League of Legends has a dynamic queue ranked system where players can climb the ladder. Rather than using a simple number like Chess, Riot have opted to use a system where players can see their progress through a badge. This badge is known as a division and this short post takes a look at all the divisions currently available in League of Legends as well as explaining how you can be promoted and demoted.

League of Legends Division Overview

As of the start of the League of Legends season, ranked play in League of Legends is split into the following 9 leagues:

  • Iron
  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond
  • Master
  • Grandmaster
  • Challenger

In Season 9, all leagues will be tiered into four divisions, instead of five (I, II, III, IV – with IV being the lowest and I being the highest.) We’re not sure why Iron is worse than Bronze, but we think Riot missed an opportunity to add the ‘wood’ division!

As players win games they gain League Points, also known as LP. The amount of LP won per game varies from player to player and is dependent on your Match Making Rating, or MMR. Upon reaching 100 LP in a given division, players enter a promotion series, where they must win a majority of their games to prove they belong in a higher division.

If a player loses a game, they will lose LP. And, if they continue to lose, they’ll hit zero LP. In this case, a player may be demoted if their MMR is too low for their current division.

How promotion/demotion works in League of Legends

Promotion series to a higher division (e.g. Gold II > Gold I):

  • Players must win 2 out of 3, or 66%, of their games to advance.
  • If the player fails the promotion series, they will lose an amount of LP which varies depending on the games’ outcome.
  • Losing the first two games in a series will result in the greatest LP loss.
  • If the player wins their promotion series without loss, and has an MMR higher than their division, they may skip a division (e.g. Gold V to Gold III).

Promotion series to a higher league (e.g. Gold I > Platinum V):

  • Players must win 3 out of 5, or 60%, of their games to advance
  • LP loss for losing the promotion series follows the same rules as promotion to a higher division.
  • Players with a high MMR may be promoted directly to a division higher than V (e.g. Gold I àPlatinum III).

Promotion to Challenger (Grandmaster Tier > Challenger):

  • Players in the Grandmaster Tier must be in the top 200 ranked players on the server in terms of LP.
  • Every 24 hours at midnight, any Master Tier players in the top 200 ranked players will be promoted to Challenger.
  • Any Challenger players outside the top 200 in terms of LP will be demoted to Master Tier.

Demotion to a lower division (e.g. Gold I > Gold II):

  • If a players LP reaches zero, they are in danger of being demoted.
  • Players will be demoted when their MMR falls below an acceptable level for their division.

Demotion to a lower league (e.g. Gold V > Silver I):

  • Starting in season four, League of Legends introduced a mechanism whereby players can be demoted to a lower league (previously this was not possible.)
  • When a player’s MMR falls significantly below their current league (to around one full league lower – such as playing at the skill level of a Silver V player when they’re in Silver III,) they may be demoted to a lower league.
  • You can also be demoted through inactivity when you are in leagues higher than Platinum.

League of Legends leagues overview

All stats are accurate as of December 2018 (Season 8)

Rank

Iron

The Iron Division is rock bottom – don’t ask us why Bronze is better than Iron, but just go with it.

Iron League stats:

  • 4.01% of the active player base across all servers
  • Iron is a division with an extremely low population. If you’ve ended up here, perhaps you should consider asking a friend to help boost you out.
  • Strangely, Iron seems to be less toxic than Bronze. Perhaps it’s because in Bronze, people fear they will be demoted and become the worst of the worst. Iron suffer from that and is more laid back.
  • The average KDA in Iron is 2.05 which comes from an average of 5.64 Kills, 6.33 Deaths and 7.35 Assists.

Bronze

League Of Legends Rank Distribution 2019

Bronze is the second lowest league in League of Legends, with Bronze V being the lowest possible division.

Bronze League stats:

  • 11% of the active player base across all servers
  • Bronze I is used to be one of the most common divisions, with 1.55 million players globally, however, its population has dropped drastically
  • Conversely, Bronze V is one of the least common divisions
  • Bronze is considered by some players to be the hardest league to get out of, due to the high number of trolls and griefers

  • Platinum V is the most common division, with 1.2 million players globally
  • Platinum I is the least common division, with 110,000 players globally

  • The average KDA in Platinum is 2.57 which comes from an average of 5.79 Kills, 5.61 Deaths and 8.65 Assists.

Master Tier

Master Tier is a bit different to the rest of the leagues, in that it doesn’t have divisions but instead is based solely on an LP ladder. Players in Master Tier that rank among the top 200 players on their server in terms of LP get promoted to Challenger once every 24 hours, replacing the Challenger players with less LP than them. There is no limit on the number of players in Master Tier, unlike Challenger which has a 200 player cap.

Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook: Force and Destiny Core Rulebook.

Master Tier stats:

  • 1,015 players (0.03% of the active player base) across all servers.
  • Many pros player in Master Tier and it’s not uncommon for high master tier players to be approached to play on professional teams.
  • The average KDA in master is 2.7 which comes from an average of 4.94 Kills, 4.67 Deaths and 8 Assists.

Grandmaster Tier

If you’ve reached this tier, then give yourself a pat on the back – you stand a fair chance of being picked up by a pro eSports team! The player cap still holds true here, hence why the population is so low., and if you want to hit Challenger, you’ve got an immense climb ahead of you.

Grandmaster Tier stats:

  • 0.02% of the active player base across all servers.
  • The assist ratio is remarkably high in this tier, as with most other high tiers – a clear indication that working together matters much more than going for kills
  • The average KDA in master is 2.45 which comes from an average of 5.69 Kills, 5.44 Deaths and 7.61 Assists.

Challenger Tier

Lol Team Ranking

Challenger Tier contains the best of the best in League of Legends. The majority of players in Challenger play in pro eSports teams or are well known streamers/personalities. Some pro players have several smurf accounts in Challenger. There is a player cap of 200 in Challenger (including smurfs) – any players who rank outside of the top 200 in terms of LP at midnight each day will be relegated to Master Tier.

Challenger Tier Stats:

  • This is only the top 200 players in each Region which means it’s a tiny percentage of the global player base.
  • It’s not uncommon for a professional player to have multiple accounts in Challenger at once. At one point WildTurtle had 4 Accounts in Challenger. His main account and three League of Legends smurf accounts.
  • The average KDA in challenger is 2.79 which comes from an average of 5.3 Kills, 4.65 Deaths and 7.7 Assists.

Wood V

Wood V is a purely fictional in game league referred to by many players. Suggesting someone belongs in Wood V is to say that they are so bad that they would be below even the standard of Iron V. So there you have it, a simple overview to the League of Legends leagues and divisions in Season 5.

Want to Improve your League of Legends rank?

Just finished a small longitudinal data project. Not real happy with how it turned out, but figured I should document it anyway. Frustrated it doesn’t look better, also that it didn’t get more attention.

Here’s the deliverable: a Reddit post. It’s a visualization of rank inflation in League of Legends over the course of the last year, Season 6. I collected the data by hand out of curiosity. The resulting visualization more or less confirms what people who pay attention already knew; there is inflation. Only 15 upvotes which is crappy engagement for something I spent several hours on.

I tinkered with the visualization for awhile. The colors are meaningful, they represent Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum to folks who play the game. (There’s also White for Diamond+). There’s 5 divisions within each tier, that’s the black lines. And then some ugly caption text because I wanted to condense the whole thing down to a single shareable image.

I produced it using iPython, Pandas, and matplotlib. I really like Pandas’ abstraction of a DataFrame, it’s a very powerful tool for working for a matrix of numbers. Even so I have a lot of data massaging code to get from my original spreadsheet to a clean list of numbers. Deleting extra rows, transposing rows/columns, converting “93%” to 0.93, etc etc.

I really don’t like matplotlib. I’ll paste my graph generation code below, it’s super ugly. There’s like seven ways to set options. Flags passed to the Pandas plot() function, functions called on the global matplotlib object, functions called on the global pyplot object, functions called on the axis objects, two different ways to modify RC parameters, etc etc. Just a mess. Maybe this is my ignorance though and there’s a way to simplify / rationalize it all.
