Starting in patch 13.2 we'll be testing a change to the surrender rules for Normals (Blind and Draft). Teams will be able to pass a surrender vote with 4/5 yes votes starting at 15 minutes. The early unanimous surrender will be removed.

- Ally 1 -> 5 will be changed to Krug, Gromp, Murk Wolf, Raptor, and Scuttle Crab for better champ select clarity in 12.23.
- In 13.19 we'll be making scoreboard pings for allies visible only to yourself so pinging things like "Kha'zix - Alive" 6x can no longer be used to harass teammates. We're maintaining the allied ping functionality so that you can still see exact allied ult & item cooldowns.
- Replying to @RiotAuberaunAlso, the way the bait ping is commonly being used today is unacceptable and we will be removing and replacing it the near future.
- Champion Select Anonymity is coming to PBE! It'll be enabled for Normal Draft Pick there, but only for Ranked Solo/Duo when it goes live.
- Oh hype it's on Reddit now so I can say LP gains and losses are going to increase in 13.4 (+/- 15 @ equilibrium to +/- 22 @ equilibrium)
- We've got some surrender updates hitting PBE going in for 13.16. Intention here is to make surrendering more of a team action rather than 1 person spamming FF every 3 minutes, along with other misc improvements. We plan on doing more of this type of systems work going forward.
- Replying to @RiotAuberaunOk this was a joke but actually: the only champion balance change coming in 14.1 is that Hwei is getting +3 armor.
- Forget to get it into the patch notes but the Masters+ MMR duo restriction will be off for the 13.14 ranked reset like it was at season start. It'll be back in 13.15.
- Replying to @RiotAuberaunAs a clarification - this is just for pinging allies, you can still ping enemies & enemy attributes on the scoreboard and they'll go through to your whole team.
- Following up on what I mentioned about high MMR moderation trials in NA: we're starting reviews this week. For these, reports matter, including champ select reports! Please use them, we need to know there's a problem to address it and we're not watching every stream or game.
- We're aiming to start Ranked Season 2023 - Split 1 around these times, when Patch 13.1 launches in your region, beginning 1/10. This is the same time as usual for patches. Deploy times can always vary a bit!
- Not sure if anyone else has already mentioned this but not displaying enemy team rank/mastery/honor in the loading screen is a bug that has a fix in for 12.23, not an intentional change
