Please contribute your thoughts! Link: Sub-30 Summoners and Featured Matches Thanks! —CupcakeTrap
Platinums and Diamonds As I have already mentioned in past posts, Diamond and Platinum skill tiers are now being treated as interchangeable and occupy the same slot. From now on, when giving the abbreviation for the skill tiers in the…
About Porkchop Porktalk Porkchop Porktalk is a new monthly newspaper talking about out-of-universe League news and some Factions related current events. Originally intended to be a different version of The Summoner’s Herald, sources suggested creating something separate. The point of…
I recently created a Boards topic concerning lore and community engagement. I feel that the Summoners involved in Factions likely have important things to say on this issue, so I thought I’d link it. Please consider sharing your 2g. Link:…
No More EUW Sadly, due to a lack of sign ups in the EUW region, featured matches will not continue there in the time being. Perhaps in the future if interest increases it can resume, but at the time being…

We’ve always had a sign-up thread on GD, but it’s (obviously) pretty noisy with sign-up posts, and it’s a bit lengthy. I’ve created a fresh thread with a much simpler presentation for Factions discussion on GD. Link: FACTIONS — Lore-focused…
