Agent Changes

Introducing Clove!

The new specialist agent Clove has now been added to the Riot website, where you can see its description and ability demonstration. Hailing from Scotland, Clove knows how to harm opponents both in the heat of battle and in the cold of death. Enemies are left to guess when the agent will rise from the grave – and this can happen at any moment.

Special Abilities:

• "Intervention" (Q): Selects a fragment of immortality essence. Press the FIRE button to throw it. After a short time, it explodes, temporarily dealing periodic damage to all targets in the affected area.

• "Ruse" (E): Selects a battlefield overview. Press the FIRE button to indicate places on the map for Clove's clouds. Press the ALT. FIRE button to launch several clouds, obscuring the view in the selected area. Clove can use this ability after death.
• "Sustenance" (C): INSTANTLY absorbs the life force of a fallen enemy that Clove managed to kill (or damage). This provides a speed boost and a temporary health increase.
  

• "Die Early" (X): Press the ability button to resurrect. After resurrection, Clove needs to kill an enemy (or assist in killing them by dealing damage) within a certain time, otherwise death will occur.

Primer Changes

• We have added waiting periods between attempts to confirm by phone number. If you encounter any issues when confirming by phone number, please contact support.

Social Features Changes

Voice Indicators

• Some changes have been made to the voice indicators that appear above agents' heads. Now it will be clearer who you can hear and who you cannot. The voice icon will now also be displayed if an ally is muted or has voice chat disabled. The icon will change if a group member is speaking in group voice chat. The team voice chat icon remains unchanged.

Bug Fixes

Agents

• Fixed an issue where unstable internet connections would prevent Iso's "Contract Kill" (X) walls from appearing.

Game Systems

• Full support for multi-channel formats like "surround sound" (e.g., 5.1 and 7.1) is now available. This will not affect the operation of the stereo mixer.

Premier

• References to team creation deadlines have been removed from the schedule. However, there are still some mentions of team creation deadlines that are no longer valid.

• Now, when a player has exhausted their weekly match limit, the queue join button displays the correct error message.
