League of Legends gifting center down, many players unable to use it

League of Legends players report that they are experiencing a glitch in the game’s gifting center which does not allow them to send items to other players.

Gifting center is still down
I was hoping riot would fix this quickly, or at least before the emporium closes. I promised a couple friends that I would mystery gift them champie icons. However, the gifting center has been down for 4 days now. Does anybody know how long this is going to last for? and if it’ll be fixed before Dec. 1st?

Almost 2022 and we still can’t gift Chromas to friends

Haven’t played in a year. Came back a week ago with some friends and we’re on a gifting spree. I just bought Coven Zyra and friend wanted to buy me some chromas.

You can’t gift chromas though.

I fail to see any reason why this is beneficial to anyone, hell you can unlock a mystery ward skin for a friend but not a chroma.

You can unlock a RUNE PAGE for a friend but not a chroma.

It appears that the issue does not affect all players in the same way. For example, there are players who report being able to gift icons and ward skins.

Meanwhile, in other cases, players can only gift ward skins to their friends.

But, having said all the above, none of the players are able to gift Chromas to others.

The bug has been around for at least a month

It should be noted that this problem is not exactly new. League of Legends players have been reporting the gifting center glitch for at least a month.
