League of Legends players are expressing strong disapproval following Riot Games' recent dev update regarding Hextech chest changes. The February 7 update saw Riot defending their decision to remove Hextech chests as free-to-earn loot rewards, claiming these changes would help maintain League as a sustainable free-to-play game.

The community's response has been overwhelmingly negative, with players drawing concerning parallels between Riot and Blizzard - a company whose reputation suffered significant damage due to similar decisions. "When you lose your goodwill with players, it's tough to get them back," noted one player in a trending Reddit thread.

Players are particularly frustrated by two recent developments:

• The removal of free Hextech chests, which provided free-to-play players access to otherwise unattainable skins
• The introduction of what many consider predatory practices with the exalted skin line

Community members warn that Riot risks losing player trust and support, with one player stating, "Companies get so greedy they forget that their money comes from... players. Once the players lose trust and turn against you, it's over."

Despite widespread criticism and persistent demands for the return of Hextech chests across all Riot's social platforms, the company appears to be maintaining its position on these controversial changes.
