Literally the only thing I care about here is the hope of Champies returning, but that might be a pipe dream.
Champies will return! We have many currently in development - but the timing of BEE's return will determine how many new ones make it into the shop!
Thoughts on making a bigger emote wheel?
We're definitely looking at all of this! No extra stuff to share, but we've talked about it before! https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/10bq898/comment/j4dkud6/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
There's quite a few fun ones.. but then again we still have 5 damn slots
Riot? More emote slots? Emote slot pages? Emote slot linking to a certain champ?
Imagine you could even add it to the pointless BE expense where we buy additional Emote pages to have sets of emotes ready to go. Hell you could probably even make 2-3 hotkeys for individual emote circles if not expanding the one we have.. similar as it is with pings
I seriously thought the pinging update will bring the one for emotes as well.. eh

First emote I will have ever purchased. LFG.
We feel super honored that you like them so much!
I appreciate Riot having RIGs for their minorities, but did you really need to name them Riot Noir and Rainbow Rioters?
We chose the name Rainbow Rioters. There were a lot of other names in consideration back in the day, but this one felt best. We used to be called LGBTQIA+ @ Riot and that wasn't the easiest thing to say over and over haha
I know this will be lost in a sea of comments, but in the case that any Rioter sees this: thank you. This genuinely made me giddy. It's kind of embarrassing, but I've been playing League since I was about 9 or 10, and Graves was always a little crush young me had, back when I was still afraid and in the closet. Now, as an adult, seeing him be confirmed to be a gay man genuinely made me feel good, seems like it "healed" a little part of me.
We see you and many of us feel the same way. Thank you for sharing <3
“I think we’re sa—” said Goby, exploding
I love this story
F in the chat for Goby
Holy shit. Riot really said that they're gonna make the dumbest mlm couple imaginable. I knew they were disasters but I'm in love.
I also love our disaster gays <3
We love Biofrost <3
she said, “Not yet.”
And Leona kissed me.
And I kissed Leona.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
<3
Pride cosmetics in all games. You love to see it.
Hi! I work on the LGBTQIA+ team at Riot. Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm glad you enjoy the content :D
You all better damn well know I'm spamming that emote every game when I get it 💋
Same <3
Calling anything that has a rainbow on it "corporate pandering" is absolutely not fair. It delegitamizes the hard work that LGBT people are doing in riot to make things like this happen.
they're making good merch, that people actually want
they're making good loot available for free in all of their games, all of which is absolutely incredible
they're releasing in-universe content and lore that is LGBT
they're donating proceeds to LGBT organizations
This isn't coke putting a rainbow on a logo. This is people who care making things for other people who care.
Don't get me wrong, there are things to criticize (Varus STILL needs his VO update after 3 years), but calling anything cooperate pandering is just not fair to the work that's going into it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. A lot of the Rioters behind this event are LGBTQIA+ Rioters and our intent is to represent our community as best we can with things we hope they love.
You're a hundred percent right that we have more we could improve on and we'll always be striving to top ourselves year over year. So keep the feedback coming. What are other things (beside's Varus' VO) that you'd love to see?
Keep up all the good work! It's so nice to not only see these in League but across all the games is so cool! I mostly play Legends of Runeterra now a days, but I'll be rocking all the new stuff the there. Maybe next year we can get some Pride card backs?
Will definitely pass the idea on to the Legends of Runeterra team. Would love on to match my Guardian :P
Will this be on the turkish server too?
Content is live on the Turkish servers!
I'm so happy the Diana/Leona emote is from a mission! I really wanted it. I'm also really digging the ward icon for the shirts.
We wanted to make sure the content was as accessible as possible, hence the choice to go forward with missions. Glad you like it!
i just wanted to say that you guys are doing a great job
<3 Honestly, I read a lot of bad comments related to being LGBTQIA+. Comments like these that are so simple and nice mean so much. I agree that we're not perfect, but we're trying and I think we do genuinely get better year over year.
Hey there! Our team is technically an Employee Resource Group (ERG). ERGs are groups of employees who join together in their workplace based on shared characteristics or life experiences. The business benefits from hearing our diverse perspectives and in turn employees are heard and changes are made for the better.
Almost all large companies have ERGs including Google, Disney, Amazon etc...
Hope that helps!
Honestly, thank yall for this. I've always loved the rainbow trail and icon and now there are more goodies across every game that actually look way better than before. It's a bit emotionally overwhelming to see your identity being displayed as a controversial topic in a time of celebration. I can't wait to see what you all have in store for us in the years to come 💖
