Update on the Conclusion of Season 1 - What the FU'CK is Riot thinking about lowering the minimum required ELO to get certain designations. Makes those who put in all of their efforts to get to that point pre-adjustment useless now due to the easier requirements
And yes that's a solid confirmation of a soft reset you see there.

Season One will conclude with our next scheduled downtime. We have some additional important updates for you!
We wanted to let you know we're updating our Season One reward tiers to better represent and reward the competitive gamers in the community. We think the new structure provides more players with a chance to achieve higher tiered status without compromising the exclusivity of each rank.
We made these adjustments based upon the percentage of our playerbase that we wanted to recognize at each tier.
The new ladder reward tiers are:
* Platinum (Top 0.2%) - 1900 and above (3v3: 1700+, pre-made 5v5: 1750+): a framed summoner icon in platinum, a platinum banner in summoner profile, a platinum forum badge and a special skin for Jarvan IV
* Gold (Top 3%) - Between 1520 and 1899 (3v3: 1490-1699, pre-made 5v5: 1500-1749) : a framed summoner icon in gold, a gold banner in your summoner profile, a gold forum badge and a special skin for Jarvan IV
* Silver (Top 10%) - Between 1400 and 1519 (3v3: 1410-1489, pre-made 5v5: 1410-1499) : a framed summoner icon in silver and a silver banner in your summoner profile
* Bronze (Top 25%) - Between 1249 and 1399 (3v3: 1249-1409, pre-made 5v5: 1249-1409) : a bronze banner in your summoner profile
As we enter Preseason Two, we will be performing a graduated reset of the League of Legends ladder based on player performance in Ladder Season One. The vast majority of players (97%) will have their Elo reset to between 1100 and 1300 rating, with top and bottom performers falling anywhere between 906 and 1490 rating. Ladder gains made during Preseason Two will carry over into Season Two once it begins.
Season One will conclude with our next scheduled downtime, so be sure to work on that ladder rank quickly!
And yes that's a solid confirmation of a soft reset you see there.
