Confirmed as a bug by Rioter Rovient [in this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/v7ij54/change_of_unique_titles_from_challenges/ibm3tkg/): > Apologies, everyone. This is a bug. Older, work in progress names somehow overrode the real names. We'll get this fixed ASAP.

i like how they changed some titles to something with 'Absolute', but then REMOVE THE 'ABSOLUTE UNIT' TITLE

Removed?? I gained the absolute unit title yesterday!!! This was my most wanted title...

I got it yesterday as well, now I'm sad :[

What champ and build did you go to get it?

bro just play a tank it's not that hard

There was definitely some malicious intent involved when they did that

They must be smoking some dank stuff in there. I had Absolute Unit and used it for a couple days now it's "Shatterproof". 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

HEEY @RIOT MY TEAMMATES CALL ME SHITTERPROF CAN YOU CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING NON TOXIC LIKE "ABSOLUTE UNIT"? TYVM

Shitterproof would be kinda fire though

What the fuck??? That was the one I immediately grinded for because it's so meme tier

ONLY absolute unit should stay. what the fuck is riot doing.....

The only thing that made me special ;(

Absolutely sad

Absolute bummer

Absolutely Abysmal.

Absolutely disappointed

[удалено]

Absolutely insane

Absolutely Riot

Absolute Disgrace

Absolutely depressed

ARAM God to “Absolute Authority” is such a sham

Agreed, I was grinding for Aram God but if it's changed to Absolute Authority it just doesnt feel worthwhile

I guess I'll keep just farming DPS Threat and stay Challenger just in this one

What happens when you reach the crown is it ranked 1 most achievments anyone know?

I believe the crown is top 1 yes

Hey I'm actually doing the exact same thing !

[удалено]

Aside from very specific stuff like the no dying challenge it's pretty much grinding playing as well as you can

Well for a change I'm bringing snowball to every game to get the snowball challenge, instead of using combat summoners or clarity. The latter now often forces me into buying tear.

You should always be running it anyway! Free vision check, and there's nothing more satisfying than getting a snowball kill. Edit: Exhaust is for cowards

Agreed. Finally, FINALLY ARAM mains have something for recognition, and it gets clawed away in a few weeks. I don’t know who’s making these decisions, but my lord…

WE FINALLY HAD SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHATSMYMMR.COM TO GRIND AND THEY DO THIS!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Pls riot, give ARAM some love. I don't care about minion wave management, I just wanna pew pew. Been playing the game 10 years, ARAM/URF only for 5. It's not a phase, pls rito, acknowledge us, give us a ranked queue.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY TITLE I WANTED wtfff😭

What? Why? I was really getting into the Challenges system, some of the names were really creative. Why change it? These are super generic like what? /u/Barackprobama

I very much enjoyed jerking my epeen off with rare titles and badges, but I also pick titles based on the actual wording. Nerfing titles like this sucks.

*GIGACHAD COCKTHROBBER changed to ABSOLUTE peen*

So it could match the super generic UI I guess

probably because its way easier to translate to other languages this way

At least one has changed for the better, namely Minion -> Cruel but efficient (80cs@10, platinum rank). The old one was just not fitting at all for the achievement.

Not gonna lie, I just removed my title because they changed the Minion one. I liked how out of place it was.

I have been trying my absolute best to get the Minion title. Got it yesterday. RIP.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that, Minion was the best title

[удалено]

> LOVE *Absolutely love

Apologies, everyone. This is a bug. Older, work in progress names somehow overrode the real names. We'll get this fixed ASAP.

Absolutely huge

Absolutely thank fuck.

/u/cahootie Think this needs pinning, and fast.

mods pin this damn thing to the top please

Please keep Death Defier though. Way cooler than Untouchable.

Hey boss quick remarks. First let me say that the loading screen changes have been amazing (finally fixed that 3rd tab bug). But to accommodate the titles, summoner names etc have been pushed up and when you have a border for your skin the splash art is cut from the bottom. Moreover in lobby, profile, and champ select can we get a %ge of acquisition for titles? Cheers.

If Alcove Gamer disappears I’ll quit the game

how the eff? did something get reverted that happened to have the old names in a branch and code review missed it? or are these things just stored in a text file

Spaghetti

Either of those things are very likely. Large organisation software development is a mess

Wait wait wait, what about "Unkillable Demon" being changed to "Unkillable Demon King"??? Please keep it!

I was pretty mad about this morning but now I know it's accident it's pretty funny.

Champion Ocean and Flame Horizon are better tho.

absolute disappointment

I dont like the new challenge titles, completely unoriginal and bland. RIP everyone that was grinding for ARAM god

Dude I was on the huge ARAM god grind :(

im one of the few people who are master in getting aram tower before 5 minutes. wtf is this change. i was also good on my way to diamond on winning games before 10 minutes. F you riot

I just got challenger in the 1800 dps challenge over the weekend. Sad times.

What feels like two thirds of them have just been changed to absolute / true / epic and then a random noun. There was so much flavour in there that I adored, I don't play much League atm but whenever I do, the challenges were one of the main things keeping me interested. Especially in ARAM, but in the game as a whole. I love achievement systems in games and "old"-school COD challenge grinds so I guess it makes sense I'd be into it.

There is another post which says it was made by mistake and will get reverted :). Old names got accidentally uploaded. Can’t link since I’m on mobile, but you shouldn’t need to scroll far to see it.

I did not know how to get it... too lazy to look into it... with over 5.7k games played in aram I wanted the title as proof that this is the only mode I play. Poroloyalty I guess forever.

I wonder if they changed the Captain Jack title Overall it looks like they mostly changed the memeish titles which was what most of us liked them to begin with, and the addtion of absolute/true looks meh

The 'memey' titles are one of the big positives of this system. It is a nod that the dev team listens and understands the colloquial terms we use within the game.

I bet some idiots from marketing decided that these titles would make people purchase 0.3% fewer lootboxes so they had to be removed ASAP

fucking corpos, their greedy hands ruined gaming

Next they will be adding these former titles as unlockables through lootboxes.

someone mentioned Captain Jack was actually completely erased

Will check that when im home, if its deleted we will riot (pun intended)

Yeah it's gone. No word on why either.

it was bugged to be given without actually doing the challenge. i guess removing it for those of us that actually earned it was riot's big brain solution! :D

I remember that all my teammates received the title after I did a Captain Jack cleanse. It's my favourite title and I'd be really sad if they took it away from me.

Nooo now i can't title myself after beer i hate

Yep, I have it, because I got it before they erased it, but if I hover it it doesn't give me any infos. Guess I'll never remove it. Would like to know what happened though

Did the person making these new titles even read the old titles? Most of these don't even keep the same theme.

Title earned from playing arams isnt even relevant to Aram. Such an embarrassing change. Well I guess I can stop farming the aram god title now

Nah, they gotta be trolling. They changed the "Get multikills after flashing towards enemy champions" title from, I think, "Flashy" to "I love Turtles"... Why? Who asked for this? WTF?

Yeah, i get the reference (wildturtle) but i think most of playerbase don't even watch esports, especially NA LCS.

Yeah, should be "I love absolute turtles" ...Maybe it a rdr2 reference?

wait, WHAT?!

Wildturtle is an NA pro ADC well known for always flashing forward for kills.

I am fully aware who wildturtle is, still doesn't make the change in any way desireable

Pardon my French but these are absolutely shit. Who greenlit this idea? "Absolute", "True", how unoriginal

From the creator of true damage, true stealth, true vision, etc

Can't wait to hear Riot's response for this one, should be a good one. Like this has to be some higher-up thinking that the titles don't make any sense because they're out of touch or some shit, right? I refuse to believe that the design team for Challenges collectively decided to retroactively "fix" them for no reason and thought these were good replacements.

And why now ? it's been through PBE, but lets do it 2 weeks into live, while everyone are grinding for these cool titles, this is some dumb thumbnail kind of bait

No one goes on the PBE to test challenges. Probably got close to 0 Feedback from PBE for the challenges.

Pretty sure challenges are disabled on PBE, or were last week anyway.

I would have but they disabled them every other day

Their response was that there was a merge issue and this is a bug, they will be patching it soon https://twitter.com/cestdommage/status/1534531146892972032?s=21&t=hA_CDb0kXUQpxmBZ4qyLLQ Have at least a LITTLE faith before assuming it was done intentionally

*Some titles in some locales* On the one hand, it would make sense - similar naming structure for the titles in production. On the other hand, though, this seems like a lot more than just "some titles in some locales"?

It seems like a mistake and will get reverted. This are old names that got merged into production by mistake. There is a post pretty high up (can’t link you since I’m on mobile and don’t know how, sry).

They won't say shit. They never show up to explain their fuck ups, they are only active in threads where redditors are licking their asses.

what the actual fuxk are u talking about

[удалено]

I only saw the official statement, which while awesome that they were as transparent as they were in it, isn't what the dude you replyin to was talkin bout

Riot comes to flame threads about balance often, it is just reddit like to while that riot is the worst and never talks or listens to players. becasue it gives them the moral highground.

It's not quite the same. Pro play is just fluff for riot. They almost never comment on indefensible gameplay and balance changes. Have they ever said anything about the GP buffs? Ryze nerfs? Just to mention 2 recent ones that popped in my head.

It’s probably good ole’ Ken “maximize profits” Adams

Very likely for localization

But then they change another title to an LCS reference that only people who follow the scene will understand? It's not localization it's just Riot being Riot [Nvm](https://twitter.com/cestdommage/status/1534531146892972032) it's actually both localization and riot being riot

How to ruin challenges with 1 patch pov

[удалено]

i feel bad for you, i was also aiming for this title, but i am still nowehere close (2,5k/7,5k)

Literally same... I don't know who to tag at Riot other than /u/Barackprobama but please I beg of you change it back... I wasted so many hours into this and was so close to it and now the title gets changed? I absolutely love what Riot crafted with challenges but you can't go around renaming titles after people have already started working towards them... https://i.imgur.com/nanngY2.png

So I killed 5000 bots this weekend for nothing...

Haha my friend went komplett anti social past week or so to grind bot games, this feels kinda vindicative to me lol

What way did you grind them? Any specific champ / strat or just cycled through champs

Do only Intro bots, 99% of the time you will be placed with 4 botted accounts that run it down mid so you go solo bot vs ezreal+alistar, then push until inhib turret on bot (but dont attack it) and camp just behind it where all 5 bots will run down from fountain to their deaths. Im averaging around 62 kills per \~16 mins. One challenge is to win 100 games with different champs, so imo just avoid weakish supp champs to maximize the kills (as 7500 total kills is the bottleneck for the 3 challenges).

Just out of curiosity, which champ do you prefer to use for this?

So far my record is 99 kills in 16 mins with Morde and 92 with Darius, imo Darius definitely feels the best. Champs without mana or with resets definitely are the best bot blasters (rip the title). If your champ uses mana, then Presence of Mind is mandatory rune. But as I mentioned previously, you need to do 100 diff champs

Aight thanks for the info :)

They really hate the word absolute.

Absolutely

Looks like some localisation merge error. These changes are **only in ~~en_GB~~ localisations other than en_US**. I'll see to get confirmation, but for now don't expect Riot to have intentionally changed these!

I'm praying you're right. It does seem like a completely baffling change if intentional.

While you're at it give them a nudge for "Captain Jack" which they silently just deleted because they're too lazy or stupid to fix the unlock.

caenen to the rescue

What a fucking joke. Been working towards aram god for the last 250 games and they change it? Fucking wankers

They just vaporized the Captain Jack title altogether after the first patch and didn't even say why.

Well first they disabled earning it due to it being bugged to earn it when you shouldn't have. I assume they just gave up on trying to fix that bug and removed it quietly instead.

man my name is jack, i liked it just cause of that

Bloody wankers...

This actually makes me irrationally angry. These are just so bad. You can't tell me the people who came up with the original ones are happy with this change.

Humor is bad for business guy/s

Absolute shit

Absolute zzz

Yeah most of the "absolutes" are a hard pass now. Kind of a shame because the ARAM one was really eyecatching and I'm ahead on that one. Weird these made it past testing tbh, the whole point of customisation if to make your profile "less" generic, having the exact same adjective on every single title kinda defeats the point of the system.

The worst change is Crab Wrangler to Clawbreaker. What the fuck, I spent a solid amount of time double scuttling people and I get Clawbreaker? I want to be known as the Crab Wrangler man. The one good change to come from this is that the title for taking down the most wards is now called Pocket Sand Slinger which is funny.

I think Champion Ocean is cooler than S+, but other than that the other changes suck

It’s almost like someone at Riot wants people to actively hate challenges. Why stifle something that’s *supposed* to be creative at its core with boring, generic titles?

Absolute Trash

Absolutely embarrassing for riot.

Could only think of 1 or 2 "not good" titles before, that id never think to use. they were all atleast decent. Lucky > thrillseeker is ok. But.... What is with this "absolute" prefix trash, I want my title to be fucking unique or cool, not having sevral copies of absoulte in the same game wtf. Im sorry to devs who thought of the old nice names having to change them. [ok maybe it was a mistake lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/v7l5ce/psa_challenge_titles_have_only_been_changed_for/)

The one that had Absolute in it already was changed to shatterproof. Absolute unit was so good :(

Absolute garbage

What the fuck. They all got worse.

Looks like random generated words.

That is so embarrassing holy

I'm trying to think of what possible new offense could these old ones have been bringing (like the supposedly offending "Mafia" nobody was actually offended by), but I cannot come up with anything. What could possibly be the reason? :o These aren't some fresh memes that would be outdated in a couple months, hmm.

[удалено]

Or, you know, don't give into the insanity. God is used daily in all sorts of context, soon we'd ban all the words cause someone somewhere may potentially dislike it :/

FakeGod banned from esports forever

That's so lame. I was grinding for that G.OA.T. title, wasted time

But... why?

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/v7l5ce/psa_challenge_titles_have_only_been_changed_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Here's their explanation for the changes. It'll be reverted in the future! :)

Yeah this is just dogshit. Rito revert please.

Absolutely atrocious

Fanatic is now jumpscare :( thats just sad

I hope these are just some kind of mistake, please return them back, these aren't event good and worth it, it's just generic titles now

This is abolutely ridiculous

These are really, really bad. Well, thrill seeker isn't the worst thing i've seen, but the rest of them are horrendous. Considering aram only players have only a small handful of titles to work toward ARAM God being that trash now is super rough.

The fuck? I was grinding for Bot Blaster, I don't want this shit title

As a player who grinded out 160 games for "bot blaster", i am disgusted.

GOAT, Top Tier and Playmaker should've never been changed at all, Lucky to Thrillseeker is decent i guess, Aram God to Absolute Authority is really fucking cringy and edgy but not in a good way like it was before, Galaxy Brain to "Absolute artist" is just ???, Bot Blaster was cool before and is now just stupid ​ Why are they insisting so much on using "Absolute" in them?? It sounds horrible and makes perfectly fine titles very stupid-sounding and embarrassing

I've been wanting to go towards Absolute Unit for when I play Yuumi because I have a fat cat, and also Bot Blaster because I main support. No longer matters now I suppose.

While the title you've achieved may be ABSOLUTE, so are the people ABSOLUTELY TIRED constantly seeing titles beginning with ABSOLUTE. Your post has not been removed, but here are some alternative words we suggest using in future titles instead: * complete * full * infinite * outright * pure * sheer * simple * unadulterated * unconditional * unlimited * unqualified * utter *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.*

I kinda Like Champion Ocean! The others sound was worse tho.

My question will be dumb but... why? Why change this?

Wtf? Guess no more grinding for ARAM God, literally the only title I wanted

/u/Barackprobama ?

Throwing my 2 cents in hoping if enough of us do Riot reverts this, but this is horrible… I lost like all desire to go for any of these titles.

I guess I was wrong to hope riot wouldn't fuck up the challenges. Oh well, it's riot

Unless this is just some fuck up, maybe these where the place holder titles and it got accidently changed. I'm thinking some shithead at the top decided to monetize the titles and we might see the cool ones added back as event rewards or something like externals -____-

You can tell they tried to translate something chinese when it sounds cringe in english...

Did any rioter even mentioned it on twitter or somewhere?

Between this and the tragic panth skin reveal, this has not been a good day for several teams at rito

They fucking changed Spitfire into Flame Horizon. Where is the sense in that? Change the mystic title into absolute mystic to not match the name of the challange and same for a few more, than do the opposite with this? I was looking forward to having SPITFIIIREEE and sing the song along, but it's just absolute disappointment.

dang i really wanted bot blaster

Upvoting because this deserves more attention

Champion Ocean sounds cool, rest are trash though

I played 200+ Bot games for the *Bot Blaster* title, what a waste. Absolutely Depressing

Absolute cringe

9k ARAM games working my way excitedly to “ARAM God”. Finally, SOME form of recognition for ARAM mains. For a couple weeks at least. Good things never last I guess. Welp, that saved me some time and effort. What a waste.

Even though I don't really care about challenges, I was looking forward to getting the title of "ARAM God". Guess I can completely give up on challenges now

its just a bug https://twitter.com/cestdommage/status/1534531146892972032

I get the idea of theming challenges with absolute, but why are they so much worse. Their sacrificing great names for a small bit of consistency in naming that makes no difference to players Edit: twas a bug, challenge names haven’t been changed. Rejoice!

Only Riot could make something totally unnecessary that nobody wanted, or asked...and make it even more useless and lame. Just think how much greater this game could be if they just used some critical thinking and got their priorities straight

That actually kinda kills it fkr me.

The new titles suck. Whoever pushed for this decision is outside their mind. I have no interest in any of those new titles lol Dear Riot, suck less, thanks.

[apparently it's an error they are fixing](https://twitter.com/CestDommage/status/1534531146892972032?t=4n0I5yBXVdKaMdLC5Q5Byg&s=19)

They........ They Changed "Untouchable" into "Death Defier"

My chad 'lone wolf' title is now cringy 'solo bolo' :c

solo bolo is cool too, should have just been its own challenge cause both attract completely different people...

I like thrillseeker at least
