What is the 2024 LoL Split 3?
LoL Split 3 is the third ranked season in League of Legends for the current 2024 year. Just like with previous splits, it’s basically the start of a new competitive season where ranks are partially reset and players have to climb again. Don’t worry, every split will require you fewer games to reach your previous rank so while you do have to grind, it shouldn’t take long as long as your level of play stays the same.
What’s coming with the new split?
Aside from resetting the ranks for the entire player base, Riot Games has taken the moment to make global changes to the in-game items, with the goal of reducing snowballing and trying to balance out the gameplay by putting more focus on the champion gameplay. By reducing the power of items, skill expression will become increasingly important to determine the overall outcome.
Aside from that, Riot is also looking to bring back one of the removed runes, Lethal Tempo. While it’s unlike the previous version of the rune, it’s a welcomed change that will likely be used by several champions in the game.
Split 3 Confirmed start date
As revealed by Riot, the LoL Split 3 will begin on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, with the release of the new Patch 14.19. So if you want to reach the highest rank possible in the second split, you will have time until September 24.
LoL Split 3 2024 rewards
Just like the previous seasons, players will receive rewards for reaching a certain rank in the game:
- Victorious emote
- Victorious icon
- Champion
- Victorious skin
- Victorious skin chromas (up to a maximum of nine for all rank chromas)
- End of Season ranked icon (one per season year, highest rank across all splits)
- Victorious skin splash border (requires obtaining all three Victorious skins from each split)
- Ranked emote (one per season year, reflecting the highest rank achieved in the season year)
To gain access to the Victorious skin, players will at least need to get to the gold rank. Higher ranks will grant extra chromas for the skin. For Split 2, Sona was the champion chosen for the Victorious skin.
