My lvl up chest :< where did it go?

[Rui]

I don't even remember its name anymore. The chest that you can open every 5 levels is apparently no longer in my inventory. On top of that, I no longer get any drops when leveling up. When did this happen? =(

"Changelog(drop system)

The current item drop system doesn't function well as a reward mechanism. It drops many items on players who aren't interested in them (the items are extremely common, or they're for a hero the player doesn't play), and in the process dilutes the value of the items. We'd like to get to a place where dramatically fewer uninteresting items enter the economy. We don't have a complete solution yet, so we're going to move forward step by step, taking feedback from you as we go.

- Item drops are now entirely time based instead of level based.
Drop list now includes full sets, treasures, bundles and Arcanas at a rare rate instead of frequently dropping common items"

As of October 31, 2014, presents are no longer available. If you have one left in your inventory, opening it will yield a rare or higher item.

Thank you. I am... speechless.

P.S. — It's quite true, though. And I could swear the awarding system wasn't exactly unbiased: it kept giving me items for carries. I rarely ever received 1 item for my favorite heroes: I never received any for Silencer or Rubick for example.

Wait.. I still have the level 10 present... so does this mean I won't be getting the death prophet announcer anymore? Damn I loved that announcer.

The announcer is still in the game?
You keep your items given by the chests, get unique items if you have a chest left.

Otherwise just buy it. http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Announcer: Death Prophet?l=english
It's currently at ~4$.
