![]() High elo is considered Master tier and above. Elo refers to the tier and can be used interchangeably as such, even though the term comes from chess and refers to the specific ‘elo ranking system’ which League used before they introduced their own ranking system – little history lesson for you guys, free of charge. Since we’re looking at tiers and ranks, we also want to know whether our rank is considered ‘high elo’. Teach us more, Professor Ryze! | © Riot Games What is Considered High Elo? The only difference is how they approach the game, but as we said before, from the average, it seems that playing flex queue – though you have the advantage of communication – seems to place players in lower ranks than their solo queue tier. ![]() This goes for both flex queue and solo/duo queue, where the differences between the player base doesn’t seem to differ too greatly – it’s still the same players playing the game. So just out of Silver and on the cusp of making it into the mid-tier of the ranked ladder. This is math guys and I hate math, but I worked hard on calculating all this, so please appreciate it.īut now, looking at the complete player distribution and going into the specific tiers of each rank, we can tell that the average League of Legends player is in Gold IV. The highest tiers in League of Legends can’t even complete a margin of 1%. Of course, the least amount of players makes up the Challenger, Grandmaster and Master tier, where even if you combine them together, you get a population of a mere 0.165% of all League of Legends players. Around 65% of players are in those two LoL tiers alone – both in flex queue and solo/duo queue. The Average LoL rank is between Gold and Silver. | © Riot Games What is the Average LoL Rank? Master Tier seems so far away from where I'm placed. Someone who in solo queue is ranked Gold II could be friends with someone in Diamond II and those two coming together in flex would probably raise the tier of the gold player, but lower the tier of the diamond player in flex queue – I sure know I lower the tier of some of my friends when playing flex queue. This could be due to the fact that higher elo players could play together with lower elo players and therefore skew the hidden MMR, making players face opponents they aren’t ready for. ![]() In Flex Queue, there is a higher percentage of players in Silver tier than in solo queue. For many, flex queue is also used to practice together before Clash events, wherein teams can also get rewards.ĭoes this difference in communication have any impact on the LoL ranking distribution though? Most have their designated flex queue team – four friends and yourself – that try to achieve the highest rank possible together. This mode was created, so players could practice communication within games, something which is key when playing League of Legends. ![]() You can queue up in groups of two, three, four or five in flex queue. You can also gain LP and you create a rank with which you can gain end-of-year rewards as well. While solo and duo queue are meant for single players to rank up, flex queue was created for players to train together and form a team. Where do you want to place in Season 12? | © Riot Games Flex Queue Rank Distribution Therefore, Riot disabled duo queue for high-ranking League of Legends players. Well, ahead of the 2021 season, Riot decided to make this change since they felt that in higher ranks, communication plays a much larger role than in low and mid elo. You can queue up with your Bronze buddies any time and any day, but those in Master+ have had their duo queue restricted. If you’re meandering down in Bronze, then you have nothing to worry about. In Solo and Duo Queue, players can either play all on their lonesome with four randoms, or they can queue up with a friend to play together.
