League of Legends V9.3

Client

• Rotating Game Mode: ARURF+ is still available from January 28, 2019 to April 1, 2019.

General

Champion First Encounter VO

• Champions with faction- or champion-specific taunt VO now play those lines the first time they encounter a corresponding champion.

Loading Screen Update

• Ranked borders now dynamically update to reflect your current rank.
• Load-in progress is now tracked via a single bar at the bottom of the screen.
• Clicking a player's card in the loading screen now flips it to show additional info:
  • Teammates: Champion mastery, honor, and ranked armor or level border depending on which they've chosen to display.
  • Opponents: Champion mastery and honor.
• Your summoner's name is now displayed in gold.
• Summoner spells and keystone rune now display a tooltip when hovered over.

Minion and Monster Gold Bounties

• If you die with less minion and monster gold than the enemy team's average, you'll respawn with a buffer equal to the difference. You won't start accruing a minion and monster gold bounty until you've used up the buffer.
  • Say you die with 200 less minion and monster gold than the enemy team's average, then go back to lane and power farm 700 gold while the enemy team only averages 300 gold. Previously, you'd have a 100 gold bounty for having 400 more minion and monster gold than the enemy team's average. Now you won't have a bounty at all because your first 200 gold was erased by the buffer.

Profile Background

• Bug Fix: Choosing a new background for your profile once again immediately updates it rather than requiring you to tab out and tab back into your profile.
