    For anyone wondering - We've made some updates to Gragas’ ability names to remove "(Drunken)" in order to stay compliant with age ratings across various regions. Feel free to pour one out for him if desired, but don't worry, he still enjoys his brews even if he's being very

    Just since it's getting missed a bit: This is up to 10 per free pass in each act, so up to 60 per year (not 10 per year as we're seeing some people assume)

    Hey folks, WASD should be enabled on PBE tomorrow, so we wanted to share a bit more on how we’re thinking about it based on recent conversations. We believe WASD can help many new players fall in love with League the same way we all did, which is why we see it as an important

    Hey folks— we did some more digging into the Gragas ability name changes. Looks like we can go lighter on the adjustments overall while still being EU compliant. We do need to update the ability description (remove "drunkenly empowered" and adjust "guzzles down brew"). We also

    Hey all. Given changes to League levelling rewards post 30 we'll be refunding RP spent on XP Boosts for players who had them active at the start of the Season and are in regions that support refunds. That will happen a couple of days after Patch 25.S1.S2 launches

    First patch of the year for LoL, with all the start of season changes, went live yesterday. We're still digging into how everything's landing, some initial notes though: 1 - Unlocking new champions via blue essence wasn't meant to get harder. Digging in to understand whether

    Update on LLs and ARAM - we're putting any changes on hold for now. Based off your feedback we agree our current approach isn't hitting the mark. Will reassess and get back to you folks with an alternative or modified approach for further discussion.

    Hey folks, I wanted to give an update on recent attacks on players’ streams in Korea. These are really frustrating for everyone and we completely understand why T1 has shut down streams for now. We’re working closely with them to create a safe playing and streaming environment.
