Sometime in the next few patches, we will remove support and the ability to manually opt for DirectX 9 for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. To maintain the stability and performance of our games we need to deprecate support for older hardware or software that isn’t widely used by players anymore. If you’re still opted into using DirectX 9, the client will automatically turn off this option when we remove the support. However, if you were running it due to hardware reasons we recommend resolving that before we make this change so that you can continue playing when it’s removed.

What trouble has Pengu found themselves in this time—and who will come to their aid? Check-in on Pengu and Co with our latest cinematic!

INKBORN FABLES PASS CHAPTER 1

NEW RANKED SEASON

New set, new ranked season!

• When Inkborn Fables goes live in your region, or after you download the latest mobile patch, you can start climbing
• Depending on your rank in the previous season, you will start anywhere from Iron II to Bronze IV. This is true for both Double Up and Standard ranked.
• You will get 5 provisional matches after the reset, meaning you will not lose any LP for sub-top 4 placements in your first 5 ranked games of the new stage. You'll also gain extra LP for finishing top 4, so best of luck!
• Your Hyper rating will be reset to 500
• Note that there’s still a 24h period of delay between mobile and PC going live
• Mobile players who have not gotten the new set in their region won't be able to climb the ladder on the old set anymore

Seasons change, systems change, but I’ll always be there for you.

---

ENCOUNTERS

For full details on our new mechanic be sure to check out our fabled (& favorite) author’s piece on the mechanic! But for now, here’s a TL;DR.

• Throughout your adventure into Inkborn Fables you’ll meet powerful spirits who will change your game in a variety of ways. There are over 80 unique Encounters, and you’ll see anywhere from two to five of them each game, so regardless of which legendary spirits you come across, expect each game of Inkborn Fables to feel like a unique journey.
• Encounters can be anything from small bonuses (rerolls, gold, or an extra component on a carousel) to transformative ones that dramatically change how the game will be played. Regardless of their gifts, rule changes, or offered choices, all players always get the same Encounter!
• Encounters have a variety of rarities, so expect some to be less common than others, with the most game-changing ones being more rare. Regardless of rarity, you’ll never Encounter the same spirit multiple times, even if that spirit has multiple Encounter options.
• Once an Encounter has happened, though, you can always find a summary of it in the new Encounter Panel, which will also show you which choices other players have made while scouting them.

---

LEVELING

We’re making it slightly easier to hit level 9 to encourage the leap more. This should be a slight nudge more than anything else.

• Level 8 to 9 XP: 80 ⇒ 72

---

SHOP ODDS

We’re using the new set as an opportunity to sharpen Level identities, with Level 7 being the level you stay at to star-up your 3-costs, and Level 8 being the same for 4-costs. Note that Level 9 has a 35% drop rate per slot for 4-costs (where you’d want to be if you were truly trying to 3-star a 4-cost).

• Level 7: 19/35/35/10/1% ⇒ 19/30/40/10/1%
• Level 8: 18/25/36/18/3% ⇒ 18/25/32/22/3%

---

CAROUSEL

Spatulas on Carousels (Shared Draft) are powerful comeback mechanics (perhaps too powerful), but they also enable access to Prismatic tier traits that should be reserved for the rare and highlight moments that they are. We’re toning down on spatulas from Carousels both to preserve these highlight moments but also to decrease the reliability of loss-streak into Spatula strategies.

• The odds of seeing Spatula on a carousel have been reduced

---

NEW AND RENAMED PORTALS

We’ve got some exciting new Portals and the Gold Start Portal all entering the mix for Inkborn Fables. I dare you to play Fortune in Lethal Legends.

We’ve also gone through our existing Portal roster and updated their names to be less Remix Rumbly.

• Multi-Talented
• Showtime
• Training Dummy
• Unit Accelerator
• Augment Payout
• Item Payout

SUPPORT ITEMS

Needlessly Big Gem is difficult to use and unwieldy to carry…it is needlessly big. The Gem’s gold generation was hard and inconsistent to proc early (when it’s most impactful) as some fights don’t even last 15 seconds. We’re removing the gold generation aspect in favor of the item being an item version of Ascension, perfect for comps with a strong frontline that have trouble finishing out the fight!

Zz’Rot's old taunt caused a lot of problematic pathing. So we removed it! But without it, the item became an unclickable option, so we got creative. We're now letting the Voidspawn be movable during the planning phase so that you can better position it to tank for your team and allow this cute little void bug to benefit from Augments and Trait auras. This is a big buff for a lil’ bug.

• Needlessly Big Gem’s gold generation has been removed
• Needlessly Big Gem Bonus Damage after 15 seconds: 30% ⇒ 40%
• Zz’Rot Portal now spawns the Voidspawn during the planning phase
• Zz’Rot Portal is now a Unique item
• Zz’Rot Portal Voidspawn Stage Health Scaling: 1000/1300/1600/2000 (Stage 2-5) ⇒ 1000/1500/2000/2500/3000 (Stage 2-6)
• Zz’Rot Portal Voidspawn Stage AD Scaling: 80/105/130 (Stage 3-5) ⇒ 80/115/150/180 (Stage 3-6)

Small, like the LP gained from running a Zz’Rot Voidspawn carry. I’ll run Dragonlord for the AS, a few Heavenly units for the stats, I’ll hit a few support items like Zeke’s and Aegis to buff the lil’ guy up. No one can stop me now!

ITEMS

Previously when you used an item remover on a Thief’s Gloves or sold the unit equipped with the items it would give you new Thief’s Gloves items. Now, the items will persist for the round no matter how many times you unequip and re-equip.

• Thief’s Gloves, Radiant Thief’s Gloves, Blacksmith’s Gloves: Items rolled per glove are now persistent across a combat round, even when moving the Thief’s Gloves around. If you have Lucky Gloves, it is instead persistent per champion.

• Stacks on stacks: Loot orbs are now less likely to stack on top of each other.
• Masterwork Upgrade can no longer be used to pop an item off mid-combat.
• Several Booms containing erroneous black rings on explosion have been fixed. The fix was so massive that it was split between 6 patches, spanning back to 13.24 - and now fully released with 14.6.
• The following Chibis don't have long trail VFX when doing quick scouts: Kai’Sa, Ahri, Mecha Malphite, Teemo, and Zed.
