replying to @RossRBH_: How was the MM fixed? I often found it frustrating to queue with people playing for the first time and I had 95+ games
We have additional fixes coming in next week and next patch for long queues and more rapidly getting folks to the right spot. Most of the fixes so far have been around seeding, essentially starting people in better positions. Didn't have enough characters to elaborate in first post
replying to @marko_lover: Please add the option to swap champions with allies during the pick phase.
Not sure if this fix made the cuttoff for next patch, but if not next week the patch after
replying to @kolashiu: I feel like "i think this guy broke the rules" and "I got a bad experience playing with this person" are fundamentally different and not having this distinction is flooding the…
People already horrifically pollute signal in our systems - carries reliably get honored the most, bad players get reported for verbal abuse while not talking, etc Hard to imagine what good signal emerges from this pitch tbh
re: Did lolayltics change or the MM?
We didn't change anything about this. I asked the lolalytics folks and they said this often happens at ranked season transition patches and aren't sure why. I'm not sure why it's happening either 🤷 but people's ranks or mmrs didn't change in the ranked season swap over because we didn't reset over the boundary
replying to @File1043498: as long as both people understand the message word restrictions are useless
they seem quite useful here! certainly the OP seems far less affected than some people who received far more graphically-worded messages months and years ago

replying to @Katarina_Noxus_: No, it hasn’t mate. Don’t even know how you can proudly write that after the last screenshot that was sent to you.
? when the player hits the report button, the person who sent them that message will get suspended for a couple of weeks.
replying to @MrPumpkin1243: Do you think league would ever implement chat rewriting tech like roblox? Flaming is for the flamer ofc, so flamers get catharsis while the flamed players receive a sanitized…
I disagree with the premise. People who flame want other people to feel and react, otherwise they’d get just as much satisfaction out of typing and deleting.
replying to @Pallace10: I own a Dragon Fist Lee Sin, but unable to use it in Classic.... Any help?
Not all the skins or chromas are available for classic. As we add more if they have a matching set we'll unlock those as well.
replying to @Albaz231: Will rank mode come back in this?
Once you hit level 10 it switches to Summoners Journey aka Ranked mode
replying to @Zach_Sandstorm: what if i owned a skin thats a classic chroma but i already bought the chroma too. I own vandal jax already, and bought chroma for classic
That should have been auto refunded with the swap to the system

replying to @BoundariesInnit: Any plans to put bots into custom for Classic? Would be a really nice addition for people who play a lot of bot games or want to lab things without having to play a bunch of games…
Yes! Don't know if it made the cuttoff for next week, but should be the patch following if not

replying to @magnomaluco: Please, bring back all the tier 3 runes, I want to make a full pen rune, a full AP rune etc
There's a bunch returning next patch
replying to @auroraboreaiice: hey @drewlevin can we make a rule that insults have to make sense? this guy really wants me to open task manager.
I appreciate that our chat detections have reached the point of effectiveness where this person has chosen to take all of the bite out of their insult

replying to @Manco1lol: fair response and thank u for checking it out
o7 I think a potential future evolution of lobby hostaging detections could look at “weird shit people do after getting swap declined”, since I think there’s a flavor of that behavior that really only happens as retaliation for perceived pick hostaging
replying to @retro4214: game id: 5604087897 ign: gamingjunkie#GHOST locked rengar support, inted lvl 1 then ran top to grief top laner for rest of game, saying they cannot be banned and instead will get…
setting aside the humor in the rest of the chat log, yes, what your support typed in all chat at 2m is definitely your support griefing your team, ty
replying to @bonevoid: Game ID: 5615870382 @drewlevin likely only Nilah ran it hard enough to actually warrant a ban even though all 3 of them were disgusting this game
watched the entire nilah game, having trouble justifying a penalty here. basically all of their deaths were either getting dove or committing and eventually dying after getting pyke QE'd, with the first time that happened post-6 involving getting kalista's bounty.
replying to @straykhoa: I didn't know about that, since it goes way back; I've been playing LoL basically since 2009 and never had any issues with it I really had no idea. If I start leveling up a new…
no, because you would be the original owner of that account getting accounts from shady websites like smurfsbrasil is going to result in them getting banned eventually
replying to @Peaceful7Breeze: Last weekend there were repeating missions on live giving 1500 per every game you played, I'm assuming this is replacing those.
Those were 4 missions designed to help folks get quickly to a few full pages. This is 150 of top of the normal bonus and works for every win.
replying to @Soastii: Mr drew blevins when can I get a pic with you 🫶
let me know when you’re gonna be at an esports event in the US!
