![]() Setting aside Iron at the bottom and Diamond+ at the top, most other competitive ranked games have the equivalents of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum roughly similar in size. Historically, League has had a very bottom-heavy distribution of rankings. To start, I need to talk about our philosophy on ranked and how it’s shifting. As this is the first time we’ll be resetting ranks during the season we wanted to explain exactly what’s going to happen and our reasoning behind it. Hello! I’m Riot Revenancer, Systems Lead for our Motivations initiative. Next, Riot Revenancer will reveal what’s coming up as we walk down the yellow brick road to Split 2. At the end of the day though, if you’re in the top 0.5% of… really anything a lot of people do, you are really good at it. There’s probably improvement to make to the progression experience when the next milestone for a Master tier player is Grandmaster at 800 LP away, and it’s important that this level of play is perceived as prestigious. That said, the original design of Master+ didn’t account for such a high population, and it has been steadily increasing over the years. ![]() With the faster LP progression, players are reaching places they would end up anyway over time, just more quickly. “But Riot!” you say, “The ladder is inflated!” It is accurate that there are more players at high ranks, but important to note that we didn’t change the MMR requirements to sustain those ranks between 20. This is a really bad experience we want to address, but it does serve an important purpose: preventing rank inflation and maintaining ladder integrity. Increasing LP variance shortened the initial journey to your rank, where you can start to experience LP losses that are greater than LP wins if your MMR isn’t near the level of the rank you’re trying to climb to. We accomplished this, but with a few side effects that we’re evaluating. More free rewards are good though, right? I’d also like to officially announce that the Victorious Skin for Season 2023 - Split 1 will be Victorious Anivia.Įarlier in the season during 13.4 we made it easier to move both up and down in rank so that your ranked journey is more eventful.
