League Client Update

“	As we're getting closer to opening up sign-ups for the League client update alpha test (link), we're conducting internal testing so we're prepped for players to participate in the alpha. This required use of a live, public environment, and we knew there was a chance of it being prematurely discovered. That's okay, and we'll be sharing much more context on the League client update and its alpha test as we get closer to the alpha's start, including some info on the PBE boards in the next week or so in regards to an upcoming tech test.

Replay System

• Updated assets. The official Replay system was pulled from the PBE almost a year ago and has not been heard from since, although was confirmed to be in development. While unconfirmed - the update to the assets could signify progress.

League of Legends VPBE

Game Client

Early Surrender

The following has been data-mined from the PBE client and has been confirmed as a developmental feature not intended for immediate release. However, due to the nature of the leak, not all information is known.

• If one of your players has disconnected and first blood has not been scored, your team is given the option to surrender early.
  • Note that this may only refer to games that begin with a player disconnected, as the wording implies this is something that is presented autonomously and not something players must instantiate.
• A game that is surrendered early is not counted for either team, with the exception of the disconnected player and any of their party members.
• The option to surrender early is disabled once first blood has been scored.
