Riot Games to introduce standardised rules for League of Legends

Riot Games took to its website to announce new, standardised rules for League of Legends.

The changes were designed to “look at how we [Riot] approach setting and enforcing rules, why we believe they’re important to the health of the league, and what new measures we’ll be taking to streamline the process in 2016”.

Three initial changes are as follows:

  • Penalty index: To create consistency and set clear expectations around penalties, we are releasing a “penalty index,” or list of common offenses and their associated penalties, to make penalties more predictable and transparent.
  • Penalty tracker: We will be maintaining a public-facing penalty tracker which will keep track of all penalties levied during the LCS season.
  • Increased dialogue with pro players and owners: We’re ramping up our efforts to incorporate more dialogue with pro players and owners into the LCS disciplinary process and structure.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
