Systems and Bug Fixes

New player experience

• During a player’s first few games, new players might see bots (don’t worry, they’re the good kind) in their non-ranked games. These bots will adapt to their skill, providing a more gradual onramp to League of Legends
• Players will only see these bots in their first few games of normal queues. Players WILL NOT encounter them in any queue after their first few normal games
• Established players of League won’t see any changes unless they queue with a new player
• Our goal is to improve the learning process and help new players learn and discover the fun that League has to offer. Depending on what we learn from the initial regional launch, we will continue to iterate on an experience that best supports new player learning and growth and evaluate expansion to more regions and other non-ranked use cases later on
