I played like 3 or 4 games with friends and now I have the Animal badge?

I need this for my friend because sometimes hes a boosted animal in game.

simple:

in their attempt to make "playing with friends" more common RIOT has decided to show people that other people are playing with friends.

therefore the animal badge is super easy to achieve, whereas the skilled badge is difficult.

Yeah but I want my solo badge back m80.

I hope it comes back after this next game.

The only thing that the solo badge indicates is that you have no friends. But apparently you have friends, so you get the friends badge.

riot has spoken, that you need pretty much 90% of your games as solo to not have a "boosted" badge lol. so you will have to win the upcoming 22-25 games to get back solo badge.

they want the solo badge to be for people who solo exclusively, so you need like 22 or 23/25 wins.
