Ranked mode in League of Legends is highly popular among players, as it allows them to compete with others of similar skill levels and progress through various ranks. Winning a ranked match enables players to climb their rank, while losing can result in demotion.
The game currently features 10 ranks: iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, emerald, diamond, master, grandmaster, and challenger. Each rank consists of different tiers, providing a sense of progression within the overall ranking system.
Advancing within tiers is relatively straightforward, but moving from one rank to another requires players to complete promotional matches. When players reach 100LP in the highest tier of their current rank (e.g., gold-I, platinum-I, diamond-I), they must participate in promo matches to determine if they can ascend to the next rank. The outcome of these matches determines whether players can rank up or remain at their current rank.
Riot Games introduced significant modifications to the ranked system earlier this year, bringing about substantial changes. Among these changes, one notable adjustment was the transition of promo matches from a best-of-five format to a best-of-three format.
This alteration aimed to enhance the overall experience of promo matches, making them more manageable for players. Additionally, Riot recently announced their plans to completely eliminate promo matches from the game during Split 2, further streamlining the ranked progression system.
In a recent developer log, Riot Games made some surprising announcements concerning ranked gameplay, skins, clash, and the Academy of Esports. The most notable revelation was the removal of promotional matches from the ranked system.
This decision was driven by the observation that a significant portion of the community struggles to progress beyond the silver rank or lower. By eliminating promos, Riot aims to facilitate the advancement of players from these ranks to higher tiers.
