Any word on what double season rewards will be?

Dukues··2 votes·1,086 views

I already know it is going to be something stupid like an extra summoner icon. But is there any word on what the extra ranked rewards will be this season for getting gold + in both flex & solo queue?

It would be nice to know before I waste my time ranking up through flex queue. It would have been great if Riot didn't complete F me in BOTH queues.... but heh I am used to it. At least when I grind to gold I can say I earned it.... unlike a good chunk of players.

Still... I already hate flex queue and worst part is I already know the "extra" reward is probably going to be something marginal.

You guys should honestly work on your season rewards. They are pretty sad compared to every other moba. I get it..... you are the most popular and really helped start this free to play moba games industry we see. But still...... icon/borders and 1 skin for hitting a certain rank really isn't that much. Should give out RP rewards for getting higher ranks or other limited time rewards like different skin dyes for hitting certain ranks, etc. It would help keep players interested in ranked for longer and may lead to a higher population playing ranked queues. Which is a win since now more people in queue to lesson queue times.

P.S. I really hate that you started me in bronze in both queues this season when I had my highest rank finish of any season. Me getting gold in both queues is literally hundreds of games played and a lot of time invested. It feels really shitty knowing I get same rewards as someone who may be exact same skill level but started in gold or high silver and only had to play a handful of games. FIX YOUR PLACEMENT SYSTEM PLEASE!

Same thing happened to me. Because season 6 was an utter shit show, I didn't play and apparently suffered ridiculolus MMR decay as a result and ended up starting in bronze this season even though I was gold ranked in last.

Yeah, I'd like to know what the rewards are.

While I've barely played for the past few months, I wouldn't be opposed to completing my 10 placement games in Flex Queue solely for the reward. Even if I manage to lose them all, I should end up in Gold.

Is flex queue tied to your solo/duo at all though? Pretty sure its a entire new queue. Which honestly makes no sense since it is basically dynamic queue.... never understood how our prior season 6 rank solo/duo was supposed to be based on our season 6 dynamic queue rank when flex queue replaced it. I am happy they did it that was so solo/duo wasn't more f'd up than it usually is, but still when you think about it doesn't make sense. Hell not sure why both aren't tied to it. Seems dumb thinking if someone is rank in 1 queue they can't get it in the other. At least when it comes to solo/duo rank and flex. Obviously there are situations where someone could get a high flex queue rank but can't achieve that same rank in solo/duo. But if someone diamond/plat/gold in solo/duo... why the F they start bronze in flex? Its been what 7 months? queue still really isn't that even. It's a lot better than when season started but even in my "bronze" games the average solo/duo rank (actual rank) is like silver 3 lol. Usually 1/3 of us are gold. Just makes the grind more annoying. If I am in "bronze" then let me stomp some bronze kids so I can rank up quicker.

Its your own fault for rushed, and not winning. This just feel like this because u are arrogant, and think u deserve better than other. I started bronze too, but my reward shouldn't be compare too other player result.

But still...... icon/borders and 1 skin for hitting a certain rank really isn't that much.

Its freee already, never happy. Greedy as hell.

Rp ?? nice joke.

Arrogant? LOL. If you going to throw a word around at least use it properly. So sick of kids in this game man. Sorry I have played this game forever and know how their system works. I know people tend to need to play a good number of games to reach their "actual" rank. But... not all people. Some get free handouts. Hell they still actually have to play to get their "actual" rank but most don't because they happy with free reward they got even though they would either drop ranks after 200 games or not move. Meanwhile others have to climb 8+ divisions. Just saying it shouldn't be this hard to be consistent..... If people are supposed to play 200 or w/e games to hit their true rank then build the system and placement around that.

... it's literally 1 free skin. Not exactly a HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment. They make hundreds of skins a season and make bank off them but then were supposed to lose our minds when they give out one free skin? Sorry I live in the real world.

So say 400 rp to like silver 800 to gold + and up from there is CRAZY HANDOUTS? lol....... I know they won't give RP but other games do... and they still make money and not nearly as much as Riot. Yet Riot can't even give a small portion of a free online currency that is only good in their game. Did you know they used to give out free 400 RP a few seasons ago just for playing? Apparently they can't afford that now..... lmfao. Just saying stop defending them saying giving a small amount of RP away is insane when it's actually quite common in other games. I don't expect hundreds of dollars of free RP and skins..... stop taking everything to such extremes.

They would probably go with IP. Which... ok cool. IP is meaningless to me but would work for a lot of players (at least new players). But you already know it would be like 1 to 2k lmfao. Which would be a joke.

So what's wrong with chromas? You don't think its dumb season rewards basically stop at gold? (besides a border/icon.... LMFAO). Well... at least until challenger. I already know if they offered more rewards for going higher it would increase player incentive to play a little. Even if it just chromas for the victorious skin..... it would be something. And this is coming from a player who will probably never rank higher than gold but still think its dumb plat - masters essentially get the same reward as gold just different color border/icon.
