Universe Update

The Universe was updated with a new Sett color story - Big Head, Bad News:
"“Who’s watchin’ the till?” I ask. 
Sherap—the stick of a man taking weapons at the door—looks at me with bug eyes, scared he’s done somethin’ wrong. 
“Ryo. Ryo’s on the till tonight,” he says. 
“Get two more on it,” I tell him. 
It’s a big night—lot of spenders. Last thing I need is some lowlife makin’ off with the profit. 
Sherap scurries off. A couple seconds later he comes back with two of my heaviest hitters. After they join Ryo at the coin box, I check back on the action in the arena. The place is packed, crammed to the doors with nobodies, somebodies, and everyone in between—people with nothin’ much in common, except a hankering for blood. And they’re about to get it."

Here's the full art featured in the story:

Diana and Leona's biographies were also tweaked, check them out over on the Universe:

Miscellaneous

  • Riot Mort noted a change to the TFT Beta bass, lowering the amount of points it takes to get to the final reward:
"TFT - The final egg is meant to be a tough reward to get for our most engaged TFT fans...but 20,000 was a bit much. We've now lowered it to 16,000. Good luck with your goals! (And yes, more missions are coming)"
 
"Your semi-weekly dose of server problem-os, NA League news, and other! 
2019 has ended, and 2020 is just starting. We’ve got a fresh new patch incoming, start of the new season, and a bunch of “It’s 2020 where’s new news riot” memes as well. 
Follow-Ups:
  • Mac voice still not working properly Bug grouped with other Mac bugs. More .plist fun (No progress since last check).
Ongoing
  • None
Server Stuff:
  • Custom Player game minimum set to 10(12/15, ~92 minutes) NOC is notified by automated alerting that CPU usage across game servers is approaching warning limits. To ensure the limit isn’t exceeded, the NOC sets custom games to a minimum of 10 players, alleviating the load slightly. Once the CPU usage falls back to normal levels, the NOC re-enables practice tool and removes all ticker updates.
  • CPU Mitigation Steps(12/15, ~92 minutes) Reports filter in that the CPU usage is above the ideal threshold. In response, the NOC disables the practice tool, sets minimum custom players to 10 per game, and starts throttling non-ranked queues. Once the CPU usage falls below the red line, the NOC returns all queues to normal.
Game Stuff:
  • TFT Elemental Pass rewards 10 and 11 disappeared from TFT Tab(12/30, ~13 hours) Player Support notifies the NOC about reports regarding battlepass 10 and 11 not being available for TFT. Escalation and notification of the appropriate team finds the missions were set to expire at the wrong time. The missions are changed to expire appropriately, fixing the problem.

We ended last year on a high with the news that the LCS is the third most popular major sports league among 18-34 year olds in the US. We’ve been busy preparing for the upcoming competitive season and excited to share some of what we’ve been working on with all of you.
