Six weeks. Three events. One Worlds Pass. Tons of rewards. Welcome to Worlds Season 2018.



Worlds Pass

September 27, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. PT – November 19, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. PT
1650 RP

Make the most of the season with the Worlds Pass and earn unlimited Worlds Tokens across all events. Start off with an icon, four orbs, and 200 tokens, then earn tokens in two ways exclusive to Worlds Pass holders:

  • For every Worlds Pass First Win of the Day (15 tokens per day).
  • For every match based on your performance grade, the map mode, and whether you saw victory or defeat (visit the FAQ for a breakdown)

With the Worlds Pass’s unlimited token earn rate, you also have the best shot at earning the new K/DA Kai’Sa (Prestige Edition) skin.

Deciding to buy later? Don’t worry; we'll stash the tokens you would have earned (excluding missed Worlds Pass First Wins of the Day) for you to claim upon purchase.

Team Revenue Share

September 27, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. PT – November 19, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. PT

This year we are increasing the amount of custom game content that allows you to directly support specific teams. We’re also changing the way we distribute revenue from the Championship skin and ward. As in previous years, 25% of all revenue will be available for teams who qualify for the event. This year, only half of this amount (12.5%) will be distributed based on tournament performance. The remaining portion (12.5%) will be distributed equally between all teams who qualify for the event. Qualifying for Worlds is an enormous achievement and we want to further recognize and reward all teams who make it to the event. Teams that win the World Championship will continue to be recognized with custom skins from which they will receive a portion of the revenue as well.

  • What is in a Worlds 2018 Orb and Spooky Position Orb?

    Worlds 2018 Orb

    • 1 random skin shard
    • 15% chance to obtain bonus orange essence equivalent to the upgrade cost
    • 1.5x multiplier to Gemstone and Mythic skin drop rates

    Spooky Position Orbs

    • 1 random skin shard for a selected position
    • 15% Chance to obtain 2 additional skin shards for that position
    • 1.5x multiplier to Gemstone and Mythic skin drop rates

    K/DA Orb

    • 1 random skin shard
    • 4% chance of K/DA Bag that reveals three skin shards and enough orange essence to upgrade all three
    • 4% chance to obtain an additional skin shard
    • 1.5x multiplier to Gemstone and Mythic skin drop rates
  • How do borders work?

    You need to own the icon and have the skin to see the border in the loading screen. If you craft the border, you won't see it until you use the skin. You can craft the border and buy the skin later and get access to the border then.

  • What are team chat cheers and team tags?

    Team chat cheers announce your support for your favorite team in the chat box at the start of every game, while team tags show up next to your summoner name throughout the event. Chat cheers and tags appear based on the Worlds 2018 team icon you equip from team support bundles—if you equip a gold icon, your cheer and tag will appear with some golden flair.

  • How do I earn Worlds Tokens with the Worlds Pass?

    Worlds Pass holders earn tokens for:

    • every Worlds Pass First Win of the Day.
    • every match based on your performance grade, the map mode, and whether you saw victory or defeat. See the table below for a breakdown.

    Worlds Tokens Payout

    Summoner's Rift   ARAM, Twisted Treeline, Rotating Game Mode  
    Rating Win Loss Win Loss
    S+, S, S- 14 8 10 6
    A+, A, A- 10 6 5 4
    B+ and below 6 3 3 1
  • Will the usual bundles for event orbs and Legacy championship skins be available?

    Yes. You can also buy them individually.

  • Will Championship Kha’Zix and the 2018 Championship Ward be available for Hextech crafting?

    Since Championship Kha’Zix and the 2018 Championship Ward are revenue-shared with the teams attending Worlds, they won't be obtainable through Hextech crafting until the Worlds event is over on November 19, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that time, these items will be eligible through Hextech crafting.

Event Passes again? I thought Riot learned their lesson the few times they tried having Event Passes and instead just pissed everyone off cause it means you have to literally buy your way into the event. What's worse is that unless you buy the Event Pass, you practically can't get any of the good loot from the event considering you can only get 360 Worlds Token from the normal missions, which gets you a single border or Worlds Orb. There is gonna be some backlash from this one; talk about bad decision making.

Nyanberry53 votes

??? People literally complained that Riot had no way for people to support Worlds besides the Championship skin. They even compared it to Dota's TI Pass, and now people like you are complaining that there is a battle pass???

Dave the First44 votes

This was my same thought, though the Worlds Pass doesn't contribute to the prize pool. If it contributed to the prize pool, I'd be all over it, but as it stands I'm on the fence.

Von Kaiser170 votes

Unpopular opinion here. When Riot announced they would have to cut on some stuff for Worlds because of cost, everyone said "sell event passes" now they're doing it and its still met with complaints? Bohoo you can't get any of the "good" loot, my dude, Riot is giving you a FREE skin shard. In addition to, ahem, the fact that the entire game is free! Like Jesus, some people can never get enough, maybe they should just remove all the extra free stuff and make you pay $80 for the base game, stop updating it bi-weekly, and still charge you for skins like any other game out there that you've probably spent way less time on. Maybe then there wouldn't be any complaining.

Bad at games50 votes

You're definitely right there, but the fact that assuming you buy the pass, complete every single worlds mission, and do every single First Win with the pass since day one, you can achieve a maximum of 920 tokens. This is 37% of the massive amount of 2500 tokens required for popstar Kai'sa. This would require getting an A score AND winning in 158 games in order to make up the difference. Surely you don't see a problem with this??? I don't have a problem with the idea of a pass, I really don't. In fact, I bought it, but after realizing what a complete and blatant rip off it is it seriously irritates me.

Cronovey28 votes

158 games over the course of 54 days really isn't that much though. If you can average 3 wins per day (about 2-2 1/2 hours assuming a couple losses) then you'll get plenty of value out of the pass.

The pass isn't for everyone; it's intended for those players who have a lot of time to sink. In addition, farming the tokens via ARAM isn't that bad because while the rewards are slightly lower, the games are done in about a third of the time.

It's not a rip-off, it just has an intended audience like most other things. I'm personally out of work for a few weeks with a broken foot, so for me I can get a large amount of value out of the pass since I have about 4-6 weeks to sit around doing a whole lot of nothing but ARAM farming or ranked grind. I'm someone in the targeted audience; so are streamers, students, etc.

DevilDeFeu98 votes

Can you make it so we can gift a worlds pass? I want my brother to participate but he will never buy it for himself. Thanks

"Tons of rewards"

A ton of tokens isnt really a reward when you only get 360 of them and an orb costs 300, borders 350, chroma 400 so literally youd be grinding for 5-6 weeks before you get anything meaningful. Cant even get a Chroma if you dont pay

Not exactly "tons of rewards"

ChrisP Toast63 votes

So what you're saying is we have to pay ~$10 to really participate in the event since you get almost no tokens without the pass (360) and even if you do it's a massive grind to get the stuff you paid for? Sounds good to me. Good luck getting that fucking Kai'sa skin unless you can play league all day. Don't get me wrong I like that the game is free but isn't this event supposed to hype Worlds not add a paywall to content?

Oleandervine51 votes

I don't think you quite understand what paywalls actually are. A paywall is like in a F2P phone game, where you run out of energy trying to do something, and have to pay to replenish, pay to increase inventory size, pay to buy that one specific item to allow you to complete the mission etc. League DOES NOT utilize paywalls. What you pay for is EXCLUSIVELY aesthetic content that in no way affects the gameplay. Don't act like a victim when nothing in this event is critical to you playing this game. It's all for looks and appearances, and nothing except your skill at this game is going to prevent you from doing anything related to gameplay.

ChrisP Toast55 votes

Paywall- an arrangement whereby access is restricted to users who have paid to subscribe

Access to unlocking the "rewards" is restricted to those who pay. If they want to release content we have to pay for I don't care that is how a business works. The problem is they are releasing the content under the idea that it is free and everyone can participate when it's really not. You have to buy the World Pass otherwise it's a month of grinding for a single border. The problem is it's a slimy tactic for sucking people into paying. The chromas cost 40 more points than you can get over the whole month event so you actually cant even get the good part of the event. They are giving you a hit of a drug to get you addicted.

Not once did I play the victim card I just expressed my discontent with the way the event was being handled.

Spartan Chris61 votes

Man cant wait to go on that 658 winning spree while getting s- or better in ever game for the next 6 weeks so I can get all the loot. Who else is excited for the grind?

Wait a second here... If I'm getting this right, I have to log on and do a huge amount of quests for over a month to get the maximum amount of credits available to non-pass holders, and I will be 40 credits short (or one week of quests) for even a single championship chroma? That's a bit disappointing.

Imagine producing a free game and a free to watch esports league then being called greedy lol*[zombie-brand-mindblown]*

I Love Thresh37 votes

Yeah, advertising a free event with "tons of loot" and then hiding it behind a paywayll if you want even one single chroma and nothing is a slimy tactic. Did you do the math? A chroma and a border (I say that cuz that's what I personally want) aren't worth 1.6k RPs and hours of grinding.

Imagine not knowing the "free game" has over a billion in net worth and then thinking they need the money despite their "free" esports being riddled with sponsors and ads. Imagine being a pro players with over 12 hour practices, no time to yourself with the constant moving and various matches, and no time to see your friends, family, or do anything really. Imagine only getting 25% of all the income you should be making. Now imagine idiots like yourself saying the person taking the other 75% of your income needs the money when they have billions.

You know nothing. You are talking like the company that not only produces the game you play (for thousands, if not millions worldwide), but also foots the bill for the eSports venue, advertising, event planning, and everything else involved with keeping the game going and the event going, is somehow not entitled to the revenue that their event is going to generate. Like do you think they do all of this out of good will and donations? They do it to make money, so they can keep doing it in the future. You are not considering that employees have salaries - ranging from probably 25K a year for like their cleaning crew to upwards of 40-50K for their programmers, tech people, and then even higher for upper management. Get a grip on reality. Riot cannot operate on fumes if they want to be a successful business. They have to take a cut of the revenue they generate.

PLUS, those eSports players would be absolutely nothing without Riot keeping the game going. Their salaries and careers are 100% dependent on Riot keeping their lights on.

Considering every comment you have one this page has already been downvoted into oblivion, I don't even need to waste my time letting you know how you're wrong. Thanks for the effort though hun~ [sg-lulu]

Just because I've been downvoted doesn't make it any less of a point. It just means people don't like it. The truth of it is, it's a non-essential purchasing option for the game. People clearly don't like that truth, and will continue to plaster it as if it's some kind of greedy bid - I fail to see how a free game can be greedy just because they're not giving you paid aesthetic content for free. If you can elaborate and explain how that's greedy, then by all means, enlighten me. Explain to me how non-essential aesthetics being something you have to purchase is greed, when the entirety of the gameplay itself is free.

The price. The ridiculous amount of money and time you're expected to invest for... Not even actual skins, is what they're being greedy on. When the prices were fair (read: when you could purchase the stuff you wanted for a set price without having to grind on top of that), nobody really complained about that sort of stuff. If someone wants one chroma and nothing else, they should be able to pay whatever the price of a regular chroma is in the shop and leave it at that, not pay over 1k rp and then grind, and maybe eventually get extra tokens for stuff they don't really want. And since you only have a limited amount of time to get those, it puts pressure on people to make the purchase, too.

I figure you're worried about the revenue of Riot for their employees I guess, how much are you being paid for this shilling?

Ran the math on the current store.

Subtracting the new Kha'Zix skin from this since I got it from Hextech crafting.

It would still cost:

640RP-Champion shipward 1,650RP-World Pass 1,045RP-Championship Kha'Zix 62,160RP-All Esport team Chroma Bundles.(9,360RP just for all the chromas.) 81,250RP-All World's Token collectables(Gold chromas, Borders, ward, emote, etc.)

Total=146,745RP rounding up 150,000RP approximately for everything or 1,000$USD.

Even if you were to do ALL of the missions you'd barely even be able to get any of the good rewards(Provided you have the corresponding championship skin to begin with.)

Riot I like the game, I like the content your company brings...But Jesus tap-dancing Christ...Even as a collector I have to draw the line in the sand somewhere at some point and this is definitely one of those times, these prices are just insane for a limited time only event.

GG no RE, Riot Games.

COLDSNOWKILLER13 votes

Sorry I forgot to add in the extra cost of Kai'Sah Prestige edition which will cost 2,500 Worlds tokens which equates to an additional 31,250RP/210$USD.

Which brings in a new total of 177,995RP rounding up approximately for everything to instead 180,000RP or 1,210$USD.

COLDSNOWKILLER12 votes

Hi, back with more math.

For those that do buy worlds pass you are able to earn 340 tokens in the given missions total, you are also given 200 tokens in the bundle itself.

You have the chance of gaining 540 tokens if you were to complete the first win of the day worlds mission EVERY DAY for 10 worlds tokens starting from September 27th through November 19th.

So adding up:

200 340 540

1,080 tokens total possible for worlds pass, IF you have it.

So how are you supposed to earn the rest for Pop star Kai'Sah?

"IN THEORY" you can gain the rest by playing naturally.

If you were to WIN with average of B+ and below you earn 6 tokens.

If you LOSE with a average score of B+ and below you earn 3 token.

So you would need to win 237 games on Summoners rift which would give you 1,426 worlds tokens.

Or lose 474 games of Summoners rift which would give you 1,426 worlds tokens.

Mind you you only have 54 days to complete such a daunting task.

Good luck to those that actually want to take on this challenge.

More random loot boxes and tokens and other "gotcha" free-to-play marketing tricks. Really wish they went back to the days when it was "buy X content, get X content." Not "get tokens to unlock this content which then gives you a border and icon for only 550 RP more!" Just sell the content directly.

Also, this "one Chromas per team" is so silly. To get every Kha'Zix chroma it is 10920 RP (28*390). Just makes me want to get none of them since I don't fan out over a single team but prefer following specific players.

Remember when Riot used to just sell the content instead of having all these exclusive bundled content to nickle-and-dime a few more RP at every turn? I remember. Pepperidge Farm remembers. Hopefully, you remember.

duvaxP18 votes

TBH I don't think they intend for anyone to buy all the chromas. I think the point is to get the one from the team you like the most to support them. And having the option even for every team, even if they are from smaller and lesser known regions, is actually pretty good.

ElemenTriks34 votes

This massive line of missions can only net you 1 worlds orb + enough tokens to buy a second orb... Really? After Odyssey, this feels incredibly lackluster. How greedy can you possibly be in trying to sell an Event Pass purely from the hype of Worlds and promise for A PORTION the money to go into prize pools? Not sure how you managed to disappoint people before the event even began, but here we are.

"Tons of rewards". BULLstuffing, there's almost no reward at all for people who don't no-life your game AND pay just to participate in the event. Grinding for days+ to do all those missions barely rewards anything at all, and even if you pay you have to sacrifice your soul to the game to earn stuff. I suggest getting rid of the pass entirely, or rework its benefits. Triple the token rewards across the board, maybe the pass could make it x5 from what it is now, or double the adjusted amount, and gives you a couple pass exclusive items up front (A border, an icon, an emote or two, and the current lump sum of upfront tokens).

I'm extremely disappointed Halloween content is being locked behind this same paywall + grindwall.

Lil Bear1025 votes

Aram should not give less tokens specially since its harder to earn a high rating in it due to the deaths you usually take. Unless you're constantly playing a carry role then you'll most likely be scoring A- at best. I really hate how much riot undermines ARAM games even though it still takes the same effort to win. Was ready to buy but now i definitely wont be.

Gogoatee8 votes

I figured that you got less tokens because they take less time.

Stexe24 votes

How much would it cost to get all the exclusive content? Every border, every chroma, and so on that isn't coming back next year? Has anyone done the math?

Vhan876523 votes

If you wanted to get at least 1 of every item from the event loot, it takes roughly 10,000 tokens in total. I don't know how much RP that converts into, but it'll definitely cost a pretty decent amount.

HiddenTeddybear10 votes

2,500 tokens for Prestige Kai'sa is 250$ I read, so I would guess a thousand dollars for 10,000.

If you're really a collector, the Kaisa is essentially free. You just roll her in hextech because she's the only skin you don't have. Keep it High Lollin.

This is probably the ONLY way we'll be able to get her unless you have money running out of your eyeballs.

The pass idea is ok but if this is a response to the dota battle pass then it should do some more things. First of all it should add in some % to the worlds prize pool. Also there should be some milestones rewards when the prize pool reaches x value. And while things like the golden chromas and the prestige skin are a step in the right direction, the overall content this pass gives feels a bit bare bones, considering the dota battle pass gives access to alternate game modes, special particle effects, a card collecting system, etc. I know a lot of those things aren't possible for league and I like the idea of a worlds pass but it could definitely be fleshed out more into something that feels more like an event pass rather than "just a bunch of bundled skins you have to grind for" pass.

Are bot games allowed for earning tokens?

Since it says PVP (player vs player) on almost every mission, I am assuming no.
