The NA LCS is changing its name and returning on Jan. 26 2019

The NA LCS has a new name ... sort of



Riot Games

The NA LCS is re-branding to just the LCS, now that there’s no longer a need to differentiate it from its EU counterpart, which changed it’s name earlier this year. The announcement of the new name and slightly updated logo, came on Thursday afternoon via a tweet from Riot.
With the EU LCS changing its official moniker to LEC, all of the major regions in the League of Legends competitive world now have their own unique name, logo and brand identity. While this wasn’t a strictly necessary, it’s easy to see why Riot would prefer to give these brands their own space to live and breathe, especially since the two LCS regions, Europe and North America, were the only two that shared a name.
Also announced along with the newly updated LCS name is the league’s return date of Jan. 26, 2019. When the league returns it will once again have the 10 franchised teams from last year, along with each of the teams’ new rosters as they once again compete for a spot in the LCS playoffs.

Valentine’s Day 2019: Heartbreaker Vi and Heartpiercer Fiora skins remind that love hurts

Image
Heartbreaker Vi and Heartpiercer Fiora are the latest love themed skins Riot Games As if there wasn’t enough news already today — what with new patches, new skins and a new champion — Riot has also decided to announce this year’s Valentine’s Day skins for Vi and Fiora. Based on their titles, these two skins aren’t exactly the Heartseeker skins we’re used to. Vi’s new skin is called Heartbreaker Vi, and Fiora’s is Heartpiercer. The skins have a distinctly medieval feel to them with Fiora looking royal in a purple and red quilted dress and Vi suiting up in purple, red and gold armor. The splash even lets us know that’s the case as it features Fiora knighting Vi. This line of skins is for all things love in the  League of Legends  universe, so they should be out around Valentine’s Day. The themed skins have been released for all different kinds of champions, like Ashe, Lucian, Varus, Quinn and Orianna. Unfortunately for those fans prone to shipping, none of the officia...

Akali and Pyke nerfs! Riot Games The year is winding down and people are beginning to cozy up by the fireplace to celebrate the holidays.

There’s no new mechanics, champions or even skins.

A handful of marksmen are getting buffed and some mages are getting nerfed, including Neeko. As usual, you can check out Riot’s full notes  here  and our tl;dr  here .
