[LoL News] 6/17/12 Patch Notes

[Adiados]

PvP.net v1.61

• Players can now earn unlimited rewards per day in Co-op vs. AI. After 180 minutes, rewards continue to be earned at 75% the normal rate.
• Custom games now have a separate pool of 120 daily reward minutes that is no longer shared with Co-op vs. AI.
  • Only applies to Summoners level 15+. Lower level Summoners earn unlimited rewards per day.
• Updated the IP reward forumula for Co-op vs. AI:
  • Games of medium to long length will yield larger rewards
  • Games of short length will yield smaller rewards
    • On Summoner's Rift, "short" is generally less than 24 minutes
    • On The Crystal Scar, "short" is generally less than 12 minutes
  • Players should see an increase in IP reward per game so long as they aren't quickly steamrolling the bots
• The Tournament Draft Custom Game mode will now allow Summoners to pause the game
• Dodging a Ranked Game will no longer result in loss of Elo but the time before you can join any queue again has greatly increased
• Adjusted the way Elo is handled for newly formed ranked teams; many new teams will see their Elo increase as a result.
• Normal Draft Mode (Please note that these additions were incorrectly stated in the Darius patch notes)
  • Normal draft has changed so that premade groups are not prioritized over solo players
    • Solo players have a 20% chance of being the team captain with banning powers and first pick, regardless of the premade status of the rest of the team
    • If a solo player is not team captain, the player will be given a random slot in the pick order
    • If players group up before a game, their host absorbs all of their chances, i.e. the host of a 4-man premade has an 80% chance to be captain
• A feedback sound now plays when spending mastery points
