League of Legends news » Emote changes in 8.12

Emotes have upped their game and have a few new tricks to show off in patch 8.12. Here’s what’s new:

We hear you and are smacking emote prices with the nerfbat. Since we normally try to communicate price changes two weeks in advance, we’re refunding the difference to anybody who purchased an emote for 450 RP in the last two weeks (May 29 at 12:01 a.m. PT – June 11 at 11:59 p.m. PT). This partial refund should appear in your account by June 26, 2018, and we’ll send you an email when it’s done.

As thanks for early emoters, you’ll receive an animated M’Pengu if you purchased any emotes before 8.12. He can also be crafted for five gemstones from June 26 – July 10.

For more information on the price change and our official refund policy, please see our Player Support FAQ.

Ever wish you could give a kissy-face to your precious toplaner for their crispy first blood, but you’re all the way over in bot lane? Emote bubbles show all emotes from teammates on the left side of the screen. You can disable this in the Settings menu if your friends get too excited.

Show ‘em how you feel without having to think. Slot in your best smile for automatic use on First Blood and Ace.

Sing the song of the Pengu: All emotes now include sounds.

You can now view, sort, and purchase emotes you don’t have from your collection.

Mystery emotes have freed themselves from bundle reign and are now available on their own. Mystery Emote Tokens (195 RP) will randomly award an unowned emote and will be periodically available in the store. They also drop previously purchasable event emotes that are otherwise unavailable! (But not the earnable emotes. People worked for those.)

Emotes older than six months have joined the regular skin sale schedule. Catch them in the League store with the other regular sales.
