Glad you're here!
Here's how you've all been progressing through Challenges in Riot and Garena regions since launch earlier this month!
⚙️ Iron: 40.24%
🔶 Bronze: 32.85%
🔘 Silver: 24.6%
🏅 Gold: 0.34%
❇️ Platinum: Literally just two of you. Congrats!
In 13.19 we're adding new ranked queue penalties for most offenses. Offenders must play remedial games in a non-ranked queue with good behavior. These queues include Blind Pick, Draft Pick, ARAM, and the Rotating Game Mode queue. More details to come in the 13.19 notes!
End of Game chat is now opt-in! You'll only see messages from other players in the post-game lobby if you click on the chat icon or enter a chat message 💬
Phroxzon is out this week, so we'll be stepping in for this Preview!
Small patch this time as we prepare for 13.10, which will be our biggest patch since season start. 13.9 focuses on lifting some champions that haven't felt great, including bigger changes for Neeko and Kayle.
Phroxzon went to something called "MSI" and is yet again not at work.
First follow up to our Midseason Patch! Tuning a bunch of outlier champions and systems for our initial patch and expect small tunings in following patches.
Sorry for the confusion and whiplash here, this was just intended to be placeholder for PBE.
They're going to be direct purchased for RP similar to Legendary skins(1820 RP) when they're live. We're also going to be doing a bundled discount for the two of them.
Hey everyone! In order to celebrate the release of some of the Star Guardians coming from Wild Rift to League, we went back and added icons and borders to the original Star Guardians that didn't get them on release. May you protect the Rift in style ✨
We've seen a lot of questions about how the new Emerald rank will look in the client, seeing as current live Platinum already has some green. We've actually made some adjustments to both Platinum and Emerald to make sure they both feel very visually distinct."
While we previously announced that we would end the year with Nexus Blitz, we’re not going to be able to bring it back at this time. Unfortunately pieces of the NB UI experience were broken by unrelated work on a different part of the game.
PSA: In patch 13.12 we've disabled the interaction between Echoes of Helia and Font of Life. Moving forward, Font of Life will no longer proc Echoes of Helia.
We are aware of a bug causing auto attacks to be cancelled while using dash abilities and are currently working on a fix. We will keep you all updated on our progress here
Some clarity for Redeemed SG Xayah and Rakan:
If you own the original SG skins of either Xayah and Rakan, you'll be able to buy the Redeemed version for 45% off, and vice versa if you own the Redeemed and want to buy the original version for the same champion.
🚨 Micropatch Alert!
Fixed a bug that caused Rek'Sai to not always knock up opponents when Unburrowing.
Fixed a bug that caused Lillia's E AoE to not deal damage.
We're aiming to start Ranked Season 2023 - Split 1 when Patch 13.1 launches in your region around these times, beginning 1/10! This is the same time as usual for patches. (Note: Deploy times may vary a bit.)
@LoLDev
Greetings Riot Dev Team!
I frequently get the impression, that some players have difficulties hitting the tiny Accept! button. So may I suggest an adjustment that could be easily implemented to solve the problem for these players:
Are you ready to fight it out on the Howling Abyss? Don't miss the return of ARAM Clash this weekend!
You can create your clash team in the client now so grab those 5 stacks and sign up!
🐄📣: Alistar is temporarily disabled in Arena while we fix a bug with his ult. Our thoughts and prayers are with Poppy players missing their favorite duo.
That Jhin skin at the end isn't a Mythic Chroma btw 👀
More info later this week, including an updated look with final effects.
Note: As with all Mythic-tier content he'll be purchasable for testing on PBE only. Actual acquisition method TBA!
🚨 Smolder micropatch nerf coming in hot!
-E bolts: 5 (+1 per 50 stacks) >>> 5 (+1 per 150 stacks)
-Fixed a bug that caused Smolder's stacks to round up when calculating number of E bolts
-R Cooldown: 120/110/100 >>> 140/130/120 seconds
Naafiri is live but is currently displaying as "temporarily disabled" in all game modes. This is not intended and we're looking into it. We'll let you know when its fixed!
🐛🛠️PSA Tryndamere players, we just a shipped a fix for a bug that caused his E hitbox to be significantly smaller than intended. Now you can go back to spinning and winning*
(*disclaimer, winning is not guaranteed)
🐛🛠️We just shipped a fix for a bug that was causing terrain and plants on Summoner's Rift to be missing and/or in the incorrect locations.
Loldev signing off on bug extermination duty (for now), enjoy the restored Rift! 🫡
It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year again, the End of Season rewards announcement! 🏆 All your triumph and heartbreak through the 2022 season will finally be rewarded. We’re either proud of you, or maybe next season is the one. Read more here
When they're live in 13.20 you'll be able to buy each of them for 1820 RP or both of them for 2002 RP.
They will be purchasable for a limited time until the end of the year directly for RP, after that we'll vault them, similar to them being available for a limited time in WR.
A quick-and-easy reference guide 🗒️ for all Preseason 2023 content coming to PBE over the next few weeks. Read about these changes and more here ➡️ (did someone say jungle pets 🐕 🐈 🦎 😍)

Hey folks, an update on Ivern 🧵: We heard Ivern player feedback that the last set of changes wasn't something they wanted, so we won't be shipping them. However, we've delayed universal buff sharing by half the season already, and want to get it out there (1/3)
Hiyo! I'm looking for feedback on the new Challenger Recall VFX! Hit me with all you've got. 🤘
Fun fact: this is the first time I work on something that I know I will never be able to acquire. 🥹
Heads up players, we're just shipped some mid-patch adjustments that will bring Milio's power down a notch. We're also working on resolving a few issues regarding rare instances where Milio and Illaoi can sometimes cause games to crash.
🐛🛠️We just shipped a fix for the Jax, Illaoi, and Jungle camp experience/item stacking bugs that were found earlier today. We appreciate your patience and may your jungle pets get every treat they rightfully deserve.
Next week's patch 11.18 will release a day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday in the US. Stay tuned for 11.18's initial patch preview in a few hours!
League patch schedule ➡️
Hey everyone, wanted to let you all know that patch 12.12 will be a 3-week-long patch with 12.13 going out on July 13. Check out the full 2022 patch note schedule here: 📝
Worlds is underway, and what better way to celebrate than battling it out on the Rift in our Worlds Clash tournament!
We're upping the ante with a 16-team bracket format with extra rewards. We also have new icons, banners, and trophies - sign up in the client now!
We are currently finishing up work on a fix for the biscuits mana regeneration bug.
It should be available within the next few hours, but for now whenever players select Biscuit Delivery the rune will be swapped with Future's Market.
Naafiri is live but is currently displaying as "temporarily disabled" in all game modes. This is not intended and we're looking into it. We'll let you know when its fixed!
Heads up players, we're experiencing a delay in patch 13.10 deploying for all regions. We expect the patch to deploy approximately 24 hours later than usual.
We are aware of a bug causing auto attacks to be cancelled while using dash abilities and are currently working on a fix. We will keep you all updated on our progress here
If you're ever wondered why we don't require all League devs to be top-ranked, give this article by
@Mortdog
(who leads design for our sibling team on
@TFT
) a read.
🏆
I hit challenger to prove I could do it. During the push, it made me worse at my job and almost burned me out.
So I wrote an article on how expecting devs to be high ranked at their games is not conducive to getting the best game to play. Read my full thoughts in this article.
A border/icon will be granted for each for free if you purchase Redeemed Xayah or Rakan.
Redeemed Xayah and Rakan skins are 1820 RP each.
If you own the respective originals they're 1001 RP each.
They will be available on the store until the end of the year.
@Spideraxe30
YES. It’s part of her power fantasy. She’s someone with a lot of money and power, someone who commands a lot of respect. Calling her just “Renata” would feel too familiar, too personal. She feels she deserves more respect than that.
We're aware that the biscuit delivery mana bug fix that came in the 13.6 micropatch has reintroduced the bug that caused undoing item purchases after getting a biscuit to decrease your maximum mana. We are currently working on a fix for this.
The recent ARAM updates were our priority for live modes work and we have plans for other areas both old and new. We will have a more detailed update on what caused the incident, as well as the future of modes for League early next year.
Since we made the original promise in 2021 to bring back NB, the League team lost some key people that would’ve been involved in this. Rehiring for roles and onboarding new members takes time that impacts respective projects.
🚨Micropatch Alert
-Fixed some input-buffering issues that resulted in abilities firing the wrong way and dash commands to become uncancelable
-Burst damage from AurelionSol's Q now correctly draws minion aggro
-Fixed a bug that allowed AurelionSol's Q to shoot through minions
I think the me scrambling to quickly tweet minutes after discovery hopefully shows some proof that this wasn't intended. 😅
It takes a lot more time and conversations to change the price of something in a storefront.
Since you’re all asking, here are the times Arena will be turning on in the client on December 7th PST
EUW, EUN, RU, TR: 8am PST
All other Riot Regions: 1pm PST
See you there!
Just wanted to give a heads up before these are live shortly. We're aware of a bug with how the Heartthrob Caitlyn and Heartache Vi splash is displaying right now. We're targeting a fix in the next few patches, so most regions will see the chalk hearts soon.
Attention dragon slayers!
In patch 13.17 we were planning to launch a new patience bar and updated AI for Drakes. Unfortunately, we've discovered a few issues that require us to delay this change.
For now Drake will remain unchanged, but we're aiming to have these ready 13.18!
We know this is not the news you were hoping for, as players have been asking for the return of NB, and we apologize for being unable to make that happen for right now.
Calling all future Gladiators! The Modes team will be having an AMA on r/leagueoflegends to answer all your burning questions about ⚔️Arena⚔️
We kick off in 40 minutes, make sure to stop by!
Curious about how the LoL Design Team is thinking about the current state and future direction of healing and Grievous Wounds? Here's a quick read written by
@RiotPhroxzon
talking about just that!
Quick Reminder! Patch 13.11 will be coming out a day later than usual due to a holiday.
Check out the full patch schedule for the rest of the year here:
