How to Level Up Faster in League of Legends

There’s the paid option, which is a bit faster, and there’s the free one – grinding games daily, with Riot throwing some extra XP here and there, in order not to lose hope.

Buying XP Boosts

The simplest way to level up your new League of Legends account is to purchase an XP boost from the Riot Games store. These boosts will give you extra XP per game regardless of whether you win or lose. Obviously, you gain far more XP if you do win the match.

There’s also a choice for type of boosts. Riot offers boosts that last a limited number of days and also a boost that is Wins Only.

Here is how you can purchase an XP boost in League of Legends:

  1. Access the League of Legends store in the client.
  2. Click on the Accessories tab.
  3. Select Boosts.
  4. Purchase your desired type of boost.

Note that this method costs real money, as you will have to purchase the XP boosts with Riot Points.

Completing Challenges

Unfortunately, looking for a quick way to level up without paying is not really an option.

You can, however, gain some extra XP via challenges. These League of Legends challenges are additional tasks you can complete in your game to earn XP.

The easiest of them all was the win of the day. You will gain 400 XP when you win your first match of the day on any mode.

Grinding Co-Op vs AI

This is a more tedious task for players, but it is one of the quicker ways to level up. Co-Op vs AI involves you and four real players facing off against AI. Even on the harder-level bots, these games are significantly quicker than playing PVP, and you will earn the same amount of XP.

In this mode, you don’t want to interact with your teammates unless you are queuing up with players. Pick a champion who can push a lane quickly and secure objectives to destroy the enemies’ base quickly.

By playing this mode, you can cut your time in half, as PVP matches could take up to 40 minutes.

 

These are the three quickest ways of leveling up your account in League of Legends. This is for newer players who have not touched the game before. Take your time; there is no point in trying to get to level 30 as quickly as possible to play ranked if your skills are not at the level they should be.

You will most likely be placed in Iron, which can be difficult for newer players to get out of. Playing to level 30 will also earn you enough Blue Essence to purchase new champions to play from the Riot Games store.
