League of Legends introduces a new progress system with Season 12. The Challenges provide different tasks and bring you various achievements and rewards. There is even a ranking system. We from MeinMMO explain everything important to you.
Update: This article was originally published in November 2021 and was last updated on March 31, 2022.
The Challenges are a new progress system that you can open via a new tab in the LoL client. There you will find various challenges that you can master and earn rewards from.
Currently, the Challenges are only available on the PBE, but they are expected to be implemented in the game for Season 12. Then every player will have free access to the Challenges.
The challenges offer several rewards. Through the challenges, you can earn success points and climb a ranking. The more challenges you complete, the higher your rank. The scale goes from Iron to Challenger.
Your rank in the Challenges is displayed on the loading screen and in the friends list.
Additionally, there are new titles that you can earn.
The release is planned for Patch 12.9 in May 2022.
6 Main Categories and over 300 Challenges
What do the Challenges look like exactly? At the start, there will be 6 categories where you can find Challenges.
- Creativity: Here you need to make innovative plays and play different modes
- Expertise: This is about defeating enemies
- Teamwork & Strategy: Cooperation is especially important here
- Veteran Status: Here you need to win with different items or different champions
- Collection: Here you need to collect many champions, summoner icons, and co.
- Legacy: Here there will be special achievements that are time-limited
Within these categories, there are over 300 challenges that you can complete.
These include getting Pentakills, having more CS than all other players, claiming dragon souls, or winning games without dying. The selection is huge.
How are the rewards displayed on the loading screen? In the future, the loading screens will have three pages:
- Page 1 – Game Information: Champion/Skin, Ranking Frame, First Strike Frame, Summoner Name, Title & Icon, Summoner Spell, Runes, and Honors
- Page 2 – Champion Information: Champion Mastery and Eternals
- Page 3 – Player Information: Rank, Challenge Crystal, Challenge Tokens
You can check how exactly the 3 pages look in this screenshot:
What do you think of the new challenges? Are they a reason for you to play even more and perhaps even aim for such achievements? Or do you find all the progress systems exaggerated by now?
With Season 10 in 2020, the Eternals system was introduced in the game. It is still active. We have summarized everything important here:
