Players have long requested a replay system, and this patch finally lays the foundation for that feature. While still in its early stages, the ability to review matches is expected to reshape strategies and enhance learning across ranks. Just as impactful, though, is the massive wave of bot bans over 40,000 accounts have been permanently removed. Riot says the aim is to reduce in-game automation abuse and protect the integrity of competition.
