How many ranks are in League of Legends in 2026?

There are ten ranked tiers in League of Legends as of Season 16: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger. Each tier from Iron through Diamond has four divisions, with IV being the lowest and I being the highest. Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger are the apex tiers and use a single LP-based leaderboard with no divisions.

Can you duo queue in Challenger in 2026?

No. Since patch 26.15 (July 28, 2026), Grandmaster and Challenger players, and players with GM or Challenger MMR, cannot duo in Solo/Duo in any region. Duo was open at every rank from January until that patch. Master players can still duo within tight limits.

Can a Gold player duo with a Diamond player?

No. The Solo/Duo queue rule limits you to one tier above or below your own rank, so a Gold player can only queue with Silver, Gold, or Platinum players. To queue with a Diamond friend, you would need to be Platinum or higher, or use Flex queue, which has no rank restrictions for Diamond and below.

What happened in the patch 26.9 ranked reset?

On April 29, 2026, all Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger players in NA, EUW, EUNE, BR, LAN, and TR were hard-reset to Master 0 LP, with both visible rank and MMR wiped. Apex tier baseline LP gain and loss was raised to ±30 to speed up climbs back to true skill. Diamond and below kept their rank fully intact.

What rank is most League of Legends players?

Roughly 50% of the entire ranked player base in Season 16 sits between Bronze I and Gold III, which makes Gold IV the statistically average rank. Reaching Platinum IV puts you in the top 30 to 35%, Emerald is the top 15%, Diamond is around the top 4 to 5%, and Master is the top 0.5% of all ranked players.

Can Master players duo with Diamond players?

Only Diamond I, and only if the Master player has less than 200 LP. A Master can also duo with another Master within 400 LP. Master cannot duo with Grandmaster or Challenger, and Diamond II and below would need to play Flex together instead.
