Tiers and divisions also provide milestones and manageable goals you can strive to achieve at your skill level. Through leagues we can move away from focusing on a single number as the core indicator of a player's skill, and instead move toward something more compelling: competition on a small ladder with a relatable number of opponents. Losing a ranked game in the league system will cost some of your League Points.
If you're already at the bottom of your division, this may mean falling back to the previous division. Once you've earned a skill tier, however, you can never be demoted to the previous tier unless you stop playing for a prolonged period of time. In other words, losing can never cause you to fall below 0 League Points in the lowest division of your league.
Your standing in your league is now determined by your tier, division and League Points, not your matchmaking rating. If you haven't played enough ranked matches in the preseason, you'll first complete a series of placement matches before being sorted into a league. How you perform in these matches will determine the tier of the league you initially earn. Matchmaking isn't affected by your league, and you'll still be competing against all opponents of your skill level in the League of Legends community.
Your league measures your progress against a set of opponents of similar skill level, but doesn't restrict competition solely to those players.
The league system will always try to place you in a league with summoners on your friends list first, provided they're in the same skill tier you are. If you want to check your ranking against a friend in another league, you can compare your tier, division, and league points to get a general idea of who's closer to the top.
If you're interested in making a run at the Championship Series, try messaging some fellow Challenger tier competitors who aren't attached to a current 5v5 ranked team. You'll probably find you have plenty of potential comrades to help you pursue your dream. For the sake of illustration, let's take the hypothetical and non-existent player Steve McQueen.
Steve completes his placement matches and falls into division three of the Silver tier. He's then placed into a league with up to other Silver tier players. Based on their skill level, these players are evenly distributed across the five Silver tier divisions, so Steve's league contains around 50 players in each division.
When Steve acquires League Points by winning ranked games, he'll have the opportunity to play a Division Series to move up. If he were already in division one, he'd get to play a Promotion Series to break into a new league in the Gold tier. It's not a big deal if you lose a division or promotion series. You'll simply end up back in the ladder rankings with say, LP depending on how the series went and there's nothing preventing you from qualifying for another series quickly.
You can still be matched against anyone else who's playing ranked at that time, even if they're in a different league, division, or tier. So you shouldn't have any trouble finding matches at 4 AM. Matchmaking will continue to match you based on a hidden MMR matchmaking rating that's tracked behind the scenes. If you are continually losing matches at the bottom of Gold tier, you'll start to play against Silver players even though you're in a Gold league. There are a lot of checks and balances that must be passed before you can move up a tier, so we don't think that it will be common for players to be in this situation with the exception of something like Elo boosting, which we'll be continuing to address.
We won't be resetting ratings, no. Players and teams will be seeded into a league based on a combination of their current and top ratings from the preseason. If you didn't play enough games in the preseason, then you'll be placed into a league when you finish your tenth game or fifth game for a team.
You start with 0 LP, yes, but there's a grace period where it's impossible to be demoted for the first few games in the new division, so losing won't really cost you anything. You can look at it as a time to relax for a bit after successfully getting through a division series.
If your hidden matchmaking rating MMR is far below where it should be for your current division, you will gain LP much more slowly. Similarly, if for some reason your MMR is far above where it should be for your current division, you will gain LP more quickly. Throwing games will not help you out in this system. It's always better to win the game you're playing, regardless of if it's part of a division series, or if you've just been promoted, or if it's just a typical game in the middle of the division standings.
Leagues don't affect matchmaking. You can still be matched against anyone in the entire system, so being in the same division as a friend just allows for some friendly banter and competition.
It doesn't mean you will play with or against them more often unless of course, you duo queue. It would be nice to have a shared goal, and maybe force players to work together a lil more. It won't work this way at launch but it's high on our list of possible post-launch improvements. We agree that it could be pretty awesome to only match people who are in a series together so that everyone has the same stake in the match outcome.
It'd be difficult to do this in Diamond without slowing down matchmaking significantly, but it should be very doable for the other tiers. For now, we won't be telling anyone else that you're participating in a series, so it's up to you if you want to let people know or not.
We look at it as being similar to starting a game at Elo in the previous system, where you know that you'll get to Gold if you win, and other players in the match aren't necessarily in the same boat.
No, duo queuing with someone who's in a higher tier wouldn't give you more LP. It's based on the expected win percentage of your team in the matchup, and the fact that you're in a lower tier than your opponents would be offset by the fact that you have a higher tier player on your team as well. There are certainly similarities, but in designing this system we focused on certain goals we felt were under served in in SC2 and in LoL seasons 1 and 2.
If you move up into Challenger Tier then you knock someone else out. Once you've reached that level of badassery, you've got to fight to keep it. This is the only League where that will be the case. League and Ranked are the same thing. The old ladder structure the singular ranked list of everyone that plays ranked LoL, sorted by Elo is now going to be replaced by Leagues of similarly skilled players. Normal games will continue to be exactly the same as before.
You aren't required to finish them right away; you will have a very generous window of time to complete your series multiple weeks , before you are no longer eligible to be promoted. Though we want to bring you the intense feeling of a tournament game, we know people have things to do, dinners to eat, and swimming pool fires to put out. If you queue dodge during a Division or Promotion Series then the series will immediately be canceled and you'll have to re-qualify for the series by winning another game.
It might sound harsh, but queue dodge rates in ranked are honestly too high right now, and we're not interested in having some players carefully micromanaging their series matchups at the expense of everyone else's queue times and failed lobbies. A time penalty preventing you from searching a new game for a certain amount of time. This time starts at 5 minutes and is increased by 30 more minutes to a 1 hour cap for every following queue dodge that day.
A League Points penalty is applied to the player who dodges, 3 points for the first time and 10 for the second time before the timer reset. From there, you'll have to climb the ladder by winning matches and improving. If you're already at the bottom of your division, this may mean dropping to the previous division. Each time you hit LP within your division, you'll qualify for a promotion series best-of-three.
Beat that and you'll promote yourself to the next division. If you hit a promotion series when you're in division I, then you'll qualify for a larger promotion series best-of-five. Beat that series and you'll move on to the next tier!
You're briefly protected from falling to a lower tier after your promotion, but you can still fall back down into lower tiers if your MMR falls significantly after this period of protection.
A player completes his placement matches and is placed into Silver III. He's then placed into the Katarina's Assassins league with up to other Silver tier players because he's already got three friends who are competing there.
Based on their skill level, these players are evenly distributed across the five Silver tier divisions, so his league contains around 50 players in each division. When he acquires LP through ranked wins, he gets to play a division series to move up to Silver II. If he were already in Silver I, he'd be entered into a promotion series to break into Gold V. Matchmaking isn't affected by your league, so you'll compete against opponents of various skill levels.
Your league indicates your progress against a set of opponents who're similar to you in skill level, but it doesn't restrict competition solely to those in your league. The league system will always try to place you in a league with players on your friends list as long as they're in the same skill tier e.
If you want to check your ranking against a friend in another league, you can compare your tier, division and LP to get a general idea of who's closer to the top. If matchmaking favors your opponent, you'll gain more LP than normal if you pull off the upset.
The opposite is also true. This is generally true up until you hit Diamond I because we want to ensure that Challenger standing is highly accurate and represents only the very best players. This means that even with 99 or LP, you won't necessarily hit your promo series, but they will trigger once your MMR reaches Challenger levels.
You'll lose LP relative to how you performed in the series, so you'll lose more LP if you tanked your promotion series pretty hard. You'll generally find yourself somewhere between points following an unsuccessful series. You'll need to play one placement match to be reseeded into a new league. Keep in mind that your new league could be different from the one you were in before, as it will be based on the MMR distribution on the new server.
After 28 days of inactivity in a particular ranked queue, a couple things will happen. First, you'll be hidden from the standings in your League. You may also lose LP depending on your current tier. Every seven days thereafter, you'll lose LP until you play a match in that queue. If you fall below zero LP as a result of decay, you'll be placed into the next lowest division. If you're already in division V of your league, you'll fall into a new league in the next tier down for example, Gold V to Silver I.
When you lose a match with 0 LP, there's a chance that you may be demoted down to the next lowest division for example Division IV to Division V , or even drop down a tier for example from Silver to Bronze.
Whether or not this happens depends on your hidden MMR, which is compared against the lowest average MMR rating of your division and tier. When you reach a new division, you are protected from demotion for three games before you're in danger of demotion. When you reach Division 5 of any tier, you are protected from demotion for ten games.
We have implemented a warning system to indicate when you are close to dropping a tier. You will receive a soft warning when your MMR falls below your tier's lowest MMR value, and a sterner warning when the gap increases. Further losses beyond this point will result in a tier demotion to division 1 of the next lowest tier with either 25 or 75 LP, depending on your MMR at the time of demotion.
Your team name isn't locked down until your team finishes five placement matches and gets officially seeded. If you don't want anyone to snipe your awesome team name, please finish the placement matches.
You have 28 days from the day you hit your promotion series to complete the entire series. This time limit doesn't refresh every time you play another game in the series; you've gotta finish all three or five matches within 28 days. For promotion from Diamond I to Challenger, you've only got five days total! If you've already queue dodged recently, successive dodges will cost you 10 LP and a minute ban from matchmaking. For teams, the penalty is always 10 LP and a one-minute matchmaking ban.
We want to penalize chronic queue-dodgers without affecting the matchmaking ecosystem. The three LP penalty is intentionally light so players who dodge to escape a potentially toxic situation aren't punished as severely. However, the subsequent 10 LP penalties are targeted at players who queue dodge to game the system by only playing when they have a favorable match-up.
Because queue dodging wastes a lot of time and frustrates players more than failed flashes, we want to discourage people from dodging except in extreme circumstances. League names are purely cosmetic and are created by randomly pairing a champion's name with an appropriately epic plural noun. You can't change your league name or switch to another league; however you may change leagues when you move up or down into a new tier e. If you happen to drop a division, you will go back to the League you were in earlier rather than a random one.
Kills and damage go hand in hand. A high output of damage can outshine those kills when it comes to getting an S. The Creep Score is the amount of creeps and minions kills. However, for a support role, the number will be lower. You also have to consider that your CS will be compared to the other players who played the same champion in the same position.
Basically, your CD number is determined by the role and the champion. Try to avoid as many deaths as possible no one likes dying and work your way to getting as many kills as you can. Hopefully, this article helped you to understand how to earn an S Rank in League of Legends. Just another League of Legends addict. I've been playing the game for 8 years now, and my highest rank was Master LP.
I was also rank 3 on LeBlanc last season. Some of the links on this page are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

Today, I will explain some techniques you can use to get an S rank… Table of Content show. Everything Matters. Even Your Role. Since its launch in , League of Legends has built a competitive scene that has expanded significantly from the early days with the elo-based system.
Riot has introduced divisions within each Ranked tier, promotion series for players looking to climb for the next rank, and competitive team events like the popular Clash tournaments. However, one of the biggest complaints players often field about Riot's Ranked system is the way player progress is determined. A patent recently filed by Riot Games suggests that the game may be seeing significant changes to how its ranking system is determined.
The patent suggests a ranking system that would determine player progression within Ranked games based on a number of factors outside of the team performance. The description suggests the idea of "individual player outcomes and contributions" as a factor for determining a player's ranking and score following the conclusion of a match.
