Subsequently the conversion, Mythic Essence will replace Gemstones and Prestige Points everywhere those two currencies appeared as loot or rewards. Mythic Essence drop rates from Masterwork Chests volition temporarily increment to offset the removal of Prestige Points from bundles.

Mythic Essence

Mythic Store, Prestige Unvaults & Mythic Thematics

Nosotros're likewise replacing the Gemstone shop with a Mythic Shop that features rotating content. The content on offer includes:

Unvaulted Prestige skins: Prestige skins released at to the lowest degree 1 year ago are eligible for unvaulting in the Mythic shop. Two Prestiges will be unvaulted each month. Here's how Mythic Essence prices will be adamant:

Commencement unvault: 125 ME
2d unvault: 150 ME (2019 Prestiges start here)
3rd+ unvault: 200 ME (2018 Prestiges start here)

2018 and 2019 Prestiges first at college tiers to respect the college exclusivity and difficulty of obtaining them, compared to newer Prestiges. In addition, when those Prestiges are unvaulted, original owners will receive exclusive modified versions of the skins in recognition of their investment. These modified versions won't be available for Mythic Essence. The cutoff for OG buying volition be one patch before the Mythic Essence transition. This appointment will exist messaged in the patch notes.

1000/DA Evelynn Prestige Edition (2022) skin concept

We're kicking things off with a bang by doing the first three unvaults all at in one case, meaning half dozen Prestige skins volition be unvaulted for 3 months:

Thousand/DA Kai'Sa Prestige Edition (200 ME, original owners get a special edition)
Projection: Irelia Prestige Edition (150 ME, original owners get a special edition)
Pulsefire Thresh Prestige Edition (150 ME, original owners get a special edition)
Arcanist Zoe Prestige Edition (125 ME)
Spirit Blossom Teemo Prestige Edition (125 ME)
Boxing Queen Diana Prestige Edition (125 ME)

Mythic thematic skins: Like old Prestige skins, erstwhile Gemstone skins will also exist unvaulted on a two-at-a-time rotation in the Mythic Shop, only will rotate every three months instead of each month. They'll debut at 100 ME for their first unvault, and cost 125 ME on subsequent returns. The first unvaults will be Hextech Annie and Hextech Amumu.

Additionally, nosotros're retiring the Hextech thematic and introducing new seasonal thematics for Mythic Essence-exclusive skins. The 2022 Mythic thematic is Ashen Knights! A new Mythic thematic skin debuts at the beginning of each three-month rotation and rotates out at the cease. These skins cost 100 ME on debut, and will cost 125 ME when they're unvaulted down the road..

Cadaverous Knights Pyke concept

Seasonal ward & emote: A rotating Mythic thematic ward skin will exist available each yr for fifty ME, as well as a Mythic thematic emote for 25 ME.

Other stuff: Yous'll always be able to spend a little Mythic Essence on a Random Skin Shard (ten ME), 50 Orange Essence (1 ME), or 150 Blue Essence (1 ME)

Reroll & Drib Exclusivity

When new Prestige and Mythic skins debut, they'll exist unavailable in loot pools, including rerolls, until their debut period ends (ex. when Ashen Knight Pyke leaves the Mythic Shop, or when a new Event Prestige skin'due south tokens elapse). Subsequently that, they'll exist eligible for loot drops and rerolls, just won't grant the edge or summoner icon they initially launched with.

Stage two

Prestige 2.0

Starting in stage 2, Prestige skins are leveling up. Nosotros're experimenting with a new thematic layer to Prestiges to help them stand up autonomously and feel similar more than gilded chromas. Prestige 2.0 skins are high-fashion reimaginings of the base thematic, as if information technology were the theme for a carmine carpet or runway consequence. Along with this new identity, we're amping upward the value that Prestiges offer, including brand new splash art!

Showcase Milestones

Boodle showcase events, like 2021'southward PROJECT or Battle Academia, are switching from Prestige Point bundles to a rewards rails that progresses every bit you open result capsules. The skins that would've been released for Prestige Points at present debut in the Mythic Store for 125 ME and get into the vault once the Showcase ends.

Showcase milestone rewards rails

A showcase milestone rail is designed to match the same amount of loot y'all would've had to purchase to earn 100 Prestige Points through capsule bundles in 2021, just with a bunch of extra loot rewards attached. Nosotros'll share more info on Showcase rewards tracks when they launch!

Masterwork Milestones

Masterwork milestone rewards track

Masterwork milestones are an infinitely repeatable rewards track for opening Masterwork chests. ALL Masterwork chests count toward this track no matter how y'all obtained them (ex. mission rewards), non just ones you purchase straight. Nosotros're currently planning on the following rewards.

five Chests: 5 Mythic Essence and whatsoever tier skin shard
10 Chests: v Mythic Essence
15 Chests: five Mythic Essence and 975+ skin shard
twenty Chests: 5 Mythic Essence
25 Chests: 5 Mythic essence and 1350+ pare shard

Since each breast roughly corresponds to one Mythic Essence, milestone track rewards from purchasing bundles provide slightly less Mythic Essence than the Prestige Point comparables (5 ME rather than 6 PP for the five breast package; 10+1 ME rather than 13 PP for the x+ane breast bundle).

Phase 3

Upshot Pass Evolved

Event Pass Evolved rewards track

The concluding footstep of the Mythic Content Overhaul is an update to League's event passes, hybridizing the existing Token Shop organisation and more traditional battle passes. Earn XP from playing games and completing missions, and unlock tokens and other rewards as you level through the pass. All the rewards spread across different result mission types today are consolidating into a fifty-level rewards lineup with paid and free tracks:

Gratuitous issue missions: Converted to gratuitous pass track rewards. Still includes 300 full tokens and an Event Orb, among other content. You lot'll earn all free rewards by level 30.
Pass token bank missions: Converted to paid pass track rewards at each level. After all 50 effect pass levels, there's an infinitely repeatable "51st" level for pass holders that grants tokens.
Pass milestone missions: Converted to paid laissez passer rails rewards.
Laissez passer weekly wins missions: Now grant XP instead of tokens. Stacks with First Win of the Solar day missions.
(NEW) Gratuitous Beginning Win of the Mean solar day missions: Earn laissez passer XP for your kickoff win (or 3 played matches) each day. Like the standard First Win mission, this is a utilise-it-or-lose-information technology model; you tin't accrue multiple First Win missions.

Like today, you lot'll spend the tokens you earn in a Token Store, and once the new Event Pass launches, nosotros'll suit tuning as needed to ensure it doesn't take longer to grind 2000 tokens than it does now. The new shop has a few usability improvements, like category tags (the icons on the left of the image above!)

When League'southward outcome pass evolves, nosotros're not increasing its toll. Event passes will still cost 1650 RP and include four Upshot Orbs and 200 Event Tokens. We're also keeping the 2650 RP bundle that includes the base of operations skin of the event's Prestige, its border, and its icon.

Coming in 2022

Nosotros're excited to finally bring these updates to you this yr! Nosotros'll permit you know equally each phase releases, so keep an centre out every bit the changes get ready for launch.
