REROLLS
Hey gang,
A few weeks ago, I let you know we were working on a matchmaking queue for Howling Abyss, but it wasn’t quite ready for testing. Well, with today’s PBE patch that’s changed! Once PBE comes back up you can try out our new queue and help us test out a new ARAM feature we’ve added especially for this queue: rerolls.
While the random element is a really fun part of Howling Abyss, we also understand there are times you simply don’t want to play a particular champion. That’s why we created the reroll feature specifically for this queue. When you’re really not in the mood to play your particular champion on Murder Bridge, you can reroll and get a different random character instead.
Here’s how it works. As you play matchmade games on Howling Abyss, win or lose, you’ll earn points you can save up to purchase a reroll in champion select. You’ll earn a base number of points every match, along with some bonus points based on the number of champions you own. While there is a cap on the number of points you can store up, you’ll be able to reroll multiple times in a single champion select if you’ve got the points.
And don’t worry about wasting your hard-earned points on queue dodgers. If someone leaves your match at champion select, everyone in the game gets a refund except the player who dodged.
This is the first time we’ve added a queue-specific feature like this to champion select, so be sure to give us your feedback. We look forward to reading your comments! Source

ReplyDeleteYou can hate on Riot as much as you want.
ReplyDeleteBut they still try to fix things. It takes a while and isn't perfect, but they work towards a better state then the game currently is in.
I like this A LOT! No more getting weekly champ you've never played before/getting a champ you!
ReplyDeleteI like this A LOT. No more getting a weekly champ you've never played before and that kind of stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh god, I can't wait for this. People will leave less now. Got really tired of all the whiny ppl in customs that kept leaving the moment they got a champion they don't know or like. Don't play random if you're not completely fine with getting a random champion.
