League of Legends ranking system revamped

18 January 2013

League of Legends will be getting a new ranking system for Season 3.

Riot Games says that the new League system is designed to give players a deeper sense of progression.

Once you’ve played some placement matches, you will be placed in one of six tiers (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond and challenger). Once in a tier, you will play in a particular division in that tier.

“Winning ranked games earns you League Points that help you move up the rankings in your league. As you acquire more points you’ll have the opportunity to fight your way into the next division, or even into a new league at the next tier of competition,” explain Riot Games.

Riot also says that if 5v5 ranked teams make it to the top tier, the Challenger tier, players will even have the opportunity to go pro.

Riot Games has provided a handy FAQ and infographic that delves into the particulars of the new League System.
