Objective Steal Announcements
Baron Nashor, Rift Herald, and Dragon steals are now celebrated (or “celebrated”, depending on which side of the steal you were on) via chat call-outs and announcement banners!
Profile Page
In preparation for the 2019 ranked changes and the return of Clash, the profile page design has been revamped. A couple of the profile icons will remain empty for a while, but that should change soon.
Normal Draft matchmaking
Also in preparation for Ranked 2019, we’re now previewing positional matchmaking in Normal Draft only. This means you’ll be matched based on the position you were assigned instead of just having one rating in the background. This should make matchmaking better across the board, and tangibly better when playing secondary and autofilled games. We’re also testing position detection, which determines what position you actually played on the end of game screen. Let us know if it does you wrong.
Bugfixes
- Dark Harvest’s dropped Soul Essence particle is now brighter and clearer for colorblind players.
