Champ Select Reporting & Muting Test

Here's Riot Codebear with details on the champ select muting & reporting test - "We're kicking off testing for new behavior tools in champ select."

"Earlier this month, we mentioned we'd be running fast-iteration experiments on live servers to more rapidly adapt to behavioral trends than we have in the past. During patches 10.13 and 10.14, we're running a two-patch experiment for champ select reporting and muting. We'll start with NA and KR around the time 10.13 launches, and expand our experiment scope as we go. You'll know the experiment is live in your region when you get a one-time notification in champ select highlighting the newly-added features. 

Champ select muting 

We're running this experiment to see if champ select muting leads to changes in behavior related to negative chat in champ select and in-game. 

If you mute a player in champ select, they'll be muted in-game as well. The mute will also persist if you're matched with that player again later in your play session. Mutes won't, however, extend to the post-game lobby since our current focus is exclusively on adding muting to champ select, not the whole client. If post-game lobby muting ends up being more important than other experiments we're working on, we'll prioritize it. 

Champ select reporting 

We're running this experiment to gain a clear understanding of how often different types of negative behaviors occur in champ select, and the different impacts they have in-game (chance of winning, rate of in-game reports, etc). The initial iteration of Champ Select Reporting will not be tied to our penalty systems. 

Once this experiment ends, we'll use the report data to plan out further investment in a penalty system as a second iteration. 

We're excited to get our first experiments tackling game-ruining behaviors onto live servers! Be on the lookout for more updates throughout the rest of the year and into 2021."

Celebrate the 2020 Spring Split Champions with Conqueror Nautilus 

Here's new details on Conqueror Nautilus from LoLEsports - "Beware the depths! Conqueror Nautilus is coming to PBE on Tuesday, June 23!"

"We'll release the Conqueror Nautilus skin as a way for fans to celebrate the 2020 LoL Esports Spring Split Champions. Historically, the Conqueror skin line celebrated the Mid-Season Invitational and all the players who qualified for one of the year's most global and competitive events. Even though the Mid-Season Invitational could not be held this year, the Conqueror Nautilus skin will still celebrate the teams that qualified. We will be sharing 25% of the proceeds to the Spring Split Champions across all 12 regional leagues. 

Conqueror Nautilus will be fully released with patch 10.14 on Thursday, July 9. It will be available as a standalone skin for 975 RP, and as part of a border bundle, which includes the champion, skin, icon, and border, for 2340 RP."

Miscellaneous

• Meddler provided an update on the removal of Little Legends from ARAM:

"Update on LLs and ARAM - we're putting any changes on hold for now. Based off your feedback we agree our current approach isn't hitting the mark. Will reassess and get back to you folks with an alternative or modified approach for further discussion."

• VALORANT Launch Ranks & Competitive

"Hey VALORANT competitors, ahead of our global launch of Competitive Matchmaking during patch 1.02, we wanted to give you an update on what to expect when you queue up. 

A huge thank you to all of you for the feedback during VALORANT Closed Beta, your input helped inform our next steps. So, based on that feedback, we targeted a few areas to level up for Competitive launch. 

On that note, it’s worth saying that this ranked system is a living work in progress, so don’t stop your comments. Expect us to continue to make improvements based on your feedback."
