New Features
Below are the major updates for the League client update in this patch.
[NEW] ROTATING GAME MODES: Rotating game modes are now available in the updated client, starting with Legend of the Poro King. (Known issue: custom games do not yet support rotating game modes.)
[NEW] GAME SETTINGS IN CLIENT: Players can now change their keybindings from the updated client without having to go into a game.
[NEW] TOASTERS ON: Added a “Toaster Mode” switch in settings that lets players turn off certain animations and effects if they’re suffering from performance issues. Right now, this mostly affects some minor aspects of the champ select experience, but we’ll expand Toaster Mode to cover more features in upcoming patches.
[NEW] GIFTING NOTIFICATIONS: Players will now see a notification when they receive a gift.
Bug Fixes
- Patched up audio and UI components to make the entire client run faster.
- Made champ select run more smoothly and fixed some issues affecting the champ grid UI.
- Added audio and visual changes to champ select to make key decision moments more noticeable.
- Improved responsiveness and stability for important transition moments, like the jump from the play button to the lobby, the ready check pop-up, and the champ select load-in experience.
- Some nasty launch problems were being caused by the new desktop icon not pointing to the right place. This has now been fixed.
- Fixed an error that occasionally prevented players from selecting their rune pages in champ select.
- Fixed various issues that were preventing players from accepting ready checks and locking in champions.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented a player from seeing the ban animation and VO for another player.
-
Cleanse’s tooltip now indicates it doesn’t remove suppression effects.
-
Malzahar’s Voidlings now properly take damage from several damage types that weren’t working properly.
-
The fourth hit of Kled’s W – Violent Tendencies now properly procs on-hit effects, even when the bonus damage kills a unit.
