The new ranked season 2021 is now live in League of Legends. We will tell you what you need to know about the new ranked system to get as high this year as you want.
Now if you are playing ranked matches for the first time you will start you climb from your personal skill level but not from the default position. That means that all your performance in normal matches now will be taken into the account in the first place. This also improves match quality for everyone else since new accounts will be matched with players actually close to their skill level.
Ass for the players who has been played before you will see that your starting position after the placements will be higher than usual. It means that you will be placed way closer to your last season result.
Now you will not need to play promo matches when you climb between divisions in your tier. There will be a defined number of LP that you need to earn to automatically enter higher division (from Silver 2 to Silver 3 etc.). All the spare LP will move to the next level with you. But just as promos demote protection is also gone. SO when you reach 0 LP you will demote to the lower division.
The climb between the tiers (from Silver to Gold etc.) still have both promos and demote protection.
Some improvements here will improve your matchmaking. As now your teammates and opponents will come from the closest displayed rank with you, not just their MMR.
To avoid potential matchmaking errors the LP gains and losses will be slightly smaller this season. That happens to make everything written above work fine.
There is weekly cap of LP mitigation that will make you lose less points in case you have AFK on your team. The AFK will lose more LP and everything depends on your overall performance before he leaves the game. If you were dominating you will lose less LP, if you were far behind you may lose a normal number of LP as for a simple loss.
You can rush for Challenger right away as all high ranked tiers are open. The number of places in Challenger tier is limited to your region.

Players in Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger can no longer duo queue. That will make the game more fair as it is very hard to get to the top.
Diamond now uses the same banked-game decay system as Master+, though with more relaxed tuning:
