League of Legends’ Clash mode has been delayed until further notice. Clash, which was due to release earlier this year, underwent some pretty catastrophic errors during its launch weekend, and may not return in 2018.
According to a post by lead producer Riot New001, the issues with Clash’s launch stemmed from the fact that the League client was created quickly, and has had to scale up to the game’s size over time. When Clash launched, however, it became “the only experience in League that asks the platform to create a huge number of games simultaneously.”
Clash was a bit of a bump in the road for LoL, but it still makes our list of the s.
Riot had, of course, undergone several public betas in the run up to Clash, but, as is now abundantly clear, weren’t quite prepared for that level of demand. The company proceeded to roll out tests in smaller regions, but there were still problems in Vietnam, Turkey, and EU West.

Riot is working on fixing those issues, breaking down the entire game in an attempt to debug the game mode and make it work in the long run.

League of Legends' next big content patch is 8.14, introducing a whole host of new skins. It does, however, look like things are quite quiet on the balance change front right now, so there are no tweaks to champions, items, or runes just yet. That should change soon though, as lead champion designer Meddler says a hotfix for the newly-reworked Aatrox should appear soon.
What we do have, however, is a grand total of seven new skins. As well as gemstone exclusive Hextech Poppy, adding to a generous roster of Hextech champions (although you can only access her throguh LoL's crafting system. There are also six skins celebrating Samsung Galaxy's victory at Worlds 2017, one for each player (including their sub). Particular highlights, in my opinion, are the Taliyah and Xayah skins, although I do particularly enjoy Mega Gnar scoffing noodles from out of the Summoner's Cup itself. Who needs chopsticks?

Have a look below for all the information we've got, straight from the PBE. LoL Patch 8.14 Release Date And Downtime
We don't know the exact release date for patch 8.14 yet, but patch 8.13 is a three-week patch, so expect 8.14 on Wednesday July 19. We'll update when Riot do, but keep an eye on the for the latest updates.

Cast your mind back to November 2017, and you may remember Faker’s tears as three-time world champions SKT T1 were beaten in the final of the League of Legends World championships. Thwarting SKT at the final hurdle were Samsung Galaxy, who lifted the Summoner’s Cup after a resounding 3-0 win. Now, as is tradition, a set of skins celebrating the team’s win are making their way to the game.
As League of Legends’ competitive scene continues to change, so does the way in which teams perform on the World stage. With that in mind, Riot has been tweaking the way in which they decide on who gets a skin in the wake of a victory.
Check out our list of the s.
In a recent thread, product manager Riot Supercakes said that “over the last year, we’ve evolved and updated our approach to selecting the skins we make to celebrate the team and players who win Worlds. As teams continue to experiment with their rosters, we’ve had to reevaluate our criteria for the skins."
Only six players on a winning team will be considered for a skin. In order to earn a new cosmetic, a player has to have had an impact on a team’s progression out of the group or play-in stages, or has to have participated in at least one knockout game.

Riot Games faces a lot more competition than it once did on the esports front, with new games such as Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds grabbing the attention of gamers. But the Los Angeles-based company believes that esports is still in its early stages, and it is moving forward in its quest to make League of ...]

“Human error” at Riot Games meant that a small group of players received account data not associated with their own accounts. The issue was first flagged by a player on the League of Legends subreddit in a post last night.
tates that the player initially requested his account data from Riot around a month ago. Upon prompting the company for the data again after some time had passed, they received an zip file containing information on someone else’s account. As well as in-game information like chat and report logs, player data also contains email addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, and IP addresses used to log into the game over the past four months.
There are plenty of contenders out there, so check out our list of the s.
Riot has since responded to the . Player support agent Riot Westbroke further down the thread saying that Riot had “temporarily paused manual reviews of data requests” pending an investigation. A few hours later, that thread was updated to provide more context and information.
That update stated that “normally, data requests like these are handled by an automated system. In this case it was handled manually, and through human error the wrong file was sent to the wrong player.”
“Most importantly, we’ve gone through every other request that was answered manually and can confirm this was an incredibly rare incident.” Riot stated that they have individually contacted the few players affected.
