Hello there friends just hot news directly from RIOT I dont know where to post this but this contain information about new ranking system :

Your spot in Diamond 1 or Challenger tier means we wanted you to be among the first to know we’ve updated the design of our ranked play system specifically to address feedback around the end of Season 3 and Challenger.

We take ranked competition seriously, and we know challenger immunity caused issues with transparency around standings at the end of last season. Not knowing whether or not you were about to get kicked out of the tier you’d worked so hard to reach, or earning 0 LP three times in a row sucks.

So we’ve developed a new way to challenge your skills,  the Master Tier, which brings with it some improvements to the old system. Master Tier will share the same LP ladder as Challenger, but unlike Challenger, there is no hard player limit to Master Tier. Once released, players who reach their promotion series at the top of Diamond 1 will enter Master Tier if they are successful. And yes, that means that on release there will be no players in Master Tier, but it will begin to fill as soon as players start winning their promos.

When Master Tier launches, players in Challenger will remain in their current position, but the competition kicks off right away as Challenger will now rotate on a  twenty-four hour schedule with  no immunity .

Each time the clock hits zero, it will recalculate the top 200 players or 50 teams; promoting any players from Master who are now in the top 200 or teams in the top 50 in LP, and removing players who have fallen below the top 200 and demoting them to Master.

We’ll be making a wider announcement in the coming weeks (for example, we’ve also eliminated LP clamping) along with more about the end of the season, but as one of the players most impacted by this change, we wanted to reach out to you directly.

Thanks for playing ranked, and GLHF for the rest of the 2014 season,

Riot Socrates
