In League of Legends, borders are visual frames that appear around your profile and loading screen portrait. They’re not just for show—they reflect your rank, event progress, or special skin ownership. If you’re wondering how to get them, here’s a quick breakdown.
Ranked Borders
The most common border is your ranked border, earned at the end of each season.
- Play ranked games (Solo/Duo or Flex Queue)
- Reach at least Iron IV by season’s end
- Your final rank determines your border for the next season (e.g., Gold border for Gold players)
The border appears in loading screens and on your profile until the next ranked season begins.
Prestige and Skin Borders
Some skins come with special borders, often from events or bundles.
- Buy a border bundle during events (like Lunar Revel or Worlds)
- These include the skin, loading screen border, and icons
- Borders are permanent but only show with that specific skin
Note: Once the event ends, you can’t get the border unless Riot brings it back in the future.
Event Pass Borders
If you’re grinding events:
- Purchase an Event Pass
- Earn tokens by playing games
- Use tokens in the event shop to unlock borders tied to event skins
These borders are exclusive and reward player dedication during limited-time events.
Final Thoughts
Borders in League of Legends are small, stylish rewards that highlight your achievements—whether you climbed the ranked ladder, bought a premium skin, or went all-in during an event. They don’t affect gameplay, but they say a lot about how far you’ve come.
Grind, flex, and show your frame.
