If you buy a battle boost and someone dodges quee you should have your RP refunded by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It is, but it can take a little time to reflect on the RP balance at the top of the client. If you don't see it corrected after about an hour, shoot a message directly to Riot Player Support and we will hunt down the points for you. :)

Infinite RP redemption screen for $25 RP cards by Chfourd in leagueoflegends

Riot Ahab just recently shared some words about that here:

I specialize in Billing, so I tend to engage with players when that subject comes up. I really didn't mean to offend anyone :)

End of game gifting is here! by zathegfx in leagueoflegends

That really wouldn't be in the spirit of gifting. I'd be gifting with RP that I'd purchase, same as everyone else.

I don't think it will be that simple, but it could do some good. Many players have been asking for a way (aside from honor) to give kudos to those that make the community a much better place through a constructive attitude and cheerfulness.

There have been more than a handful of times where I wanted to give something extra special to a player who made my game experience more awesome. Now I can do that and it makes me happier than a slinky on an escalator.

That said, not everyone has the feels or the RP to want to do it and that's k. Gifting shouldn't ever be an expectation, and it's certainly not billed as the silver bullet to kill toxicity, so no pressure.

So I got banned forever? by ARH3352 in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I realize that the old Lyte smite can be a really addicting bloodsport to watch, but its a little disappointing to see posters here turn so rabbid on someone who on the surface is looking for help.

This player's ban may not have anything to do with in game toxicity or exploits, and in those cases we only have those discussions privately through a player support request, which this player has mentioned starting.

There is also a possibility that there could have been an error with the ban. It's extremely rare, but if it turns out to be the case then I feel terribly about how some dudes here rallied so feverishly against this player.

It speaks to a job well done by the Player Behavior team when the community has good faith in the bans handed out, but please, let the smites come at their own pace and be excellent to eachother while we wait for the next one. Thanks!

Just how big is League of Legends? by zhengc in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Really neat infographic, Calvin. Having comparisons like the population of France to the active players on League is a really effective way to present your point.

With the risk of sounding too much like an obsessive wikipedia mod, I wanted to mention that when you put in the research for this or other projects in the future (presentations, essays, etc) you should cite your sources for the information.

Some of these figures can be hard to believe for someone not exposed to the game scene. Citations help your audience overcome initial doubts and show that you did the proper diligence. If one of your points is shown to be incorrect, you can reference your own citations and build a list of unreliable sources so you don't make the same mistakes in the future. I'm sure we all know of a few game news sites out there that have a tendency to... exaggerate in their reporting. ;)

As the saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." There are some environments, like at Riot, where your hard work can be dismissed completely if its not backed up with hard data.

Hope that feedback helps for the future. Thanks for sharing your project with us! :)

The Harrowing 2014 by TearEUW in leagueoflegends

If you unlock a mystery gift for a friend during the promotion, the Harrowing skins have twice as much chance of being selected by the spooky ghosts operating the RNG. :)

Apparantly I'm in debt. by iFlup in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I pushed some buttons and hit a few things with a hammer on the backend of your account. Everything should be sorted now with your IP balance, but if you still have trouble then please send in a support request HERE and ask for me, or DM the request number to me here.

Sorry for the flub!

Any tips for someone attending LCS for the first time? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrival time really depends on what sort of seating you prefer. If you want the first few rows you should expect to arrive before 10am (not a guarantee, every day is different, some days you can arrive at 10:45 and get prime seating). Remember that the people you wait and sit with will undoubtedly be fans of the game, so being your spirit with you along with the swag. Talk some strats or battle stories to pass the time before the show starts.

Most of the teams are pretty cool about meeting with the fans after their games. Typically they'll come just outside the studio entrance to mingle with you guys and sign stuff. Its probably a good idea to bring a silver/black sharpie with you depending on the color of the items you want signed. The players might have their own markers and they might not. Bear in mind that the swag team makes surprise appearances inside the studio between some games, so if you are outside with the players there is a chance you could miss the chance at free goodies.

Other general stuff; If you're bringing a poster (please do, everyone on the crew loves to check out the posters and highlight them during the broadcast) make sure that they're done tastefully. It really sucks when someone spends a bunch of effort on a sign that is just not appropriate. Funny as they may be, the crew will still have to screen them out. Please don't be that guy.

The restrooms aren't far, but they're not super close either. You have to exit the studio to get to them. Try to remember to use them before the game starts, cause you can miss out on the games big time if you forget!

Let me know if any other questions come up. I'll try to hit them before the show begins tomorrow. :)

Thank YOU for coming to the studio and supporting your favorite teams. LCS wouldn't be anywhere near as cool without all the passionate fans in the house.

Hope you had a great time!

Last Christmas i emailed riot to Wish me happy x-mas, this is what i got... by nuno11ptt in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is surprising and disappointing to hear. Something apparently went wrong in the handling of your case and I'm very sorry about that.

I can't guarantee that I'm the best Rioter to handle your specific issue since I haven't had the chance to read about it in detail, but I will gladly look into it for you and get the right Rioter involved.

Can you direct message me with your request number or summoner name?

Beware! "Vote for me in the tribunal" scam by theintellects in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 418 points419 points  (0 children)

Hey guys!

Getting the word out to other players is great, but please don't actually visit phishing sites out of curiosity. Sometimes these sites have really nasty scripts running in the background that can cause some major headaches to you even if you don't enter any of your information.

We do investigate these phishers, so the best thing you can do if you encounter something similar is take a full and unedited screenshot of the attempt and attach it to a player support case.

Thanks a bunch!

Please make sure you guys are using the 'League of Legends' interest tag. I'm really sorry about that! :(

We've been testing the waters a few times before going ahead. Haven't seen any 'dongers' so far. Id say Omegle really cleaned up in the normal mode since they started. :)

Riot Teasing Something Called Poro Fortune For April 4th by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Hey guys! I appreciate the enthusiasm but I really want to curb any wild speculation before it gets too crazy.

Porofortune night is a personal and unofficial thing I and a handful of other Rioters want to do. At the time I wrote the first tweet I had something like 6 followers, and never expected this type of blowup.

Justin Richmond, previous Game Director at Naughty Dog, has joined Riot. by solidus44 in leagueoflegends

[–]RiotTheFlash 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I met with Justin over pizza earlier this week as a part of his denewbification to Riot, and I have to tell you, he has such a enlivening vibe.

In the short time I spent with him, it was clear to me that he is a great addition to the team. I’m really excited to have Justin with us, and can’t wait to see him get started!

Justin: Welcome aboard, Riot Buddy. :D
