Due to some capacity issues with our storage provider, we will be running the queues at reduced speeds until the end of 2024. A fix for these problems is not expected to be fully deployed until the end of this year. No data has been lost.
Thanks to the reliable stream of donations from Patrons, I have been able to upgrade rewind.lol servers and infrastructure throughout t...
2024-11-17 09:30:44 +0000 UTC View PostToday, rewind.lol has switched to mainly using Riot#IDs to identify player accounts.
For existing paid subscribers: no action is required for existing accounts on your list, even if they display the old name. As long as you remember the account's old name (for example, iaace = iaace#ggez) then you are not required to spend your monthly quota to update the account to the new name. The bene...
2023-11-30 20:11:54 +0000 UTC View PostIf you prefer annual billing over monthly billing, this option is now available. A small discount is being offered.
If you prefer monthly billing, no action is required and nothing changes.

Monthly subscriptions will not be going away.
2023-06-07 06:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostDue to a Riot bug, rewind.lol's account verification system is broken. If you are experiencing issues with account verification, please message me. You may be asked to provide a screenshot to prove account ownership.
2023-03-15 00:43:12 +0000 UTC View PostI'd like to express my appreciation for everyone who visited the site recently. When I posted the site to r/leagueoflegends again, I did not expect to see even a third of the traffic we eventually handled. For those who were just visitors, thank you for your patience. And for those that donated, your support is incredibly important for the following reasons:
As I only pro...
2023-01-10 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe verification system has been repaired. Any unverified profiles with history pages will break on the next profile update. If this applies to you, please sign in here to verify accounts. If you encounter any issues, please reach out!
2022-12-20 00:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostBeginning on 2023-01-01, the infrastructure that services rewind.lol will be powered by at least 50% renewable energy sources. We also aim to go 100% renewable in 2024.
2022-12-02 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIn May of 2022, rewind.lol began a long-running maintenance operation to migrate match data to the cloud. Since then, we have run into a number of complications:
Due to the ongoing queue processing downtime for rewind.lol, billing for the current month will be skipped. I apologize for the inconvenience.
2022-10-11 05:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostRegarding the account management portal, the current system for verifying accounts is broken (due to Riot). As of 2022-04-02, we will temporarily allow non-verified accounts to have the history page enabled. At some point this change may be reverted, at which point the history feature will become disabled again for non-verified accounts.
tldr: Verification is broken so you don't need to v...
2022-04-18 02:31:43 +0000 UTC View PostMore information regarding poll options:
After the most recent poll, it became quite clear that a price increase is in order, but not exactly as detailed in the previous poll. As of today, we will use the old ratio of $1 per 2 summoners ($0.50 per summoner) minus 1. See the table below. Also important to note: your membership costs will not automatically increase, but your benefits may decrease unless...
2022-01-18 06:56:59 +0000 UTC View PostDear Patrons,
Due to the increased demand (and maintenance/upgrade costs), I would like to consider a different pricing scheme for Patreon benefits, specifically:
The current pricing guideline is $1 per 2 summoners ($0.50 per summoner) a...
2021-12-02 22:59:13 +0000 UTC View PostThank you to everyone for your patience. We've restarted processing profiles in the queue today.
Notice to current Patrons: billing has already been suspended for another month due to the longer than expected downtime.
Please remember that you will need to update your rewind.lol profile at least once every 1000 games, otherw...
2021-11-18 16:38:17 +0000 UTC View PostDue to the ongoing long term maintenance for rewind.lol, billing for November 1st will be skipped entirely.
Thank you for your patience!
2021-10-07 21:15:53 +0000 UTC View PostTomorrow will be the last day you can update your profile for the 4 weeks. Queue processing will be stopped so we can switch everything over to the v5 API that Riot has implemented. Lookups will not be affected.
After we make the switch, you will need to update your rewind.lol profile at least once every 1000 games, otherwise there will be gaps in your data. This is because Riot has decid...

2021-03-03 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! This is a transparency post to help visitors understand and audit how Patreon income is used.
All income from donations and Patreon subscriptions is routed to a bank account separate from my personal finances. In the transaction history below, Paypal transfers/debits are used to pay for infrastructure costs. Paypal credits are one-time donations.

The original purpose of rewind.lol was to be a nice birthday gift for a friend. I spent hours and hours of my time getting the website working for just ONE profile. They were meant to be special and unique gifts to the closest of my friends; after all, no one else had one. Before March of 2020, you had to ask me to make a profile for you, and I didn't alw...

In the 24 hours following my reddit post, you added nearly 15 thousand summoner names to all queues. I believe it's the most traffic we've ever seen in a short period of time. During the initial burst of traffic on January 3rd, I was also monitoring front-facing web server utilizations....

2020-11-14 13:13:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! The end of season 10 is fast approaching. I hope you can reach your personal goals for LoL. I would like to give you an update on the development of the website.
I have been a full-time student for the entirety of 2020, so recent progress has been a bit slow. Most of my efforts have been spent on optimizations for the website in anticipation of the end of the season and th...

Transparency is nice. Some personal information has been redacted. Only the items outlined in red are related to hosting the rewind.lol website. The revised total for that comes out to EUR23,85 or USD25.86 at the time of posting.
There are things I can do to reduce the costs even further, and that will be my focus for the first half of the month of May. The website does not cost very much...
