just got this email and in their email they state the following
"As a reminder this is the last year we will be doing physical rewards as both the ranked system and the number of challengers has changed for 2019."
so is riot basically admitting their queue types are not competitive anymore or what? if anything it seems like an excuse to me all they did was increase the size of chall on 4 servers (+400 rewards) but decrease it on like 9 others to 50 (-1450 rewards needing to be issued)
