LOL's New Year triple treats: free skin chests, Akali's secret room, and the Auspicious Dragon treasure!

Before we know it, we've stepped from 2025 into the brand new year of 2026. The heroes, skins, and gameplay modes introduced in 2025 will soon become memories. Especially the competitive scene's pursuits in 2025 are behind us, and now a fresh year begins with new challenges to chase! Regardless of the past, we must set new goals for the coming year, always keep a learning mindset, and move forward step by step — that's the true path! Luckily, the Hextech Mayhem event accompanies us through the New Year's moment, which is incredibly delightful. I consider it the most outstanding mode of 2025, bringing many players back and keeping them engaged. I hope Hextech Mayhem lasts forever and stays with everyone! At this New Year celebration, League of Legends China also prepared multiple rewards, with the first and best being the New Year Skin Chest, granting a free skin you don’t own!

This offer is simply fantastic: during the event, everyone who completes a Hextech Mayhem match can claim a skin they don’t already have. Over the years, the skin pool has been cleaned up, no longer containing dirty or rusty skins, mostly offering fresh and classic great skins! I personally got the Courageous Ryze skin — has anyone else received a great one? For those who haven’t yet, don’t forget: just one Hextech Mayhem game is enough to qualify. Of course, there’s a side effect — you’ll want to keep playing again and again. It’s really hard to stop because it’s so much fun. Losing means your draw was unlucky; winning means a thrilling match!

The second and third rewards are the Auspicious Dragon treasure draw and Akali’s mysterious shop. The treasure draw is extremely cost-effective, unlocking a skin you don’t own for just six yuan with a 100% success rate! Akali’s mysterious shop is a long-standing event many players wait for to grab discounted skins. Perfect timing for the New Year to treat yourself! I personally got Western Phantom Lucian and Death Lotus Zed, two of the most popular skins. What did you get?
