With New Year’s Eve behind us, League of Legends players are gearing up to grind the next season of the game.
Now that the preseason changes are two months old, the players have adjusted to the new jungle systems, items, and gameplay overall. In the end, the latest preseason introduced a bunch of fresh aspects, from jungle pets to new pings, revamped Chemtech Dragon, and more.
Moreover, the ranked system for League was updated as well. From now on, the year will have two ranked resets instead of one. As a result, the players that reached a certain rank will be awarded two skins instead of one, each for every season.
Riot also made sure that if a player who reached Gold in one season, but was afterward devoted, is also going to receive the skin for climbing Gold at least once every season. Furthermore, even if someone won’t be able to reach that rank, but played enough games, they will also be rewarded the same skin for their dedication. The points’ distribution is also seeing some changes, with the wins granting players a bit more points than usual, while losses will cut a little less than before.
With 2023 kicking in and so many announced changes, players are asking when exactly will the 2023 League of Legends ranked season begin. And, luckily, it sooner than later.
When does the 2023 League of Legends ranked season begin?
For a few weeks, the exact date of the inauguration of the 2023 League of Legends ranked season has been unknown. Luckily, the devs cleared out that matter in the Patch 13.1 preview.
Riot Phlox, one of the main designers for the game, announced that the ranked season will begin as Patch 13.1 ships in on Tuesday, Jan. 10. The patch will also bring a bunch of much-needed updates, nerfing the most overpowered champions, while buffing some of those who are struggling. As a result, the ranked season should start in a balanced meta, or at least we hope so.
So far it also remains unknown how long the first ranked season of 2023 will last, and when exactly the second one will begin. Although, more details on this matter should be shed by Riot in the coming months.
