  77. You won’t! We’ll disable decay alongside the season’s end. We’ll turn it back on once the 2016 season begins!
  79. Are there any eligibility requirements for these rewards outside of ranked results?
  80. Yes, some players are ineligible for rewards because of negative in-game behavior. This applies only to the 2015 season. Here are the details:

  94. No, that data is lost in the transfer. Sorry :(
  96. Do my ranked team’s placement wins count toward my point total?
  97. They sure do!"
  99. Kindred Delayed until 5.20
  101. While the Kindred champion spotlight was released yesterday, Kindred intended 5.19 release is unfortunately pushed back until the next patch (5.20) due to last minute issues.
  103. Here's Iniquitee with more information on the delay:
  104. "Hey folks,
  105. Despite being in the 5.19 patch notes and just having their champion spotlight released, I have to share the very sad news that Kindred will not be enabled until 5.20.
  106. We found an important, gameplay-impacting issue that we can't release, specifically related to Kindred. Rather than rush a fix out the door, we are going to take due diligence to maintain the integrity of the game and release Kindred (all fixed up) next patch, once it has had adequate coverage. Until that time I hope Worlds can sustain your hype train. We really can't wait to get this champ in your hands and see what you can do with them. They are (still) coming!"
  107. iniquitee echoed the same message over on reddit and continued the discussion:
  109. As for when 5.20 is scheduled to release, he noted:
  110. "5.20 is scheduled to come at our usual patch times next week (different per region based on release schedules)."
  111. When asked about the particular bugs relating to this delay, iniquitee commented:
  112. "There are a few that we're concerned about, but the major one - sometimes a player could lose wolf, and if that happened, you would not get him back until you died. This means you cannot use W or proc your E. Pretty bad stuff. As for why we don't hotfix - checking in and verifying a fix takes several days. By that time we would be very close to 5.20. I know a few days means a lot and may seem worth it, but there are a ton of huge costs involved in doing a patch, including kicking players out and forcing them to patch, sometimes in the middle of a game (if they disconnect for any reason, for example), and many other costs that may be invisible to you. Trust me it's not easy - I really want to watch some streams of Kindred!"
  113. As for why the champion spotlight went out despite the delay, iniquitee noted:
  114. "Miscommunication about the spotlight; it shouldn't have gone out. We found out this info this weekend and just made the call this morning. My fault."

  125. Possible TP Changes in Preseason
  127. In a boards thread asking if the summoner spell Teleport will see any changes in the upcoming preseason, Meddler shared:
  128. "We've been talking about possible TP changes for the preseason. It's a spell that creates some really cool amounts and allows a range of additional strategies. Current thinking is that it may have become a bit too mandatory in many cases however, which then ends up reducing overall diversity rather than creating it. If that's the conclusion we settle on we'll probably make some small nerfs to it (CD at a guess)."
  130. When asked if this would involve nerfing Teleport or buffing up other summoner spells, Meddler continued:
  131. "Putting power into other Summoner Spells is a possibility, if putting more overall power into Summoner Spells, and therefore less into other game elements like champion kits, items, masteries etc, is the desired direction (buffing any system shifts effective power to it from every other system).
  133. Other thing we need to do is evaluate how often Teleport should be up. How often champions with teleport should be able to quickly put themselves in an unexpected location is something we're also looking at. At present for example we regularly see 4v2s bot, with top laners teleporting down as their jungler goes in. That can result in bot lane feeling like a punching bag, with the risk that aggressive plays to establish lane dominance may be too frequently punished, leading to a loss of bot laner agency and a frustrating laning experience. Potentially a strong argument there for increasing the cooldown on teleport (possibly with the cooldown reducing with level, item purchases or some other method if a shorter CD later on is still desirable)."
