From Iron to Challenger.

League of Legends players can compete in the game’s fiercely competitive ranked mode to earn a ranked border at the end of the season, which they can show off to their friends and teammates via the loading screen.

There are currently a total of 10 ranked borders in the game. You’ll begin in Iron, the lowest rank, during your placement matches and have the chance to hit Gold. If you continue winning games from that point onward, you can climb all the way to Challenger, the highest rank in the game. Here are all the ranked borders in League.

Iron

Iron is at the bottom of the ladder and 8.4 percent of players are part of this tier, according to data from League of Graphs. Almost half of Iron players are concentrated in Iron I. This tier was added in 2018 after Riot said there needed to be additional tiers at the bottom and top parts of the ladder to dilute players from Bronze and Masters.

18 percent of players are Bronze, according to data from League of Legends. This was the lowest tier until Iron was introduced to the game in December 2018.

Silver

According to League of Graphs, Silver holds 18 percent of total League playerbase. The largest biggest part, 5.1 percent, is concentrated in Silver IV, mostly because new accounts end up in Silver after placements.

Gold

Emerald was added to League in July 2023. This is a rank between Platinum and Diamond, and it’s meant to equalize the rank distribution between mid to low tier players. Currently, 17 percent of players are in Emerald.

Diamond

Diamond is still one of the most sought-after ranks in League. For many players, this is the rank that marks the beginning of high-elo, and for a good reason. Around 4.1 percent of players are part of this tier, with the highest two percent sitting in Diamond IV.

Master

Master is the first tier that has no divisions. Players can earn more than 100 LP, and if they reach a certain threshold, they’ll get promoted to Grandmaster. Around 0.29 percent are part of this tier, according to League of Graphs. Once players reach this tier, they often start looking for opportunities to become professional players in various academy leagues over the world. This is a great scouting ground for new emerging talents within the region.

Grandmaster

Grandmaster is one of the two apex tiers that have the most skilled and competitive players in each region. Players need a minimum threshold of 200 LP to reach Grandmaster from Master. But that’s not the only restriction, as there are limited slots depending on the server. Players have to reach 200 LP and overtake a player that might be placed higher in the standings to be promoted to Grandmaster. Only 0.034 percent of players are a part of this tier.

Challenger

Challenger is the highest tier. Most professional players or solo queue stars are in this tier, creating a highly competitive environment for those who reach it. Players need a minimum threshold of 500 LP to reach Challenger from Grandmaster. There are also limited slots depending on the server. After reaching the LP threshold, players have to overtake a player if the spots are filled already to get promoted to Challenger. Only 0.015 percent of players are a part of this tier, according to League of Graphs.
