With the end of Season 14, Riot Games has unveiled significant updates for the ranked system in League of Legends Season 15, set to launch in 2025. These adjustments aim to streamline progression, enhance player experience, and offer more rewarding incentives.
Key Changes to the Ranked System for 2025
Single annual reset
The 2025 ranked system will feature a single reset per year, eliminating mid-year resets. Both visible rank and MMR (Matchmaking Rating) will be affected by this change, ensuring players can maintain consistent progress throughout the year. This update addresses community feedback, as frequent resets were often seen as a frustrating disruption to competitive growth.
Regional-themed seasons
Season 15 will be divided into three mini-seasons, each themed around a specific Runeterra region. The first season will focus on Noxus, with additional regions set to be revealed later.
More Victorious skin rewards
Unlike previous years, players can now earn three Victorious skins throughout the year, one per season. Unlocking these skins will require winning 15 ranked matches during the respective season, making these rewards more accessible than ever.
A Smoother Ranked Experience
Riot Games is also aiming to reduce the average number of games needed for rank progression. The system will follow principles used in 2022, ensuring a fair and engaging journey for players striving to climb the ranks without unnecessary interruptions.
Conclusion
These changes mark a return to stability for League of Legends’ competitive environment, addressing longstanding player concerns while introducing fresh incentives. With a more streamlined ranked system and exciting new rewards, Season 15 is set to deliver a balanced and engaging experience.
