The Riot Games pride event kicks off today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOTB). They’re adding different things for each of their games.

League of Legends
Riot is bringing back the Rainbow Poro Icons, and adding different LGBTQIA+ themed home guard trails, which will be active until the end of June.
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!
RIOT Games
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.
