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!

Riot making ALL THE THINGS easier!

Tempted to go for silver...

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

Summoners!

And yes that's a solid confirmation of a soft reset you see there.

Edit: Damn it Josh stop ninjaing me.

They didn't lower anything. Elo brackets are a certain percentage of total ranked players. Same idea as the percentile score of a standardized test. Derp.

They lowered the ELO requirement to hit said percentile. Derp.

Side-note, HSNGG expressing mass rage for nerfed Nidalee. The mana cost on her heal is RIDICULOUS!

Also new ping is awesome / hilarious! It's set to "V" by default.

Herp. That feeling when I'll be rocking the ugly Jarvan skin. =/

The new artwork looks amazing and I chuckled at that picture. It's so perfect!

New post-game interface is so much better.

Some of the ingame stuff looks a lot cleaner now as well.

EDIT: Ran into a friend of an sper in solo que: Prescott.

I just tried Soraka in a bot game. Feels bad. Her Q isn't noticeably better, and the heals are what you would expect. But damn so much mana coming out of her E xD

Prescott has posted in this thread in the past, and he's a solid player.

I just won a game because our rumble accidentally stole Baron with his ult.

Wait a minute....

Ugh sorry Manu, Bob and Duel. Power went out and I got completely disconnected. Power goes back on and the game ended
I hate facing Veigar. Loss was my fault.
