Player Behavior
Added a new penalty type for players who are AFK in-game that will apply prior to queueing for a game;
This penalty will apply in the form of X amount of time for Y number of games.
When a player queues, if they have any remaining games, they will sit in a queue for X amount of time before they actually begin searching for a match.
Only once you accept a match and play out the game will your Y number of games decrease.
A new feature to Ranked Queue will also be introduced called the Matchmaking Avoid List:
Players in ranks Diamond and below will have the ability to add up to 3 other players to their Avoid List in the post-game lobby.
You will now have the option to add players to your Avoid List after leaving the post-game lobby.
When you add someone to your Avoid List:
You will no longer be matched with the Avoid Listed player on your team in the Ranked matchmaking mode.
The Avoid Listed player will remain on your Avoid List until the list resets.
The Avoid List will reset weekly every Monday.
The remake system has also been updated along with the removal of the All Chat feature;
The Remake vote will now auto trigger
The Remake will no longer require you to enter the menu and ‘start’ the Remake vote. Now, whenever a Remake vote becomes available, the vote will automatically start and appear on the players’ screens.
All Chat will be removed from all game modes starting this patch. There won’t be any changes made to the team or party chat.
Position Preference Rewards
Only in Ranked & Legendary Queue, for now, the feature may be expanded to other future queues.
Players will see it as a daily mission that they can fulfill up to 3x a day.
Players won’t always see this mission; it will only pop up when certain roles are needed in the queue.
When a player has the mission, if they select that role as their first pick they’re guaranteed to get it.
Players won’t receive any rewards if they get a punishment in that game, if say they go AFK or get detected as not playing the assigned role.
In Ranked Queue the reward will be 40 Hextech Energy. (Ranked Fortitude)
In Legendary Queue the reward will be 4 Legendary Points.
