Season 14 Ranked Split 2 Changes
Split 2 aims to address some of the biggest pain points for ranked players, including frequent negative LP gains, ranked climb fatigue, and demotion anxiety. Players can look forward to four major changes in Split 2:
- Players can now place as high as Diamond III after provisional games (previously Emerald I in Split 1)
- Demotion protection between divisions is removed, meaning you’ll transition smoothly between divisions based on LP gains and losses. (e.g., losing at 10 LP and losing 25 LP will move you to 85 LP in the division below).
- Demotion from tiers (e.g., Silver IV to Bronze I) will place you at 25, 50, or 75 LP in the lower tier depending on your MMR at the time of demotion compared to your rank
- Master Duo will be enabled in all regions except China and Korea (this stops at Grandmaster)
Get ready to dive into a more refined Ranked system in Split 2! Good luck and have fun!
