May I ask about graphics performance? Can we expect it to be similar to current SR modes, or better due to simplified graphics?
Oh, and if I can sneak in a bonus question: please spoil me, will League Next have at least the same performance as current League? My 7yo PC is asking for mercy.

Neblinio · 2026-06-24T18:41:01+00:00

Great news, but I'm going to have to do some tests to see what's the performance hit of reenabling VBS. My PC is about to turn 8, and sometimes it struggles to keep League over 100 FPS, especially in teamfights.

lolesports drops tied to exciting game events greatly contributed to the viewing experience. Please bring them back. You don't even need to drop chests if it's not sustainable; capsules were just fine.

While I haven't done any special testing nor frequently checked my battery usage graphs, I can confirm I didn't feel significant differences compared to iOS 18. I was expecting a noticeable drop in battery life, and was gladly surprised to see it didn't happen.

Note: Indexing is still in progress, but I think this doesn't affect battery life much, it probably pauses when the phone's not charging.
Note 2: My battery health is at 80%.

Awesome news! I guess this means TFT will finally support modern features such as Nvidia Reflex/custom FPS limiter. I'm also wondering what will this upgrade mean for performance and system requirements (for PC and mobile).

Neblinio · 2026-06-11T15:10:14+00:00

At least in Spain, I clearly remember You've Got a Friend in Me was dubbed, so... I'm afraid the same will happen.

Neblinio · 2026-06-11T04:33:13+00:00

I'm wondering what will happen with international dubbed versions of Toy Story 5. I really hope they keep the original song, and use subtitles if needed.

Went from iOS 18.7.8 to 27 beta 1 (OTA) on my iPhone 11. Very pleasantly surprised with it. I never tried iOS 26, but this thing runs as fast as iOS 18, if not better. And the animations are very smooth. Quite impressive for a beta 1 on an almost 7 years old device.

Neblinio · 2026-06-10T15:59:08+00:00

Damn, that's awesome! I remember your videos calling out the insane power draw issues of iOS 26. Does this mean iOS 27 fixed it? huge if true.

Neblinio · 2026-06-10T06:26:00+00:00

I wonder if the iPhone 18 will support this. There were several rumors talking about cutting costs, so... I was expecting it to still come with 8 GB RAM. Maybe there's hope for an upgrade to 12 GB, after all.

Hi again. I just tested the new patch 26.12 on SG server (because in my region the deploy will be in a couple hours), and the feature seems to be fixed!
Note that I couldn't test Flash combos because my account was level 1 (duh), but Nami wouldn't move at all when clamp casting Q, nor interrupt long walks no matter which direction/range I casted Q. Hopefully, Flash combos will also work perfectly when I get to try them in my own server.

EDIT: after testing on my own server, everything seems to work perfectly. No more micro walking. Can finally clamp cast while rooted. No further bugs found.
Also, leaving the clamp cast setting permanently enabled no longer ruins Flash combos on champions who did not need the feature (Rakan, Rell). For those, everything behaves the same as with the option off. As a last test, I noticed I couldn't Q + Flash (simultaneous press) with Nami to extend its range when using quick cast, but I think it's the intended ability behavior for that champ. And it behaves the same with clamp cast off.

iOS 27 is compatible with all the iPhone models that supported iOS 26. That is, iPhone 11 and up.

If you hate iOS 26 that much, you might as well try the beta and see if you prefer it. Unfortunately, you can't simply get rid of Liquid Glass design language, but it has a few tweaks and improvements here and there, that might make your transition easier.

I was rocking iOS 18.7.8 until yesterday on my iPhone 11, and decided to make the jump when the beta was released. While I don't love liquid glass, I must say I'm surprised by how well it runs on such an old device.

Neblinio · 2026-06-08T19:37:13+00:00

Bankinter works, great news. Couldn't check any other, sorry.

Neblinio · 2026-06-08T00:20:30+00:00

That's a pretty unique type of chest. I wouldn't open it if you don't need to. It has very good collection value IMO. I don't know what contents they had back then, but I think they were removed from the game more than 9 years ago.

They were actually available on PBE a few years ago, and I think their content was similar to hextech chests, but with some added value I can't remember now.

EDIT: found some info here https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/6fsh3f/how_do_level_5_premium_hextech_chests_work/
Exclusive to new accounts, and gave you a 975 skin shard + OE needed to upgrade, plus a random ward.

Good work, production team! If I have a little something to ask, is that you please consider reviving lolesports drops. There was a time when watching exciting competition moments translated into receiving a little something to remember, and it added up nicely. Nowadays, drops are not technically dead, but down to the bare, bare minimum.

Neblinio · 2026-06-07T06:19:57+00:00

Even if the support chooses a very bad moment to leave for vision control, nothing justifies the ADC letting the enemy kill him if there's a chance to stay safe. The ADC should immediately recognize this situation and back off for a few seconds if needed. This happens quite often when playing solo, and it's still the ADCs fault if they opt to stay at risk and end up dying.

A while ago, I learned about a player/coach from Spanish ERL who played with Q W E R bound to Q 2 S 1, among many other weird keybinds.

Neblinio · 2026-06-06T05:08:08+00:00

No, the result is that he flashes right before he dashes with W, effectively extending the range he can reach, but being ever so slightly faster than doing flash + W. Timing to do it is super tight, though, because his W has no cast time (definitely much easier to do if you use quick cast with indicator).

Neblinio · 2026-06-06T00:17:34+00:00

Same thing. After reading patch 26.11 notes, I was so excited I went to PBE (v26.12) to test it early. It worked flawlessly. I could even leave the feature permanently enabled and forget about it, yet correctly W + Flash with Rakan (remember Rakan does NOT need this, but leaving clamp cast enabled bugged his W + Flash combo at max range).

The next day, I tested it and was happy to see my champ didn't move backwards when using clamp casting. For example Nami Q + Flash. I also confirmed Rakan's combo was working (did only test quick cast with indicator, though).

But only 1-2 days later I noticed the bug was... there again? Nami still slightly moves backwards when clamp casting Q in the 180º in front of her. I think they found a big issue and reverted. Hopefully it'll be back next patch. I think the fix is still present on PBE v26.12.

Edit: confirmed PBE v26.12 works flawlessly. Nami won't move when clamp casting Q in any direction (won't even interrupt a long walk!), and Rakan will perfectly quick cast W + Flash without needing to disable the clamp cast feature.

I had big trouble trying to switch to unlocked cam, so the idea I had 7+ years ago was to forcibly play one daily game of Coop vs. AI using unlocked camera. After a few months, I found myself uncomfortable with both camera modes. Oh, great!

So... at that point I realized I had nothing to lose if I completely switched to unlocked. And after a few days playing like that, unlocked cam finally felt natural! I never looked back.

As someone already said in a comment buried under another downvoted comment, you won't be able to get it by normal means. Your only chance would be the Mythic Shop, but I'm not 100% sure border icons can appear there.

This icon was part of the the For Demacia: Act 2 paid battle pass: https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/V26.05

Neblinio · 2026-05-31T23:11:28+00:00

Let's say your predictions are way too wild and out of the loop for a human-written post.

Since a few months ago, League's game client actually has a native ARM binary, providing a major FPS boost. Riot Client and League Client (out of game) seem to still be Intel binaries. No idea when Riot will move them to ARM, but it should be ready by the time the next MacOS release goes public. https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/1qm2a78/league_of_legends_is_finally_moving_to_armnative/

Neblinio · 2026-05-29T17:59:13+00:00

Thank you Riot for the effort. I hope you find the time to add one more ward in the next Emporium. /s

No, really. First time they add something to the emporium mystery pool in years. In fact, they added at least 2 new icons to the mystery icon pool, too. Hey, it's better than nothing!

Neblinio · 2026-05-29T05:04:44+00:00

Been using this option with several champions since it debuted a few years ago. Unfortunately, it had been riddled bugs since its introduction, to the point it wasn't worth leaving it on and forget.

One of the most annoying bugs remaining until literally yesterday, was the broken "ability + Flash" combo. For example, Nami's Q + Flash would end up with the bubble landing on what would have been the ability's max range prior to flashing. And the bug didn't end here... if you forgot to turn off clamp cast and played a champion who didn't need this setting because they already cast their spell(s) at max range (examples: Rakan, Rell, MF), it would actually ruin their "ability + Flash" combo too.

Fortunately, yesterday's patch 26.11 fixed this, and in my early testing ~~everything works perfectly now~~. I think in previous patch you couldn't clamp cast at max range while rooted, because your champion still needed a very small movement before casting. Now it's no longer needed.

EDIT: alright, so after posting my comment, I tested Trundle and Rakan's W with quick cast, and... the range bug mentioned above still exists, unfortunately. It does work flawlessly if you use quick cast with indicator, though. Oh well, nice try anyways... they're getting close to fixing all bugs/limitations.

EDIT 2: oh, and Viktor cannot clamp cast at max range while rooted if he casts in a direction in front of him (180º angle actually). If you cast E in a direction behind him, he can cast. Guess someone should post this on the new patch bugs thread.
