New Summoner Icons have been added, as well as profile splash art customization.

Missions have also been added today, which you have until the end of June to complete. These missions can be views here.

Legends of Runeterra

Tyari The Traveler stars in the Everybody Gets Love! Emote, Poro Icons for flags (Rose Quartz Poro, Sapphire Poro, Catseye Poro, Obsidian Poro, Tanzanite Poro, Citrine Poro, Rainbow Poro), and an adorable new Guardian, Ellie the Elephant (below). The Poro icons are the same for Wild Rift, so check them out in the Wild Rift section!

The Legends of Runeterra LGBTQIA+ patch will drop on May 19th.

Teamfight Tactics

New pride-themed booms and Little Legends will be added, with the booms already available since May 12th via a mission. Just look for the Sun and Moon mission.

Wild Rift

Seven poro icons are being added, as well as a pride-themed home guard trail like in League of Legends. One of the two missions added in Wild Rift will reward you with all 7 Rainbow Poro Icons and the home guard trail. The requirement? Play a single game.

Merch

Merch themed with Pride imagery mixed with Riot Games references are now on sale, and 100% of the proceeds go to their partner in this endeavour, the It Gets Better Project, which focuses on making “things better for the LGTBQ+ youth around the globe”.

They have mugs, shirts, tank tops, hoodies, and more!

VALORANT

Details will be released in June.

This year’s Riot Games pride event looks to be a good one, and I look forward to participating.
