[center][img=https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2017/june/challjackets/jackets.jpg width=70%][/center] After a couple of delays, we’re now shipping jackets in most regions! Challenger Elite medallions will soon follow, so don’t panic if you qualified for a medallion and didn’t receive it in your first shipment. We’re working to ship all items in the coming weeks. We’ve had a lot of time to think about rewards while waiting for the jackets to ship out. When we reached out to some of the highest-level players regarding end-of-season rewards, a young up-and-coming North American player called Meteos had an idea: Riot should add something in-game like unique Recall effects for Challengers. Well, alright. The Challenger Recall appears anytime the normal blue Recall would play, but does not override Baron-buffed Recalls, nor the blue effect on the minimap, to preserve gameplay readability. This will be going live in a future patch, but we wanted to give you a quick preview: [center][webm url=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2017/june/challjackets/recall.webm autoplay=on loop=on width=400][/center] You can get this effect by being Challenger Tier in the current season (this will update daily). We hope Challengers and Challenjours alike enjoy this feature - and we’ll have an update on the physical rewards program later this year. In the meantime, let us know what you think![/quote]
