Will I level up since they said they are reducing the XP required to get to level 30 by half? Has any rioter commented on what will happen to current sub 30 accounts? Will someone who is level 29 and half to 30 just get 30 upon login?

You'll have to play a game before it checks your level, and my understanding (which might be flawed) is that you can only gain one level per game. So if you'll very quickly climb several levels to the exp level you're currently at. It checks if your exp is higher than the level up threshold and then increments your level. It will do that again next game, etc....

My understanding is that the grinding you did before won't be changed in any way. Can you imagine how confusing that would be to a new player, logging out one day, then suddenly you're level 30? Best to keep them at the same level and have future levels be less painful to obtain.
