The League of Legends Star Guardian 2022 event has been officially extended by Riot Games after the severe backlash that it faced from the community due to major bugs.
Players have had a fair number of issues with the Star Guardian event ever since it went live with patch 12.13. The event prevented Summoners from seeing and claiming some of the rewards from missions, which led to a fair bit of backlash from the community.
The 2022 Star Guardian event was something that fans were anticipating for the entire season, and receiving it in a broken state was not appreciated. Hence, the developers have listened and extended the event.
The event will be extended until August 24, 2022. In a recent tweet, League of Legends developer Riot Mikouz opened up about some of the issues the team has been facing with the event.
The developer states:
He continued:
League of Legends fans were quite unhappy with how the developers have been dealing with the bugs and the issues with the rewards that have been consistent all throughout the event.
In light of the backlash, Riot Games will not just be extending the event till August 24, but players will also be granted various additional rewards for the inconvenience.
Summoners will now be able to earn tokens through loot and missions, which will be activated on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, and will run until the event comes to an end a week later. A compensation mission will also be active during this time and will provide additional rewards as well.
