The LoL Patches thread

Even more AP Koggles nerfs lol

Also supposedly Tibbers, Morde's revenant and Yorick's clone can recieve commands by pressing R again in the same manner as Viktor's cloud.

Weekend patch incoming - patch in 2 1/2 hours (1 AM PST). Stay tuned

Summoners,

We will be bringing the servers down for maintenance starting at 1:00AM PDT with Ranked Queues being disabled at 11:30PM PDT. We estimate the downtime will last approximately 6 hours.

See you on the Fields of Justice when servers come back online! Thank you for your understanding and thank you for your patience.

The hell? Weekend patch? What kind of super secret surprises are they doing with this one!?

League of Legends Patch Notes - v1.0.0.141

Looks like no PFE yet (though there's the possibility that Riots go ninja and put in the PFE-related files in with this patch). 100th champion still MIA (probably still being worked on/getting finishing touches).

tl;dr

- Pets now have an alternate way to be controlled instead of solely using alt + right click. Also you can see what your pet is doing.
- Lots of QoL and bug fixes for a number of champions
- Artwork for a number of champions getting changed. Incoming Chinese artwork.
- Dodging ranked games doesn't make you lose ELO now, but will lengthen your queue time in exchange.
- Normal Draft: Premades now cannot get priority for having first picks/bans.

PvP.net v1.61

Players can now earn unlimited rewards per day in Co-op vs. AI. After 180 minutes, rewards continue to be earned at 75% the normal rate.
Custom games now have a separate pool of 120 daily reward minutes that is no longer shared with Co-op vs. AI.
Only applies to Summoners level 15+. Lower level Summoners earn unlimited rewards per day.
Updated the IP reward forumula for Co-op vs. AI:
Games of medium to long length will yield larger rewards
Games of short length will yield smaller rewards
On Summoner's Rift, "short" is generally less than 24 minutes
On The Crystal Scar, "short" is generally less than 12 minutes
Players should see an increase in IP reward per game so long as they aren't quickly steamrolling the bots
The Tournament Draft Custom Game mode will now allow Summoners to pause the game
Dodging a Ranked Game will no longer result in loss of Elo but the time before you can join any queue again has greatly increased
Adjusted the way Elo is handled for newly formed ranked teams; many new teams will see their Elo increase as a result.
Normal Draft Mode (Please note that these additions were incorrectly stated in the Darius patch notes)
Normal draft has changed so that premade groups are not prioritized over solo players
Solo players have a 20% chance of being the team captain with banning powers and first pick, regardless of the premade status of the rest of the team
If a solo player is not team captain, the player will be given a random slot in the pick order
If players group up before a game, their host absorbs all of their chances, i.e. the host of a 4-man premade has an 80% chance to be captain
A feedback sound now plays when spending mastery points

If this code doesn't work when you try it, you can safely assume that Riot has changed the cheat code and the old code will not work. Better get to it quick!

Players can now earn unlimited rewards per day in Co-op vs. AI. After 180 minutes, rewards continue to be earned at 75% the normal rate.

Wow. Incoming waves of people that level to 30 by only doing bot games.

Hi Summoners,

There is a lot of awesome stuff in the 1.61 patch and we were excited to get it out to you this weekend. Unfortunately, we ran into a really nasty bug where in certain cases, players couldn't log into their accounts.

Rather than risk any further issues, we are rolling back the patch to the Draven patch and restoring all of the players accounts to working order. No information is expected to be lost during the rollback, including all wins, losses, ELO changes, or other player actions made since the patch earlier today. Going forward, we've identified the root cause of the issue and will be including a fix before the 1.61 patch is deployed at a later date.

We currently estimate that the NA servers will be back online later tonight.

We sincerely apologize for the issues.

EVERYBODY GETTING REKT

Dat rollback

Damn Riot actually is competent in backing up data. Damn it all.

Unfortunately, we ran into a really nasty bug where in certain cases, players couldn't log into their accounts.

What the pineapple?
They even delayed the Draven patch by 24 hours BECAUSE of this issue, yet they didn't even fix it!?

EDIT: Draven patch got delayed 24 hours due to "Critical issues", which apparently includes being "locked out" of the client and unable to log in.

Funny enough, the topic's been deleted.

It wasn't a lockout this time. Accounts with the same email address were deleted.

Well, when they delayed patches in the past, people QQed and whined about them doing so, I even saw some comments on their forums saying that Riot Games is a more terrible game company than Nexon out of all of the terrible companies to make a comparison to. I wouldn't be too surprised if people threatened to commit suicide or to sue because of a patch delay.

Now just hope tonight's patch goes smoothly (its basically the same thing, but hopefully it'll be done without any problems/long-term outages).

People on Reddit claim their accounts are not working like last time.

Is this 3:48 queue to log in I'm getting related to this?

Ikr, it's taking an assload of time to long in. Not even going to bother for now.

PULSFIRe IS WHERE?

Seriously.
