Due to popular demand, we have extended the availability of the gifting feature in the Store through the end of Snowdown Showdown on January 6. Only summoners that were on your Friend list at the start of the Snowdown event can be gifted. Snowdown summoner icons will continue to be rewarded for your first gift of RP, a champion, or a skin.
We hope to bring gifting back permanently in 2013 once we have evaluated its impact on account fraud and hacking, and taken any necessary additional steps to protect your accounts.
What would one do if his account was hacked and forced to make gifts to someone else?
Contact Player Support with detailed information about the hacking and ask that the gifts be removed from the other player and the RP refunded. I cannot guarantee the result, as it depends on what can be proven, but those are the steps I would recommend.
Thanks for the help it's already been a week and a half and I was wondering why it didn't unlock when it said on the support page "Wait 24 hours at least"
What is your Summoner name on EUNE? I'll look into why you don't have your icon now.
