Since October 2020, Riot Games’ Eternals—often called the “Eternal Series”—has given League of Legends players a new way to measure progress beyond simple win‑loss records. More than just statistics, Eternals are champion‑specific milestone trackers that reward mastery and personal achievement.
What Are Eternals?
Eternals are persistent performance trackers tied to individual champions. Rather than resetting each season, they record lifetime achievements like total damage dealt, wards placed, multi‑kill streaks, or healing done. Each champion has a unique set of three to five Eternals, reflecting signature abilities and playstyles.
Why Riot Introduced Them
Riot designed Eternals to fill a gap in League’s progression system. Ranked tiers measure overall skill relative to others—but they don’t show how well you’re improving with a particular champion. Eternals offer visible proof of mastery, motivating players to hone mechanics and experiment with different play patterns.
How to Unlock and View Eternals
- Purchase: Eternals must be bought per champion using Blue Essence (typically 7,000 BE) or Riot Points (650 RP).
- Activate: Once unlocked, visit your Collection → Eternals to enable specific milestone trackers.
- Monitor In‑Game: Eternals appear on the loading screen and in post‑game stats. A unique border surrounds your champion icon when you reach new tiers.
Milestone Tiers and Rewards
Each Eternal has seven tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger. Achieving each tier awards a small cosmetic flourish—a colored badge in your profile, loading screen icon upgrades, and animated kill banners during matches. The Challenger tier also grants a special summoner icon that persists until season’s end.
| Tier | Required Milestone Examples | Reward |
| Bronze | 10 total kills | Bronze badge |
| Silver | 50 total kills | Silver badge |
| Gold | 200 total kills | Gold badge |
| … | … | … |
| Challenger | 10,000 total kills | Unique summoner icon |
Why Eternals Matter
Eternals cater to both casual and competitive players seeking tangible progress. For newcomers, they spotlight simple goals (“place 100 wards this season”). For veterans, they offer high‑level benchmarks (“land 1,000 skill shots with Ezreal”). By celebrating incremental improvement, Riot hopes to increase long‑term engagement and personalize each summoner’s journey.
Limitations and Considerations
- No Season Reset: Unlike ranked LP, Eternal progress never resets—some players find this demotivating if they underperform early on.
- Cost Barrier: Purchasing Eternals for every champion can be expensive in BE or RP.
- Niche Appeal: Those focused purely on climbing ranked may view Eternals as cosmetic fluff.
Bottom Line
League’s Eternal Series provides a fresh layer of self‑driven achievement. It transforms raw numbers into milestones you can showcase and share—encouraging mastery of individual champions rather than just chasing rank. Whether you’re looking for new ways to challenge yourself or simply want bragging rights for champion expertise, Eternals give every summoner a path to prove they’ve truly mastered their favorite picks.
