Competitive Updates[]

Starting in 11.09, accounts detected for sharing in NA, LATAM, BR, and KR, must enable Riot Mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access Competitive queue. Other modes will remain unaffected.
- You can check out this article for more information on why we’re making this change, or get yourself set up with MFA now using this how-to guide.
- Reminder to please report players for smurfing as Rank Manipulation. Your reports will help us level up our detections!
- And lastly, a quick reminder that all Ascendant+ players will be required to add Riot Mobile MFA to their accounts in the above regions in an upcoming patch.

Gameplay Systems Updates[]

We’re rolling out some small quality of life updates that should make it easier for you to perform the action you intend to in-game. Interactive objects are the focus of this patch, and this will cover everything your “Use Object” button will do—basically, anything where you press “F” on PC or Square/X on Console by default.

Interactive Object Highlighting - World interactions including Switches, Ropes, Ziplines and Ultimate Orbs have been updated to use the standard green highlight color that other interactive objects in the game use.
Interactive Object Prioritization - Aiming can now prioritize highlighted actions when multiple are possible. So now when you’re in a Deadlock GravNet next to a Rope, you’ll have more control over what you’re interacting with first.
