There are currently a total of nine 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 onwards, you can climb all the way to up Challenger, the highest rank in the game.

Here are all the ranked borders in League of Legends.

Iron is at the bottom of the ladder and 4.3 percent of players are part of this tier, according to data from League of Graphs. Half of Iron players are concentrated in Iron I. This tier was recently added after Riot said there needed to be additional tiers at the bottom and top parts of the ladder to dilute the players from Bronze and Masters.

Silver has the highest percent of players at 33 percent, according to League of Graphs. The largest biggest part, 11 percent, is concentrated in Silver IV, mostly due to the fact that new accounts end up in Silver after placements.

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 0.16 percent are a 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 in the game 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, with there being limited slots depending on the server. Players will have to reach 200 LP and then overtake a player that might be placed higher in the standings to be promoted to Grandmaster. Only 0.029 percent of players are a part of this tier.

Challenger

Challenger is the top 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 will have to overtake a player if the spots were filled already to get promoted to Challenger. Only 0.012 percent of players are a part of this tier, according to League of Graphs.
