League of Legends V6.18

General

Invulnerability HUD

• Champions' health bar now display a golden effect when the champion is invulnerable.

Spectator VFX Cleanup

• Taking the "Worlds patch" narrative in a different direction, we're cleaning up some of the more distracting visuals in spectator mode. For the most part, we're not touching primary visual effects; rather, we're taking out various indicators (such as the team-colored lines that wrap around Braum's Glacial Fissure). These indicators aid in-game decision-making (ex. avoid red things), but we as spectators aren't making those decisions. Toning these effects down makes it easier to track other information at the same time.

Ranked Decay

• Players can play to store up to 10 banked games of decay immunity.
• Each day, 1 banked game is removed from player reserves.
• Starting when the number of banked games first reaches 0, players incur 100 points of LP decay per day until they bank additional games of decay immunity.
• Banked games are tracked on the Leagues tab.
• Decay rules in other tiers are unchanged.
