We made some changes that allow us to dynamically provide “Loss Forgiven” to servers experiencing hardware or connection issues. Players should see this more often if their game servers are having issues
We can now disable in-game items and features on the fly, so if there are new bugs or exploits, we’ll disable things on a more sophisticated level rather than turning off all ranked games
Improved Champ Select Timer accuracy and reliability (to be turned on at a later date).
The client will now actively sync its timer with the server during every phase. If your original timer is behind, you may see a jump as it syncs up with the server (e.g. jumping from 60 to 50 if you are 10 seconds behind). But you will no longer run into situations like having seconds left on your timer but having your selection window end prematurely.
We've also reintroduced the numbers 89 to the beginning timer, and 9 into the post Lock-In timer (did you realize they were missing?).
Fixed an issue which would cause the screen to briefly flicker black when selecting a skin in Champ Select
Temporary summoner icons for the Season 3 World Championship teams have been removed from the client
Fixed an issue where purchased champions or skins would disappear in rare circumstances
