The Winter has blessed the lands of Runeterra once more. Can Senna remember who she is and what she lost? Hwei, Lucian, Thresh, Sylas, Annie, Hecarim and Camille all too have been touched by the chilling cold of the Aurora. What shall these tales bring?

CHAMPION: HWEI

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS | CHAMPION REVEAL | HWEI

Release Skin: Winterblessed Hwei

The herald of Polaris, Hwei, waited in a despondent mood. When Senna and Hecarim found him among the world of man, a violent blizzard raged overhead. As herald, he used his brush to paint the Aurora across the skies, bringing the first snow. At Hecarim’s beckoning, he waved his brush, parting the clouds to reveal a barren sky. Where was the Aurora?

SKINS

Winterblessed Senna

1820RP

Senna woke in the dreamlike embrace of the Aurora. Clad in regal dress she didn’t recognize, she had no memory of how she got there, nor could she remember anything else, save for flashes of warmth: a love, lost in shadow. “Who am I?” she wondered.

Winterblessed Lucian

1350RP

Winterblessed Sylas

1350RP

The disgraced inventor, Sylas, had long harbored a grudge against Polaris and had prepared a special device for this occasion: gauntlets capable of absorbing the Aurora. He’d tested it on Hwei earlier, but now turned his focus to Polaris. Powerless to resist, Senna’s power was taken away, to be spread among Sylas, Camille, and Thresh.

Winterblessed Annie

1350RP

Senna set off to search for the Aurora, only to encounter the child, Annie, outside her estate. Her most cherished friend was her family’s pet bear, who recently died. Annie wished for Polaris to bring him back to life, but Senna refused, and instead presented the bear in toy form. “Loss is a part of life, but his memories will live inside this gift.”

Winterblessed Hecarim

1350RP

You are Polaris,” answered Hecarim. With a voice hardened by centuries of servitude, he explained that Senna was the living embodiment of the Aurora; he, its protector. As each year passed, he guarded the borders in Polaris’ absence while the new Winterblessed was chosen. It didn’t matter who she was before, he told her: she’d been called to service now.

Witnerblessed Thresh

1350RP

Thresh, Sylas, and Camille laughed as the Aurora surged within them, until the laughs turned to screams! The raw power of the Aurora was too much, killing the inventor and dancer and leaving only a corrupted Thresh behind. Believing himself to be the rightful new Polaris, he raised his weapon, ready to doom Senna… when suddenly, Lucian appeared!

Winterblessed Camille

1350RP

As Senna continued her search, the bitter Camille pursued her with simmering rage. She was an elegant but ruthless dancer who ran afoul of a previous Polaris and was punished for it, enough so to lose her legs. Wielding newly empowered limbs, she ambushed Senna and summoned her compatriots, Sylas and Thresh. The Aurora thieves had arrived.

Winterblessed Camille Prestige

2000 EVENT TOKENS

No one dances between the runway and the fashion house like Camille. She relishes letting her rivals mistake her cold demeanor for disinterest, only to be stomped into dust by her cutting edge designs. For this year’s Winter Gala, she aims to leave everyone with fashionable blessings, as long as they remember who they got them from.

Crystalis Motus Ashe

Ashe’s retreat from her northern homeland was not due to any invasion, but the Prismae Crystals. In such a harsh environment, their power was difficult to resist, leading many to lose their minds and bodies to its magic. Forced to find shelter in the south, Ashe now gathers an army to take back her home from the monsters that overrun it.

Season 2024 – Map Updates – Bug and Feedback Thread

Oh hi! I’m Riot Pehrek and looking to start a thread regarding updates to Summoner’s Rift for Season 2024! There have been a bit of changes to the base geography of the map. New paths to discover and new strategies to develop! With the new geography, the Infernal Rift has also been reworked, rewarding players with some flaming cinders.

Here’s a list of all that’s changing on the rift:

Base Map Geo Changes
- Multiple changes to the map’s geography
Infernal Rift Rework
- Infernal Cinders start spawning throughout the map
- Collecting a Cinder grants a temporary Move Speed bonus and slightly increases ability haste
- Collecting a bunch of Cinders gets you more Ability Haste, so be sure to get a bunch!
- You drop some of your Cinders on death
  - Those collected from dead players don’t grant the temporary Move Speed bonus
- No longer has geo changes around red and blue buff pits
Mountainous Rift Changes
- Removed the Mountainous wall near the Baron Pit

That’s it for Map Updates y’all get to see for Season 2024! Please feel free to drop your thoughts, feedback, and bug reports in the thread below! Thanks again and see you on the rift!

Season 2024 – Fist Bumps – Bug and Feedback Thread

There was an idea. Fist Bumps. What are Fist Bumps? Why, it is the act of bumping each other’s fists in a show of good sportsmanship. You can Fist Bump after a sick play, or maybe you prefer to Fist Bump when your teammate fumbles pretty badly to let them know “Hey, it was a good try”. But in the end, a reason to Fist Bump matters not. What matters most is the Fist Bump you give from the heart. Riot Pehrek and Riot Yasuna here to say, yes to Fist Bumps.

Fist Bumps is a new interactive emote we are introducing in Season 2024 where you and other members of your team can join in for a literal Fist Bump! Just press U to either start the fist bump, or to answer someone else’s and join in the fun. The more people that join in, the bigger the celebration moment with sparkles and fireworks and friendship! Other ways of joining in Fist Bumps are by simply clicking on the button next to your team’s portraits. Or maybe you prefer to use the chat by typing /gg or /wp.

As a note, the key to activate the fistbumps can also be rebound to whatever you’d like, and enemies cannot see your team’s fistbumps at all.

Okay that’s it, go spread the love on the rift and see you there!

Season 2024 – Support Quest Update – Bug and Feedback Thread

I’ve come to bargain… Riot Yasuna here this time to yammer about the updates to the support quest items that are coming as a part of Season Start 2024 gameplay changes. So buckle up, don’t touch those time stones, and let’s dive into what you can expect to find when you log in to the PBE.

Give me a Quest!
- Spectral Sickle, Spellthief’s Edge, Steel Shoulderguards, and Relic Shield have all been removed.
- In their place, you can find the new one-size-fits-all Support item: World Atlas
  - World Atlas Upgrades just like you would expect from previous support quest items.
Upgrades people, upgrades…
- At tier 3, a new bar will pop just above your inventory, displaying all 5 options for your support item upgrade.
- Note: the upgrade can happen in lane, you do not need to be at the shop.)
  - Unless you’re Ornn, Neeko, Kindred, or any other champion that has an extra bar in that same area. We’re working on that.

Go snuggle Dream Maker, if you’re in the northern hemisphere go sledding with Solstice Sleigh, or if you’re feeling really spicy try that one pick you just couldn’t make work in support with Bloodsong this time! We hope support mains will enjoy the updates, and some of you may start trying your hand at support for the first time. Thanks again and see you on the rift!

2024 – Items

Season 2024 – Item System Update – Bug and Feedback Thread

Ok, let’s do this one more time. My (in-game) name is Riot Pehrek. I am a QA engineer on League Champs and for the last few months, I’ve been helping SRT with season start. Pretty sure you know the rest. Found some bugs, measured quality bars, gave some feedback, found some more bugs, playtested a bit, found even more bugs, got beat up in playtests (bronze player), omg, so many bugs!

Jokes (or origin stories) aside, here to start a thread on the Item System Revamp coming to Season 2024! We are adding a bunch of new items to the game, removing the mythic item system, simplifying item tooltips, and also reworking Ornn to work with the new items!

Here’s a quick list of what’s going on:

Mythics No More
- Mythic item system is being removed
- Some of the previous Mythic items still remain in the game as Legendaries with some updates to them
Into the Itemverse
- Ok, we have a lot of items so I won’t list every single one of them here, but expect some updates to all classes in the game including the addition of new items and removal of others, but the biggest updates are around Mage, Assassin, and Fighter items
- Mages
  - Made 6 new items
  - Changed 6 existing items
  - We removed 6 items
- Fighters
  - Made 4 new items
  - Changed 14 existing items
  - We removed 4 items

Maximum Tooltip
- As mentioned in the spotlight, we are reformatting tooltips, but the work isn’t complete just yet.
- Those will come in over the course of PBE so we appreciate your patience, you should however still be able to read all of the tooltips for items both old, new, and reworked.
Ornn Masterwork Items Sage
- Ornn’s passive is currently being reworked to function with the new Item System
- Masterwork items will now use a preset list of upgradable items
  - Level 13 has Ornn upgrade his own item first
  - Following levels grants Ornn the ability to upgrade an ally’s item into a Masterwork item
  - Only works on allies if they have an upgradable item in their inventory
  - If Ornn or allies have multiple items that can turn into Masterwork items, the first item from the top left of the inventory will be the item prioritized into being upgraded
- There are some known issues with Ornn at the moment, but he’s still a work in progress, so please keep that in mind if using him on PBE.
  - Some Ornn item passives break after masterwork upgrade
  - Some Ornn items use indev names and icons
  - Some Ornn items that should upgrade just don’t

Ok, that’s all I have to talk about Items for now. For a list of items, check out the dev blog: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/2024-gameplay-preview/
