PVP.net v1.29.23

* Created a new UI flow for joining games of all types
* Updated the Friend List UI
* Runes are now stacked in the Summoner profile
* A new game mode approaches: Co-op vs. AI!
o This mode pits a team of all human players against a team of all AI bots on Summoner's Rift.
o This mode is supported by matchmaking, and allows summoners to join the queue solo or with friends.
o Summoners may choose between two AI bot difficulty settings: Beginner or Intermediate.
o IP and XP rewards are earned, and adjusted based on summoner level and difficulty setting.
o The following bots are enabled for Co-op vs. AI:
+ Annie
+ Ashe
+ Cho'Gath
+ Miss Fortune
+ Nunu
+ Renekton
+ Ryze
+ Shen
+ Soraka
+ Taric
+ Trundle
+ Warwick
o Coop versus AI will be available to play in the coming days after the patch goes live, but not on release day.

XP & IP Rate Changes

* We have completely overhauled the IP and XP system in order to make it more fair. Our intention was to leave the overall XP and IP gained by players unchanged.
* Previously, IP and XP were awarded for winning or losing a game. Now, they are granted based on how long the game was, and whether you won or lost.
* In a long game, you will make significantly more XP and IP than before. However, in a very short game, you will make less IP and XP. We found it frustrating to be stuck in an hour long games, and then get what was effectively 30 minutes of IP reward.
* When calculating the number of minutes the game took, we only award for actual game time. However, we give all games a small fixed bonus reward, which is to give you credit for time in queue and champion selection.
* Other details:
o We have also tweaked the formulas so that new players get larger quantities of IP in their first 10 or so levels so that they can unlock their first Champions more quickly.
o First Win of the Day remains unchanged – it is still a flat bonus you will receive when you are eligible.
o We removed the no-leave-streak bonus and increased the IP rewards in general to compensate. The reason we did this is because we felt that with the new LeaverBuster system, this was no longer necessary.
