The ranked system in League of Legends is designed to match players of similar skill levels and give them a clear progression path. But exactly how many ranks are there?
All League of Legends Ranks Explained
There are nine ranked tiers, each representing a level of skill and competitiveness. From lowest to highest:
- Iron
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Emerald (added in 2023)
- Diamond
- Master
- Grandmaster
- Challenger
Divisions Within Ranks
All ranks from Iron to Diamond are divided into four divisions:
- Example: Silver IV (lowest) to Silver I (highest)
Ranks Master and above have no divisions but require players to maintain high Matchmaking Rating (MMR) and earn League Points (LP) to climb.
How Promotion Works
- Win games to earn LP
- Reach 100 LP to advance divisions
- Promotion from one rank to the next may involve promotion series
- Demotion can occur if you lose too many games and your LP drops below zero
Ranked Seasons and Rewards
Each ranked season lasts several months. Rewards can include:
- Chromas
- Victorious skins
- Summoner icons and emotes
Climbing the ranked ladder is both a test of skill and a badge of honor in the LoL community.
