The Latest Updates on League of Legends Season 10
Season 9 of League of Legends wrapped up on Nov. 19, and the game has wasted no time in introducing significant changes for the preseason. With the arrival of patch 9.23, players can now experience what’s in store for season 10. This preseason is the perfect opportunity for players to adapt to the changes and fine-tune their skills before placement games begin.
Preseason 2020: What You Need to Know
The preseason officially started with the release of patch 9.23 on Nov. 19. This patch brings a wide range of changes, including elemental rifts, dragon souls, alterations to jungle paths, new items, and updated runes. However, it’s important to note that ranks were locked during the maintenance period.
These changes have a significant impact on gameplay, particularly in the competitive scene. That’s why the preseason is essential as it allows players to adapt and prepare for the upcoming season. Although players can still play ranked games during the preseason, their ranks will eventually be reset.
Ranked games still hold value during the preseason. When the new season starts, all ranks will be reset. Players who continue to play throughout the preseason can potentially improve their positioning for the next season’s placement games. On the other hand, those who choose not to play will remain at the reset rank.
When Can You Expect Season 10 to Begin?
Players can continue honing their skills without impacting their season 10 LP until the end of the year. Since each ranked season corresponds to a calendar year, season 10 will kick off in 2020. Mark your calendars because season 10 is set to start on Jan. 10, 2020. At that point, players will need to complete 10 placement matches to determine their division for the upcoming year of ranked play.
