The Summoner's Code Makes a Reference to the Now-Dead Refer-A-Friend System
Also, if you have friends who you think might be a good fit for the game and community, don't hesitate to shoot them an invite. Not only will you earn yourself some awesome swag, you'll have more friends you can call upon when you're having trouble flying solo.
The excerpt I have quoted comes from Section 5 of the Summoner's Code, Build Relationships. The statement I would like to focus on is, "Not only will you earn yourself some awesome swag..." I took this statement to refer to the Refer-A-Friend system that was just retired and thought it no longer fit. I could see the wording warped to imply the party rewards and such, however, it just doesn't sound correct to me with Refer-A-Friend gone.
This is just an F.Y.I. to Riot staff and I didn't really know where to put it and I also do not know if this was intentionally left this way or not.
