While full information has not yet been released on the upcoming events, they have announced Pride and Jubilant Colors both coming on May 24. To prepare for Pride Month in June, they also have released Pride 2021 emotes, the Rainbows For All Homeguard Trails, and a Rainbow Poro icon.
The company is still working to even out the playing field amongst its champions with some attack and stats changes to the versus modes as well as to ARAM mode.
