sorry to jump into this thread 8 hours late, but I wanted to clarify: we did not change the climb and we are not using the climb to combat smurfing. The tweet from player support was incorrect on all of these points and they will be putting out a clarification on that. Sorry for the confusion. To your point there are better ways to improve the experience for players vs. smurfs than this would be, which is one of many reasons we didn't do this. Again - sorry we spread misinformation with that one tweet.

Did you notice this same issue last patch (9.22) or just the most recent? (9.23) ?

We've been looking for the source of this problem and right now it appears that it's related to programs that use an overlay (not one specific program) - as others have noted it may help to close any programs you have running that use overlay while we continue to try and fix the issue. Sorry I don't have more concrete info to share, this bug is proving hard to track down.

This bug will be fixed in the upcoming patch (9.23) that will be released on Tues/Wed (depending on your time zone). Sorry and hang in there!

These bugs are very sh*tty and especially so in the last weeks of Ranked. We do have each of these logged and are actively working on them. The loading bug is particularly nasty and hard to fix because we aren't getting logs but we've found the source of the mouse minimizing and I'll post a reply with a timeline for that fix later today.

just a special thing during the event for this patch

yup it's only the base

there's been a group of Rioters working on this - some for over a year - to make this moment fun & memorable for players. This art piece was the brainchild of Riot Kannon Fodder!

I hope you got this fixed - sounds really weird! Email support they might be able to help (especially if others had this same problem)

wait til you see their loading portraits!!

I’m so excited you noticed this - I had a lot of fun writing these with Meddler, Riot Scruffy, and Riot Maple Nectar. So many metas over the past 10 years it was hard to choose one per year but we tried!

On that loading screen everything looks so different now.... except the Heal summoner icon!!

Awesome!!! /u/The_Cactopus has a physical copy too but yours is way cooler!

yup! that will come with the Annie-versary skin & icon

no honor restrictions I believe

you can do them over the course of the month, but you have to finish 1 to unlock the next (total of 10 games for all 10 rewards)

This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing these! I think they are some of the oldest screencaps I've seen!

is there a particular day/reward you're most excited about?

No need to worry, hope you're recovering well. The missions will all be available until Nov 19

Yep!
