As far as grubs count for the first 3 epic monsters slain, you need all 3 grubs for one stack, so one grub gives 0 stacks, even 2 grubs from first spawn and one grub from second spawn would give 0 stacks, but 3 grubs from one spawn is a stack+2 dragons for example would be enough for the feat

First blood and first turret no longer give bonus gold, first blood is 300g, first turret is 250g, all it does now is count for the feats

The stats on the free boot upgrades are meant to be 150g worth of stats, he considers them worse than the current bonus gold for FB and first turret

The support item counts as a legendary for the tier 3s(you need 2 legendaries to upgrade to tier 3s), so if you’re pyke and you have bloodsong and umbral, you can buy the T3 upgrade

The tier 3 upgrades are meant to be more efficient than components but less efficient than legendaries, so if you have 3k gold you should buy cosmic drive or black cleaver, but if you hav...

The pen boots actually give less than 750g worth of stats according to the math but play testers are super psyched about them “OMG SO OP”.

Sorc shoes give 12 mpen, upgraded for 750 gold they give +7mpen and +10%Mpen.

46.15 * 10+7 * 46.67=788g worth of stats.

Unless they plan on buffing regular sorc shoes too

I wonder how long ago this has been in the works.

Honor was always meant to be a "good behavior score" and not an activity tracker. That's the biggest weakness of the current Honor system. That's also the biggest thing we're going to change with this update. Your new Honor level is going to be based on a constant evaluative score that looks at your interactions with teammates, honor votes, active penalties, and a lot more behind the scenes from your most recent games. Once changes are live, playing more won't help you get to Honor 5, unless you're exhibiting the right behavior

Well that will be interesting at the start of the season, with most being reset back to Honor Level 2...

Now that I think about it. Can riot buff Sion without fearing Baus? Is Sion Baus-jailed similar to other champs being pro-jailed?

Please pull the graves nerfs. Not because they arent justified or good for the game, but because i personally want graves to be OP forever.

I can believe it ebbs and flows and I can appreciate that the Riot entity has undertaken mammoth tasks in technology, building the RSO system and transforming the original PvP.net that you worked on into a modern, multi game system.

However, and this is where I believe we have different fundamental thoughts on this,

Riot needs to crack down on account sharing, individuals with multiple accounts and gamifying the match making system.

Riot has spent more time addressing the symptoms (e.g dodge and op.gg warriors) rather than the core of the problem, that unlike valve or blizzard Riot isn't millitant on punishing rule breakers. Nor does it go strong enough in the direction of providing players with an environment that encourages engagement and improvement with the game

Best of luck to you if you do genuinely intend to solve this though, maybe you'll get to it before I lose bladder control

Been saying that for at least a decade my dude. You don’t do anything and won’t. Especially since they’re famous streamers using Smurf accounts like crazy. I’d love to be proven wrong.

You know after playing some more games where I had smurfs in all of them all I can say is you are full of shit. “It’s against our TOS”, we’ll do something about it! It’s your job and seems like it’s not happening. Make 2FA mandatory. Otherwise you’re just a joke. It’s Riots holier than though attitude that really pisses me off.

Players selling accounts to each other doesn’t give us revenue

But people who got perma'd for trolling/toxicity buying accounts and re-buying skins does, stop pretending you don't know that's what people are saying

We are taking a hard look at smurfing and account issues right now

*that doesn't negatively impact playrate and $ spending.

Important thing you left out.

There are countless ways to impact smurfing and other account-reselling stuff BUT if players have to do more stuff like attach phone number to your services etc then they will simply bounce away from your game.

So yeah, you want quantity not quality. And you also gaslight players and drop smoke screens everywhere. Whoever is reading this, don't even bother with serious reply. Don't work for them for free, they already have workers that should do this job. They just don't want to do anything other than make you think they do things (they actually don't or do bare minimum). I was here for 10+ years and I just know.

Ever heard of Investors and KPI's? Having lots of new active "players" in your games makes investors think the game is growing, making them more likely to invest money into your company.

More accounts = more potential skin sales.

Thanks for taking part in the discussion—this is definitely a big issue, and I personally think AI could provide a solid solution for smurf and fraud account detection. An AI system could crossmatch players based on behavior patterns, IP addresses, play history, and unique in-game quirks to flag potential smurf accounts.

A key step would be making smurf accounts mandatory to link to a main Riot profile. If players don’t do this, those accounts should face bans. Toxic players with suspended mains could also be flagged by the AI and banned across all linked accounts, which would make it much harder to dodge consequences by switching accounts.

For accounts under review, a good approach could be to restrict them from Summoner’s Rift queues entirely, allowing them to play only ARAM while keeping communication channels open—either with an AI chatbot for straightforward cases or human support for more complex ones.

Implementing such an AI system would obviously req...
