Wolfs Den: Patch Over Weekend? Nothing to get Hyped Over.
The hype over upcoming patches is causing the forums to explode at every announcement made by RIOT. Sadly this patch will leave you wishing for a little bit more.
Well HUGE anticipation over the next few patches for Jayce info or Pulsefire, Sadly nothing is here with the weekend patch. Assuming RIOT is putting files into the game to make Tuesdays patch more bearable, this patch comes with a few bug fixes, a few new icons, and a removal of Winters Rift to make room for Proving Grounds.

- 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
- Normal draft has changed so that premade groups are not prioritized over solo players
- A feedback sound now plays when spending mastery points
