Best Answer
To earn free loot, you have to get skin, ward skin, or champion permanents, however they can be earned in several different ways. You can get chests when someone on your team earns any "S" rating in a game (up to 4 a month, and each champion can only give one chest per season). So, if you get an "S" rank with Vladimir and get a chest from it, you will not be able to get another chest if you get an "S" rating with Vladimir again. To open the chests, you have to win games. By winning games, you have a chance to get keys (you have a higher chance/find more if you play with friends).
When you unlock a chest, it will give you a various assortment of shards and permanents that you can use to unlock skins, champions, or ward skins. Essence can be used to upgrade shards to permanents which will then unlock that skin/champion/ward skin permanently. Alternatively, you can redeem the shards to temporarily unlock a skin (7 days), reroll 3 shards or permanents or combination of the two for a different permanent that you do not already own, or disenchant them to gain essence.
- Redeeming unlocks skins/champions/ward skins
- Rerolling allows you to combine shards/permanents to make a different permanent
- Disenchanting converts permanents and shards to essence
- Upgrading takes essence and makes a shard into a permanent which you can redeem
