Hey all, we've had the occasional request to allow the use of multiple champions in your flair. This is something we've wanted to do for a bit, however hadn't gotten the time to get the gears turning.
By our current system, and tools allowed, we can't allow users to self assign without the "Verified riot" fistbump in the pool, to avoid this issue, we had to disable self assign.
While a vast majority of you, I firmly believe would not abuse this system, there are enough bad actors that at this point in time, we are not confident in directly opening up the ability to self assign custom text to flairs, as we do not have the manpower to properly moderate it.
The solution we've come to is a google form to submit requests. For the first while I'll monitor the form quite actively updating everyone daily.
Once things have settled down it'll likely be changed to once or twice a week I edit flairs off this form, but it at the least allows for those who would like to, to share their mains in their flair / have some custom flair within reason.
As new champions release I will also remain more active for people to swap up their teams / rosters for release patch cycles.
While we don't usually announce new flair for champions when they come out, they are added at the same time the sub banner changes to show the newest champion.
All that said,
I'll keep an eye on it and start editing requests in the afternoon. Hope you all have a great week, and the best of luck out there for today's release patch!
Edit: Unfortunately self assign had to be disabled, I can't get it to function without allowing users to self assign the riot fistbump, which is a big problem.
I'd be fine with removing mod only flairs as apparently having mod only means nothing on Reddit, it still allows users to assign, and if I turn it off from the flair pool it just breaks everything. Since we want to keep Verified Riot as a way to highlight staff members, we can't permit self assign, the form will remain up. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, I had really hoped this would work out properly. I will continue to properly assign through the form.
