You asked for looser restrictions on gifting so we’re relaxing them across the board. From now on, these changes will be in effect on all content and RP gifting.

Content Gifting (skins, champions, rune pages, icons, ward skins, Mystery)

  • To send a gift, you must be at least level 10 (was level 15)
  • To receive a gift, you must be at least level 1 (was level 5)
  • You can only send up to 10 gifts (was 5 gifts) each day
  • You can receive up to 10 gifts (was 5 gifts) each day
  • You can’t receive gifts if you’re banned or suspended
  • The player receiving a gift needs to have been on your buddy list for at least 1 day (was 2 weeks)
  • The player receiving a Mystery gift must have at least 10 eligible content options (doesn’t apply to icons and ward skins)

RP Gifting

  • To receive RP, you must be at least level 1 (was level 10)
  • To send RP, you must be at least level 15 (was level 20)
  • You can only send up to 5 RP gifts (was 3 RP gifts) every 24 hours
  • You can only receive up to 5 RP gifts (was 3 RP gifts) every 24 hours
  • You can’t receive RP if you’re banned or suspended
  • The player receiving RP needs to have been on your buddy list for at least 1 day (was 2 weeks)

Could we get any insight as to why the rules were more stringent before, and why they're being relaxed now? Not complaining, I'm just interested.

"To receive RP, you must be at least level 1 (was level 10)"

But... What if I'm not level 1 yet? Amumu

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GIFT CHAMPS WITH IP PLEASE. I have a growing amount of ip and it just keeps getting larger in between champion releases. I have all the runes i need for the time being i own everyone, and i would just absolutely dig it if i could gift my friends some champions.

"The Player receiving a Mystery gift must have at least 10 eligible content options".

This rule is great for curbing people from making smurf accounts, only buying champs that have a lot of uncommon "no longer available" skins, getting all those rare skins through mystery gifting and then selling that account on ebay for a profit. BUT... kinda screws over people that own all the champions and have less than 10 skins left to obtain.

Sure this probably only applies to a VERY tiny handful of people, but these people are your BIGGEST supporters and at the end of the day help keep your lights on. Don't penalize them because others take advantage of the system.

I've brought this up to Riot before, and they haven't provided any solution other than to speak up in the forums and try to get support. I doubt I will get any (I can hear the "First world problem" comments coming).

Regardless... here I am, and this is my concern.

Have at it.
