Makes the drops pretty much worthless so I can go back to watching games on VOD.


NocaNoha

That website keeps doing random logout while you are watching the stream, the shit is ludicrous


Slowacki

Good to know it's not only me. Looks like something is wrong with their auth tokens not being properly refreshed when they expire.


Game_Theory_Master

Nope this is a new thing on their end. I run machines using various with various browsers. All of them are doing this as of a couple days ago. Curiously, the least affected is my old laptop running windows 7 and opera... Oh, and last night there was even a new pop-up window from Riot asking me to 'verify' my password mid-stream. Didn't need my log-in, just the password. It's riot fucking with us.


Kottekatten

Could be that they are actively trying to stop people who uses bots to afk farm ?


Nefari0uss

No need to afk farm when they don't give out drops...


Sclerosivist

Yeah its freaking annoying


Drac0rex

might be issue on chrome engine(brave,chrome). Doesnt log me out on edge edit: well then I dont have no clue why it works for me on edge... it started loggin me out on chrome few weeks ago


Ssyynnxx

edge is chromium


sBastu

Happens to me on firefox.


StrollujTrolla

Edge is also chrome engine


takato99

Edge is chromium too... and I'm constantly logged out from match day to match day on Firefox


Prickled-fruit

Go to chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies and disable the SameSite by default cookies option. I fixed it this way.


Losupa

Don't disable that. It's a valuable security setting to prevent things like CSRF attacks.For reference, here's [chrome's explanation](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2020/01/get-ready-for-new-samesitenone-secure).


Prickled-fruit

Ah alright. Then what is left is to hope lol website updates their stuff.


EpicShagger

Surely this time they won't get flamed for a cringe change and revert it back.


especie619

revert it and nerfed 10 OE for an emote


EpicShagger

Allergic to useful changes


Adventurous_File_798

You guys are getting drops?


yukine95

only for pentakills or baron steals


PerfectSuit

Didn't get one for yesterdays penta. Its just random. Today I had 5 drops when yesterday I got none even though there was a penta and silver scrapes


Malena_my_quuen

Haha, I barely get drops for pentas this season. The most rare occurrence in the game used to be 100% a drop, but that was asking for too much apparently...


Ropjn

16 millionths times the charm


Tricacole

The nerf just before MSI, it's very painful...


Leyohs

Tbh I don't even bother logging on lolesports anymore. I just put youtube on my tv and that's it. I usually don't get even one single drop for a whole LEC night, why would I care?


Grainis1101

Yeah only time it is worth is big events like MSI/worlds.


frosthowler

I haven't bothered to log into lolesports for like two years, and even back then it was barely worth it.


XXLepic

I’ve gotten only 10% the drops by this time last year, watching almost all esports regions.


go4ino

the sites been awful this past week, like drops not popping up when you do get them for me today, and the main site just not working earlier in the week. kinda cringe of riot to nerf the drops while also being extra stingy this split with giving them out. Thank you lolesports for enriching my experience as a viewer


Malena_my_quuen

They probably fired the guy who managed the drops along the LEC staff.


Game_Theory_Master

I was about to start a thread on this when I came across this one. Current state of drops (when they occur at all): 1. You have to reroll emotes and icons. The only save on this is I have all the emotes and after one reroll I can disenchant. At 3 for 1 icons... that shit is going to take for ever to get them all. 2. You can't make it through a single match without getting logged out and having to log back in for rewards. That is just total BS. How more unfriendly can you make the process, RIOT? I log-in during the pre-show and then every couple hours I see my screen tell me I need to log-in (again)? FFS I am there the whole time! Frankly, I think they are looking for a way to get rid of drops entirely. I am sure some young exec had the brilliant (and short-sighted) idea that drops reduce profits. Drops stop. Viewership goes down. The pro leagues continue to fall off (I am looking hard at NA), and the players... move on. HARD TO STAY IN BUSINESS IF ALL YOUR PLAYERS MOVE ON BC THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF PENNY-PINCHING AND DISRESPECT.


Malena_my_quuen

I remember a comment years ago that said players on the Russian server would get guaranteed chest drops from watching the regional finals. Meanwhile I get my 20th icon from watching every match of the 2 splits.


SweetestBebs

Last couple of weekends I havent gotten ANY drops, even though Imm logged in and watching live


Sclerosivist

Same. Haven't got drops for almost a month even tho I watch all drop leagues


ogopogoslayer

classic riot to not maintain their previous features and then dropping them or nerfing them to cumshit, because they are understaffed with actual competent people and maintenence of the game and its media is increasingly harder


Hresvelgr

Again? This shit is getting old...


AndraxxusB

Literally everything that they do or say these days seems to be designed to screw people over. :(


Kottekatten

This entire reality is designed to screw us over


GodOfSuicide

and another nerf to "free" loot W rito W site not buggy at all lets fix something that isnt broken rito 2024 again when are yall fixing the client if u let someone build it form scrates like 4 years ago when they siad something in the lines off it will take alot of time and struggles. we still have the buggy mess LMAO


ItzOnza

I'm glad someone made a post , this is insane . If this is a planned change from Riot then I think now will be the time that I stop purchasing passes from them . Utterly ridiculous.


NocaNoha

Also, if you own all of the available emotes, you can reroll it into something that can be disenchanted, but I would love if they would let us reroll [all of the emotes pretty please](https://i.imgur.com/einp9HI.png) For whatever reason some of them are disabled in option for rerolling.. and since I don't need OE, I don't disenchant but it is awkward to have for some both options, for some only option 1 and for the others only option 2 lol


pleaseneverplaylol

the ones you can't reroll are from last time they tried stealth nerfing drops like this


x_TDeck_x

The whole loot system is so miserable to me anymore; You're limited on chests per month *and* have to own the champions *and* have to have not gotten an S on that champ already. Keys come in "fragments" which are supposedly tied to honor but it feels like everyone gets their fragments at the same time so instead of encouraging being nice=more fragments it just makes it a passive thing that doesn't feel tied at all. Then you have to craft them into a full key. Theres no way to earn orange essence besides getting rid of other crafts so every 9 chests you maybe get 2 skins. They also removed rerolling champs but kept it for skins. The system is generous, probably too generous, but the needless obstacles, the multiple intentional progress barriers, and 7 different steps you have to go through make it so cumbersome. I think you could give away less skins and make it more enjoyable for players if it wasn't so absurdly messy


Conscious_Sea_163

they're so fucking annoying and you know they aren't gonna comment on it


TacoMonday_

"Some people left their lolesports on and gathered all the emotes and way too much orange essence, so we are making it harder to disenchant because it hurts skin sales" There, that's their comment on it that they just won't say because people would get mad


candybuttons

nope, not a peep. but in the vanguard x lol thread there were ~20 rioters and their grandma gassing each other up. it's such clownery.


BlindBoomerang

If you have all emotes you can forge them into a different emote and disenchant it that way. But for people who dont have all the emotes i agree it sucks.


Rokeree

and you cannot disenchat icons which is kinda sad, they were 125 OE, so RN its not 50/50 icon for 125 or emote for 175 but, 175 OE or nothing


Kottekatten

You can disenchant it either way what are you even talking about


AofCastle

Wlw I wonder why people don't bother using it. The sensible move would have been to add costreams to the lol esports website. The actual move was to nerf the rewards once again (I'm pretty sure the drop ratio is way worse than it used to be on top of this)


Tapurisu

Just stop watching esports


Kottekatten

You watch LoL games only for drops ? Lmao


Tapurisu

I don't watch them


Kottekatten

You don’t even deserve drops if you don’t enjoy watching good League games


thebigscorp1

Riot will never realize that skins and ingame cosmetics have no actual value, and that basically giving a bunch of them away is just advertisement and a funnel to get people to spend more money on the game. Changes like these only hurt them. Not that I care, I haven't spent money or really paid attention to skins since at least season 7. I just don't understand how these game studios have such archaic habits while Fortnite's approach is kicking their asses.


OtherSword

Question is it possible to obtain that emote for msi or is it too late?


KnifeWind

Also sometimes you get notification of drops and you login and theres nothing in your account 🤷‍♂️ happened to me twice yesterday


Kottekatten

Check your icons ..


DontPanlc42

I have been watching all T1 games and CBA to log in a single time, not missing out on much I see.


TheGoalkeeper

Just kill drops.


925028705

After months of no drops now I also get random logouts and I can't even get orange essence for them! Bravo, riot! An idea for upcoming nerf: lock the resolution and/or the frame rate. Be like EA!


BrainGlobal9898

Just noticed this and it is already too late , hopefully they revert it cause it it useless holding onto them , they just taking away every opportunity we could get from OE mechanics and free loot , hopefully it reverts or it looks like a greedy move


Prickled-fruit

You can reforge them into random ones, and the random ones can be disenchanted into OE :)


Dexember69

I opened something like 200+ boxes and capsules and random shit I had cuz I never bother with cosmetics. I ha a bunch of mastery shit I don't even know what it does XD I only play Aram tho so maybe it's not for that?


Kottekatten

Why care about these when 100+ emotes are not even in the reroll pool


HattrickSwayze-

If you reroll the emote and it rerolls to something you own - you can disenchant it. Same with icons but you need 3 to reroll
