2017 SEASON
DRAWS TO A CLOSE
With just one more month left to rack up some Ws, there’s no time like the present to jump into ranked and earn rewards!
2017 SEASON ENDS: NOVEMBER 07
2018 SEASON STARTS: JANUARY 16
This year you can earn a new Victorious skin for Graves, show off your end-of-season ranking, and get purrfect vision with a new Victorious ward skin. And, as promised earlier this year, we’re adding a small reward for fighting with Honor.
The 2017 season ends November 7. The 2018 season starts January 16.

VICTORIOUS GRAVES + CHROMAS
Victorious Graves, granted for finishing the season at Gold or above, comes with additional chromas depending on which queue you levelled up in
The most-wanted outlaw in Bilgewater shows off years of skillful heists by wearing the finest regalia gold can buy. His shiny gilded gun and ceremonial draping will surely distract opponents long enough to land a well-timed Collateral Damage.
SILVER ×2
VICTORIOUS WARD SKIN
Climb to Silver in more than one ranked queue to get your hands on 2017’s Victorious ward skin
We’re repealing and replacing the requirements for the Victorious ward and opening it up to folks who want to crush in multiple queues. While Victorious Graves is still locked at Gold, we wanted to spread rewards out to encourage your Silver V mid laner to actually use these things (for once).
HONOR REWARDS
We’ve decided on a new, exciting way to reward great teamwork, shotcalling and resilience in game: All honorable players walk away from the season knowing they’re good people, because fighting with Honor is its own reward.
Just kidding. Here’s what you actually earn:
HONOR WARD SKINS
Reaching Honor level 3 or higher at the end of the season grants you a unique ward skin based on your level
LEVEL 3
LEVEL 4
LEVEL 5
These ward skins have been significantly tested and researched, with our data demonstrating a 389% reduction in unsportsmanlike behavior.
FAQ
-
When does the season end? The 2017 season ends November 7 at 23:59 local time. A game has to start before 23:59 to count towards your final ranking. However, the final Challenger ladder standing locks at 23:45, so make sure your game ends by then if you’re chasing those top spots!
-
When does the 2018 season start? The 2018 season starts January 16, 2018.
-
When do rewards hit my account? All rewards arrive within one month of the end of season (some rewards may appear faster than others, so don’t worry if you don’t get them all at once).
-
I don’t own Graves and I’m going to be Gold! Help! If you don’t own Graves and you hit Gold+, we’ll unlock Graves alongside his skin for you.
-
Are ranked borders queue-specific? Yeah! In case you're wondering about the non-ranked queues, check out the chart below. For example, if you get Gold in Flex, but Silver in Solo/duo, what border shows when you play a Normal SR? Or ARAM?
- Normal SR: Shows highest of Solo/Duo or Flex
- Normal TT: Shows TT Flex reward
- RGM/ARAM/Custom: Shows highest of any reward
- Co-op SR: Shows highest of Solo/Duo or Flex reward
- Co-op TT: Shows TT Flex reward
- Ranked Solo/Duo: Shows Solo/Duo reward
- Ranked Flex SR/Flex TT: Shows Flex reward, depending on SR or TT
-
Can I use my borders from previous seasons? Nope, sorry. You gotta put in the time!
-
Where can I learn about preseason? You’ll find everything you need to know on the Preseason 2018 site.
-
What happens to my rank in preseason? Your rank won’t decay during preseason and you can still play through promotions and demotions (we’re turning rank decay off during preseason). When the new season starts, you’ll play 10 placement games and get seeded into a rank based on your MMR and placement performance.
-
Am I eligible for these rewards? As we announced in August, certain players are ineligible for this season’s rewards:
- Players with bans or chat restrictions active when the season ends.
- Players issued a ban of seven days or more after 8/22/2017.
- Players banned for boosting during the 2017 season.Players who experience fraud-related or erroneous bans will still be eligible.
-
What’s happening with physical Challenger rewards? We heard your feedback on last year’s program. Quality, registration time, and shipping were all major pain points -- so we want to go back to the drawing board with physical Challenger rewards and make sure we can create something that feels good while also being practical to ship worldwide. We’ll have more info on this later this year.
