Since they want to keep that mechanic it would be pretty easy to balance the game with classes rather than positions.

Marskman might get the full item + 10% ad (number pulled out of my ass at the moment) but the latter is granted only on the botlane.

You can nerf cringe chapter and add the mana reg bonus to mages granted only on mid

Supports get their bonuses based on the supp item they choose

Top based if they are Juggernaut, tanks or fighters

It could open a whole world to the gameplay and we can stop heavily nerfing champs for their intended role because they go to another lane (Vayne)

You can even add a class a malus going to a lane since they don't want a class going to a specific lane.(particularly ADCs going mid and top)

Subclasses can help for niche style-gameplay picks and you are available to pick one. (Always using Vayne as example could either choose Marksman or Assassin style)

Game easier to balance, removing cringe picks, I don't see any downside of this idea in a season we're mages play 5 different lanes.

My Riot Games account had already been compromised once before, but I managed to recover it through Riot’s account recovery system without much trouble. Some of my other accounts were also targeted around the same time, some successfully and some not, but that’s not really relevant here. Today (August 19, 2026), someone successfully gained access to my Riot account. They changed the original email address linked to the account, changed my username, and most importantly, removed the Microsoft Authenticator two-factor authentication that I had enabled. What doesn’t make sense to me is how this was even possible. The entire point of enabling 2FA is to prevent this exact kind of situation. Yet in less than 10 minutes, the attacker was somehow able to remove my authenticator, change the account email, and take control of everything. From my perspective, all of these changes were approved by Riot’s own security system, even though my account was protected with 2FA. I simply don’t understand how someone could disable my 2FA and take over the account so quickly without any additional verification.

Bought a huge amount of VP, took my money but didnt give me VP. Opened a ticket, then they Closed it without proper resolution, and it took 16 days for the vague ending words they gave me that caused me to miss the Neo Frontier 2.0 bundle i wanted to buy with the vp. horrible support after DAYS of no replies and just telling me

"Thank you for your patience!

As I have gone through the entire conversation and looking at the concern, we have already escalated the concern to our team and we'll get back to you as soon as we receive any update.

In a meantime, If you have any other problem or questions, do not hesitate to contact us here.

We are always here for you!"

3-4 times.

So, I missed the bundle i wanted, didnt get VP, didnt get my Money, didnt get a proper answer, only had 16 days wasted. I saw a post about the support person personally walking through the transaction for someone in just a couple of days and even deducting said amount of VP for the missed bundle due to THEIR ERROR, so I even discussed it with the support ticket guy (who kept replying after 5-4 days everytime and kept changing.), who, tbf said that they will look into it, but couldnt promise anything.

but the last guy on my ticket just dropped "Our team is investigating the issue, and it seems there is some glitch from the Merchant side 
 
Because of that the amount is stuck either on the bank side or on Riot Games side
 
Your need not worry is money is absolutely safe.
 
As soon as the issue is resolved your amount will be released back to your bank statement.
 
Also, we would request you to please use an alternate payment mode until the issue is resolved
 
As of now we will be looking to close this ticket"

and closed it??????excuse me???

saying the money is stuck somewhere and it should return even after 16 days is fking baloney.

Managed to get access to my account again (no fucking thanks to support which stonewalled me for weeks). Because of how traumatizing the experience was I decided to put in a Data Request so I could log all the info they ask so I could actually answer it all.
...
I get 3 rounds of questions. I am on round 3, expecting them to deny it because I forgot random piece of trivia #498124 about a 13 year old account.

Which is insane because as a Californian citizen under the CCPA they should legally not even be able to stonewall me like this.

I just can't even feel happy about getting access to my account because if Riot ever locks me out of my account again it's just all gone. Thousands of dollars of skins and time all gone.

I've been waiting for 74 minutes in a queue, just because I was in the freaking bathroom for 2 minutes and by the time I came back the had already voted remake. Isn't this stupid Low priority queue supposed to be 5 minutes? then what the fuck? I've been playing this shit for 10+ years and they never fail to ragebait users. I guess that's part of their business model now

I cannot believe this. I had to rewatch the game and literally I do nothing even remotely close to intentionally trying to lose. I had the highest kill participation, most farm, 2nd highest vision score etc. I was there for every play and just played this as I would any other game.

I submitted tickets to riot support but I just get AI slop response. The manual review is fake.

1 day isn't long but I don't want this bullshit on my record when it's completely false.

Game was League of Legends, user is JimmyJoJR#NA1 and game ID is 5623420800

Watch for yourself, you'll see this is a complete error. How do I get a human at riot to review instead of an AI?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a massive headache trying to open VALORANT after the latest update, and nothing seems to fix it. I’ve tried every major troubleshooting step found online, but the anti-cheat is completely stuck.

Here is the full timeline of the issue:

1. The Trigger: Right after the game updated, I started getting the dreaded "VAN: RESTRICTION: 1 (UEFI Secure Boot verification failure)" error.
2. The BIOS Fix: I have a Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H motherboard. I went into the BIOS, disabled CSM Support, switched Secure Boot to Custom, restored the Factory Keys, switched back to Standard, and successfully enabled Secure Boot.
3. The Current State: Windows 10/11 now recognizes Secure Boot as Enabled/Active. TPM 2.0 is also active and verified.
4. The New Problem: Even with Secure Boot fully working, the game still won't launch. When checking Windows Services (services.msc), I noticed the vgc service was set to Manual.
5. The Error: Every time I try to switch vgc to Automatic and start it manually, Windows blocks it and triggers: "Error 1: Incorrect function".

What I have tried so far:

• Setting both vgtray.exe and vgc.exe to Run as Administrator.
• Completely uninstalling Riot Vanguard, restarting the PC, and letting the Riot Client reinstall it.
• Double-checking msinfo32 to confirm Secure Boot is genuinely active (it is).

Has anyone faced this exact loop where Secure Boot is fixed but the vgc service completely breaks with Error 1 after the latest patch? Any help or workarounds would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have wanted Chosen of the Wolf Swain since the battlepass that it existed on. I am dumb, and missed the last day. My fault, no question. I have spent the time since then checking to see if it is in the mythic shop since that day.

I am fairly certain i have not missed it in the shop. Not 100% mind you.

It is not even the best skin... or my favorite... it is however the skin i want the most out of the mythic shop.

It has been just under 2 years. Several people i care about in my discord are tired of hearing me check every 2 weeks and said i should just send a message.

hi, sending a message. i want Chosen of the Wolf Swain in mythic shop and upvotes to make it happen.

much love to the community though. Long time member of League. be well all

I lost my VALORANT account roughly a year ago after my email / socials / discord got hacked through some malware on my PC. After going through the full verification process, I finally recovered access to my account. When I logged in, I noticed new skins in my inventory that I never purchased. The very next day, whoever had stolen my account *OR PURCHASED MY STOLEN ACCOUNT* initiated credit card chargebacks on those purchases, before this charge back I replied to my initial recovery ticket and point it out and was left with a reply that had nothing to do with the potential of them charging back the purchases. This dropped my account balance to -31,089 VP (over $300 worth of VP).

I immediately reached out to Riot Support to explain the situation. I let them know my account was stolen and completely out of my possession when those purchases and chargebacks occurred, and I wanted the negative VP cleared and for them to just take the skins off of the account.

Instead of reviewing any of my account info and the card numbers I gave them, including the purchase IDs that go back as far as late 2023, Riot Player Support has repeatedly handed me automated copy / paste responses. These supposed "tier 1 agents" like Baku and Hatiousion put tickets on hold only to reply with generic templates asking me to reconsider unanswered questions when there were none. They are completely ignoring my messages, including my exact creation date (Dec 9, 2020), original login username, creation location, original registration email, card details, full address, and specific Venmo transaction IDs. On top of that, they are insisting that the negative balance must be repaid out of my own pocket if I want to keep playing on an account I've owned for over 5 years.

Riot Support already officially confirmed my account was compromised when they granted my account recovery request. How can they acknowledge an account was stolen, but then turn around and claim "no signs of compromise"?!

Their verification system relies heavily on automated checks that completely ignore payment details, cardholder names, and previous recovery records. Punishing account owners for credit card fraud committed by a hacker while ignoring verified transaction IDs is broken player support.

Has anyone managed to get an actual Billing Supervisor to conduct a manual audit? Any advice on getting A REAL PERSON to look at this would be appreciated. It feels like I'm in a hostage situation with Riot support where they want me to pay back what the hacker did to my account I didn't have access to. For anyone who has a account they just got back and recovered with new skins on it, pretty much say GG if they charge back the skins, Riots support has been utterly useless in the matter.

i pray to every god that exist in earth and the whole universe that you will close league of legends project, turn off servers, give back money to people that paid for anything that cost rp in your whole game creating career and give back money to people that really need it like homeless people from LA and you'll never be able and you will be blocked by every world government to work with every possible game in future. creating game 15 years ago and still didn't make system that's giving + points when you play good and your team is just composition of you and 4 apes just like adcs with 120 cs during 30 min game. XD league of legends is worst addicting game that people can create - another thing is suspicious that as closer you are to get free box from battlepass as harder your games are. i deranked 2 divisions in 2 days by playing with dumb people, different hours of queueing, maybe in 2 of 10 games i lost it by myself and was a trash but 8 other games i just got people that can't listen, can't read chat, can't do anything, just hunt killing, i can't carry it alone but the same apes that troll games on low elo gonna say skill issue in comments. please riot workers - give this work for someone that's playing this game and make working sabotage report system because i promise and you'll be guilty if something happens to me when i'll get 0/13 katarina in 18 minutes game without game stop and my lp save. every new player that started playing it - stop, every streamer that's streaming it - please stop you can make money on something else, do not make people addicted to this and say anything positive about league of legends - it will never be a good game even if you're addicted to nostalgia. cheers.
