Brazilian Riot team fails to release snowdown chest

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 05:44 AM PST

There are many reports of players buying wrong content due to "daily theme" topic being updated hours after the start of another theme. There are also reports about unknown named snowdown chest, which caused confusion.
In the fire theme day (NA was correctly updated), it was informed in their official brazilian support page that snowdown theme was up. I bought two chests and got two fire theme skins.
This issue repeated with other themes.
The support does not recognizes these fails and denies to repair.

I'm guessing even Riot forgot about this one because Fiora still has her pre rework visuals on it and if my guess is correct, it's even recorded on Crystal Scar </3

New AMD Crimson drivers introduce latency (ping spikes and packet loss) in LoL. Solution inside.

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 05:27 AM PST

What the hell?
I downloaded the new ReLive Crimson 16.12.1 drivers a couple of days ago and noticed terrible lag spikes in League of Legends. I initially dismissed it as my WiFi fucking up (it does that sometimes). I fidgeted with the settings, reset my wireless card and restarted the modem. The problems persisted.
The next day didn't change anything (I was hoping maybe it was something my ISP was doing), so I started troubleshooting. Checked my firewall settings, hard-reset the modem and even ran Riot's Hextech Repair Tool. Nothing helped.
The only change I had made to my system in the previous days was installing the new Crimson drivers, but how could graphics drivers mess with latency? Seems impossible. I checked the networking logs via via Riot's log inspector. This is what my connection looked like during games:
As you can see, the difference in quality is insane. The amount of packets lost after installing 16.12.1 drivers is so big, it makes the game unplayable.
Playing with high ping is a struggle, but a player can get used to the delay. On the other hand, playing with variable ping is a completely nightmarish. The game becomes inconsistent. It freezes, then accelerates to then slow down and maybe play normally for a while. It completely messes up the experience.
With 16.12.1 installed, I had a baseline ping of about 40-50ms with sudden spikes to 70-100ms every couple of seconds and huge spikes to 180-240ms every 10-15 seconds or so.
I still couldn't believe that this could be caused by a graphics driver, but today I ran out of options. I ran a test game on 16.12.1 for the last time to establish a baseline and got this:
Then I uninstalled the drivers using AMDs Cleanup Utility. I ran the game without installing any driver at all. The framerates were horrible, of course. I had to turn down all the settings to low and I was still only getting 5-7 fps on this potato friendly game.
Because of the constant stuttering it was hard to determine if the ping had improved while in game, but by looking at the ping counter, it looked like the lag spikes were gone. Inspecting the log after six minutes of low framerate torture confirmed this:
Encouraged by the result, I downloaded the previous, 16.9.2 drivers and took the game for a spin:
The game was smooth as all hell. No more lag spikes. No more freezes. It was back to normal.
Until AMD fixes the drivers, the
onlysolution is installing the previous version (16.9.2), which is a bummer, since the new drivers added some really cool features (like ReLive for background recording of games).
TL;DR: If you're having lag spikes in League of Legends (and possibly other games) after installing the new ReLive drivers, you can go back to a previous version of the drivers to fix it.

EDIT | A simple workaround by /u/Szaby59 (confirmed working) from /r/AMD

Remove or rename the
C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext\Bearer
folder and it will fix the latency issues. You will loose the streaming function in Relive though (local recording to files still works).
Additional workaround with streaming+latency fix: https://community.amd.com/thread/209327

H2K Rich on Selfie getting 'Kicked' from Misfits

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 11:01 AM PST

https://gyazo.com/291936bee92039809686506be2cc063d
Wonder why he was kicked.
Screenshot taken from Rich's askFM
EDIT: Selfie was apparently kicked by manager Alicus because there was some kind of argument.
Before speculation that it might have been justified, worth noting that this manager is 24 years old and claims to have 4 years of 'Corporate management experience' and 'quit his job in REAL ESTATE to pursue esports'. http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/Alicus
Seems like Misfits may have some management issues..
