The League of Legends World Championship is an exciting event, where the best teams on the planet come together to try and put on the greatest show for fans of the game. To attract even more spectators, including people who don't are not really interested in esports, Riot Games has decided to offer gifts to players who watch the world while being connected to their LoL account. The developers have prepared a system of guaranteed 'drops' which should allow you to obtain different cosmetics. Among them, exclusive Chroma designed in collaboration with the American brand Tiffany & Co , which manufactured the 2022 Worlds trophy.
Exclusive skins and chromas lootable by watching the Worlds
The distribution of Chromas should have started on October 16, the last day of the group stage. However, due to a combination of technical issues and confusion, most of the community was left without the promised reward. This is why Riot Games changed the entire reward distribution system and broke its golden rule. Instead of making a single distribution of each cosmetic, the drops will be repeated, in particular that of Akshan (with which there were bugs) allowing players who are just starting to watch the Wolds to recover all the cosmetics.
Riot Games insists that this measure was an exception and will not be repeated unless there are exceptional circumstances. It is therefore not to be expected to review this system in the years to come. They have shared the drop schedule with the community. Here's when the next rewards will be distributed (in metropolis time).
- Crystal Rose Zyra Chroma : October 23, 2022 from 10:55 p.m., during the first game of the quarter-final between DRX and EDward Gaming. This is the last day of this knockout phase.
- Crystal Rose Akshan Chroma : October 29, 2022 from 10:55 p.m., during the first game of the semi-final between JD Gaming and T1.
- Crystal Rose Swain Chroma : October 30, 2022 from 9:55 p.m., during the first game of the second semi-final.
-
Ward des Worlds 2022 : November 6 from 12:55 a.m., during the first game of the final.
Basically, you have to watch the first innings of all the matches to come.
In addition to these guaranteed rewards, there will be more drops in 2022 matches . The first time you get one will be a Worlds 2022 Pod, which will contain either a Hextech Chest with Key, an Esports Pod, or an exclusive Worlds 2022 Icon. , the chest being quite rare). These rewards can be obtained at any time, depending on the different actions of the professionals (steal objectives, quadra/triple kill, ace etc.). There will necessarily be a drop in case of pentakill.
- Note : All League of Legends players can receive Crystal Rose skin chromas, but only those who own the corresponding skins can use them. They will become available if the skin is purchased or obtained later.
