3D graphics couldn't start
Your browser didn't give the game access to 3D graphics (WebGL). Usually one of these fixes it:
Turn on hardware acceleration: in Chrome or Edge, Settings → System → "Use graphics acceleration when available", then restart the browser.
Update your browser, or try Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Update your graphics drivers.

Account
Your level, unlocks, stats and match history are saved to your account, so they follow you to any browser or PC.
Creating an account is optional, and very much appreciated: we only save game data from signed-in players, and that data is how we balance the game. As a guest your progress stays in this browser only; signed in, it's saved on our server and follows you to any device.
Cloud accounts aren't connected yet. The game needs a Supabase project (see SUPABASE-SETUP.md). Until then you can play as a guest; your progress is kept in this browser and moves to your account when you sign up.

Milestone titles: Wired 1400 · Charged 1600 · Overdrive 1800 · Riftbreaker 2100. Your first 5 games are placements. Leaving a match counts as a loss.
Test season thank-you: everyone who reaches 1400 on either ladder gets skins for the season's two most-played champions.

🔒 Your data, with open cards
Creating an account is optional. You can play everything as a guest. An account is appreciated though: we only save game data from signed-in players, and that data is how we find what is too strong, too weak or broken.
As a guest
Your progress, unlocks and settings are saved only in this browser. We never receive them.
We don't log your matches. (Once our game server is live in December, it records each match's result for every player; guests without a name or account.)
Only if you choose to: bug reports and the survey are sent to us with technical details (browser, screen size, device type, game version, recent errors).
In an online match hosted by a signed-in player, that match's balance log includes your champion, stats and ping. Never your name.
With an account, we also save
Your email (only for signing in, never shown or shared) and your username.
Your progress, unlocks and match history, so they follow you to any device.
Balance logs from matches you host: champions, abilities, rounds and deaths, plus performance (frame rate, ping, connection type, device type). Players in these logs have no names.
Rift Climb runs: your champion, the upgrades you picked, and per floor how long it took, damage taken and what ended the run. We use it to tune the climb.
Bug reports and survey answers you send are linked to your account.
From the ranked test season (December): your ranked ratings and the match results our game server records.
What we never collect
Your real name, address or location. No advertising, no tracking cookies, no analytics companies. We never sell or share your data.
Good to know
Peer-to-peer matches: until our game server is live, online matches connect players' browsers directly, so the players in a match can technically see each other's IP address. If that bothers you, play with friends for now. With the game server this goes away.
Our hosting providers (Netlify for the site, Supabase for accounts) keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security. We don't use them.
Delete your data: while signed in, send a report of the type Suggestion saying "delete my account", and we will remove your account and everything tied to it.

Fair play promise: everything that affects a match is earned by playing. Money buys looks and time, never power. No loot boxes, no countdown pressure, prices always shown in euros too. Cred can also be earned every week from weekly quests.
Key bindings
Click a slot, then press a key or mouse button. Esc cancels, Backspace clears the slot. Esc always opens the menu.
Waiting for an opponent
Send your friend the code or the link.
Still connecting? A firewall or router may be blocking the direct connection. Check that the code is right, that the host is on the waiting screen, or try another network (a phone hotspot is a quick test).
