Watch Rewards are returning for the 2019 season

Image
Watch Rewards aren’t just for Worlds anymore Riot Games Watch Rewards were introduced into  League of Legends  just last year as a part of the 2018 World Championships. They awarded players with a small amount of tokens for checking out games during Worlds. This year, Watch Rewards are back and there will be different versions for several of the world’s biggest leagues. The rewards this time around will include Emotes, Icons, XP, and Blue Essence. Just like during Worlds, players will be required to watch either live games or VoDs on  lolesports.com  after signing in with their  League  login information. Players will need to watch at least 10 minutes of a game or VOD in order to get credit for the missions. The rewards will be available in the following regions on the date listed: Brazil — Jan. 11 Turkey — Jan. 13 Latin America, Europe, North America, Oceania, and Japan — Jan. 17 According to Riot, the addition of Watch Rewards for the regular season is just the firs

The Ornn shop is gone but his upgraded items aren’t

This way is better for everybody


Riot Games
Ornn’s ability to upgrade certain items and let his teammates do the same was always interesting, but never quite felt right. The upgrades were expensive and it was never clear when the best time to buy an upgrade was, versus simply buying another regular item.
So in hopes of making Ornn’s interactions a little bit more clear, he’s getting some changes to the way his upgraded items work. The biggest of these changes: they’re free now. Yep, all Ornn has to do is hit level 13 and his items are automatically upgraded — he can have two upgraded items.
Meanwhile, for his teammates, Ornn has to hit level 14 then he can start upgrading their items as well. For every level Ornn hits from 14 and up he gets one upgrade to use on an upgradable item that a teammate has. All he has to do is get within 600 range of the ally then click on them. Ornn’s allies can only have one upgraded item. It’s not quite clear if the player Ornn clicks on will get to choose which item they upgrade (if they happen to have more than one).
For a full look at all the changes that came with patch 9.1, check out the patch notes.

The first issue of Ashe: Warmother is out now

Image
Read the first issue for free to dive into Ashe’s past Riot Games The first issue of the  Ashe: Warmother  comic collaboration with Marvel launchedWednesday morning for all to read. (That’s right, it’s online for free.) The comic is an origin story for  League ’s iconic marksman, Ashe, as she learns how to be the leader the Freljord needs. The series starts with her reminiscing of her youth and her strong mother. Ashe wasn’t always the leader that she is in game now. League  fans probably already know what this is leading to, as the Ashe you play as in the game is vastly different from the Ashe we see in the comic. We know that she’ll eventually have white hair and become the leader the Avarosan needs (and she’ll marry Tryndamere along the way) but the journey is the fun part. The next issue comes out on Jan. 16, 2019 and will have monthly releases continuing on. The comic will be available for physical purchase in May as a trade paperback.

The Prestige Aatrox and Vayne skins don’t feel like a prestigious reward

Image
Hopefully players will not have to grind out over 100 games to unlock these skins With the announcement of the Prestige version of Firecracker Vayne and the upcoming release of Blood Moon Aaatrox and the Prestige version of the skin, conversation among  League of Legends  players has focused on these golden skins. Originally introduced for the 2018 Worlds event, a Prestige version of the K/DA Kai’Sa skin was announced, with a new model who did look substantially different than her original form. Then came Prestige K/DA Akali for the Snowdown Showdown event shortly after Worlds. The golden Blood Moon Aatrox popped up on the Public Beta Environment in December and is awaiting release on live servers. Now, we have another Prestige skin, presumably for the Lunar Revel event that takes place at the end of January. The two skins are pretty different   Riot Games via Surrender@20 To get Akali and Kai’Sa’s skins, players had to buy a pass for 1650 RP and 1450 RP respectively, that wou

League of Legends patch 8.24b change list

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. That doesn’t exclude Riot Games, which has dropped its last update of the year in the form of a tiny fix patch. All of the changes in here are balance tweaks. There’s no new mechanics, champions or even skins. Riot just wants to make sure that everything is in a good spot before we all take a break and get some well-deserved rest before the season 9 starts in January. Akali and Pyke are getting the most focus this patch, as the two have been trouble for quite a bit now. Akali is getting tweaks to her Twilight Shroud and Pyke is getting a number of changes. 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 .
