Have a few questions with out the chests work? Here are a few FAQ from the Riot Support page to help you in your quest for the perfect cosmetic item:

Why do chests contain items I already own?

• Chests are random, and can contain content you may already own.
• We’re looking at features to allow you to use the duplicate shards in various ways. For now, you can re-roll shards to guarantee a piece of content you don’t own, or you can disenchant already-owned shards to help you create permanent content from shards you don’t own.

Can I earn content that just got added to the store?

• Yes! However, it takes a bit for new content to get added to the Hextech system, so we recommend waiting at least a day after a new item hits the store before trying to roll for anything new.

Why am I not earning chests?
There are a few reasons you might not earn a chest:

• If you’re playing a champion you don’t own, you can’t earn a chest.
  
  • If you do earn an S rank on a champion you don’t own, allies in your premade group may still earn a chest through your achievement.
• You may have already earned a chest with the champion you’re playing.
• You can see which champions you’ve earned chests with by hovering over their portraits in the Champions tab of your profile. When you earn a chest through a premade ally’s S rank, the chest counts as though you earned it on the champion you played in that game.
• You may have reached the chest limit for the week.
• Your profile has four chest slots, and once you’ve filled them up you must wait until another chest becomes available. One chest slot opens up per week; you can see how many more days you’ll have to wait in your profile.
• You can’t earn a chest in a game if you leave that game.
• You may have been punished by a behavior system recently, meaning you won’t be able to earn rewards from Hextech Crafting. More on that below.
