We're launching in Turkey first, and expect to roll it out globally in the coming weeks. Read on for how it works! If you opt-in to the feature, you'll start seeing friend suggestions near the bottom of your League friends list. From there, you can add your friend on League or just dismiss the notification. That's literally the [b]only thing[/b] this feature does. Here's what needs to happen for you to see a friend recommendation: [list][*]Both you [i]and[/i] the suggested friend have activated and approved this Facebook feature [*]You are already friends on Facebook [*]You aren't yet friends on League [*]Neither you nor the suggested friend have previously dismissed the recommendation[/list] When you open a recommendation, you'll first see your friend by their Facebook icon, full name, and summoner name. If you and your Facebook friend both agree to be LoL friends, you'll start to be identified by your summoner name and summoner icon (though we'll pre-populate friends notes with your real name so you can remember who's who). If you dismiss the recommendation, you won't appear as a suggested friend for that player. We're not being obnoxious with this feature: [list][*]This feature will [b]never[/b] post to your (or anyone else's) Facebook Timeline [*]People who aren't your Facebook friends will [b]never[/b] see your name, profile picture or profile [*]Not a single byte of your Facebook data will be shared with strangers or other companies [*]This feature is, and always will be entirely optional [*]After approving the feature, you can turn it off at any time[/list] If you'd like to know more, check out our [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/features/faq-add-friends]FAQ page[/url]!

[quote=Janitsu]My only facebook friend above of silver is Joxuu...[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]I have a Facebook friend in Diamond 4 (Diamond 2 last season) who's like A YEAR younger than I am and spammed Janna to get there. I also was friends with a guy once whose cousin knew a guy who got into OCE challenger.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]I wonder how many of my facebook friends that I haven't talked to in years play League? Who knows this could be a great way to rekindle old friendships, or destroy them even more.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]My IRL friends think Gold V is an accomplishment and something they're all striving to reach. No thanks.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I have irl friends who think Silver is an accomplishment because they're all Bronze. I'll also pass.[/quote]
