Minimap Improvements
[p]There are a few minimap improvements that are finally ready and will be implemented in V1.11.2. These two changes are tremendously helpful, giving you plenty of new information at a quick glance.[/p][p]First, we’re implementing one of the biggest requests when it comes to the minimap: a recall indicator. When a player is recalling, their character icon on the minimap will flash to let you know, so you can act accordingly.[/p][p][/p][p]Social Screen Improvements
[p]We’ve also implemented a few neat changes to the social screen and friends list. While in the main menu, you’ll be able to see more information about players on your Friends List, including:[/p]- [p]How long their current match has been running[/p]
- [p]Whether they’re in queue (and for which mode)[/p]
- [p]Whether they’re in a party (and if that party is full)[/p]
AFK and Punishment Changes
[p]In this patch, we’re making some tweaks to how we handle players going AFK.[/p][p]First, we’re expanding the early match-ending functionality to ARAM and Nitro when an AFK player is detected near the start of a match. This functionality is already in place for Standard and Ranked.[/p][p]We’re also increasing the severity of penalties for going AFK, dodging Ranked Draft, and declining to accept a Ranked match.[/p][p]We won’t be sharing the exact thresholds or trigger conditions to prevent abuse, but we want to ensure the best possible player experience - so players who choose to ruin it will receive increasingly stern bans.[/p][p][/p]Store News
