League of Legends V13.1

Client

Champion select

• Players can now directly navigate between the rune recommender and the editing page from the same screen.
• Smite will no longer be recommended as a summoner spell outside of the jungle role for champions whose most popular role is jungle.
• Champion names are now shown in champion select for the ARAM mode.
• Champion swapping visuals have been improved for clarity.

Competitive

• Season 2023 - Split 1 begins with the release of Patch 13.1 and ranks have been reset.
• New Ranked rewards have been added throughout climbing progress. These are earned through obtaining Split Points by completing games. 10 Split Points are earned for a win, reduced to 6 points for a loss.
• The Ranked skin for Split 1 is earnable by players of all ranks, but the amount of Split Points required varies by rank: 80 points for Gold and above and 1600 points for Silver and below. In addition, once the skin is earned, it remains earned even if demotion was to occur. The skin will be distributed after the end of Season 2023 - Split 1.
• Promotion Series have been reduced to a best of 3 from a best of 5.
• The restriction on duoing in Ranked Solo/Duo with an MMR of Masters or above is disabled until V13.3. Note that duo restrictions based on visible rank are still active, so a player who reaches Master or above will not be able to duo.
• Visible rank is no longer used as matchmaking criteria, only MMR (this was implemented in V12.23).
• Career stats have been reset for the new ranked season.

Customizer

• Bug Fix: Dropdown functions are now filtered consistently for the Identity Customizer.

Matchmaking

• Position preferences for draft modes (primary and secondary choices) are now preserved between sessions and across queues.

Mythic Content

  • Eclipse Knights 2022 Mythic Essence Icon
  • Ocean Song 2022 Mythic Essence Icon

Refund Tokens

• All players now have their refund tokens refreshed up to the maximum amount of 3 due to the complexity associated with maintaining this system leading to delays in the annual refresh.
  • However, as a result of this aforementioned complexity, refund tokens will be entirely removed in V13.11. This will bring the refund policy in line with other Riot games, removing the need to maintain an older system just for League. As a result, the base refund policy will shift in patch 13.11 as well. Unused, eligible content will be refundable for up to 14 days from purchase.
    • Tokens will disappear in V13.11 if not used by that date and the refund policy will adjust at the same time.
