Hey everybody, as you may have seen on the Music of League of Legends promo page, we've got a bit of a facelift coming for the login bar that sits at the top of most of our League sites.

Over the past couple years, we've expanded our web presence beyond LeagueofLegends.com. Though each of our sites serves a unique purpose, we could do a better job tying them together as a network. The new bar has links to all our major destinations: though this is a simple change, it's now much easier to move across League's web experiences. With these improvements to network navigation we're also paring down our navigational menus across the main areas of LeagueofLegends.com - in some cases removing them entirely or moving elements into the drop-down under your summoner name.

While we were considering other valuable additions to the login bar, we pulled the ticker into the redesign. You can now quickly spot-check server status updates from the web in situations where you might not be able to access the patcher or landing page.

You'll start to see the new login bar being rolled out over the coming weeks. Let us know what you think!

Right off do you know if it will extend to the Dev Blog or eSports website?

At first I was skeptical about this, and wondered if it would look weird. but it's not too bad, I actually kind of like it. So far, so good. =P Seems like a pretty neat feature

Will Boards notifications also find their way into the login bar?

These are some really cool changes! Question: We've been told that there is a problem with bigger lore entries due to technical issues with the webpage, can we also expect anything on that matter soon?

What's going on with the new "L" icon?

I saw it on the PBE ages ago, then nothing came of it. Now it's on the site but not the client?

What's up Riot?

So, the boards are being abandoned. Gotcha.

Looking great! I've got one question about this bar though. Since there is a PBE tab under profile are we going to be able to link our PBE accounts to our main accounts?

I think the information on the login bar should be centralized, as well as the LoL logo below it.

I hope we gonna still be able to open the champion/item page while being on boards (without mor "click"), it help if you want to have a quick look at some number when you are in a discussion.

For the moment, the lack of subsection in news is a bit weird too

cool butcant you please get on the more pressing matters at hand such as your immense amount of customer issues with the patch? Not even a single update or announcement has been made on that so plenty of people doubt your dev team knows wtf is going on... so please illuminate us on whats being done to fix this huge problem for thousands of people right now.

Will it be possible to reach the redtracker from the frontpage again? Right now it is either not possible or well hidden.
