What is Ranked Mode?
Ranked Mode is the competitive mode in Wildrift where players can compete against each other to climb the ranks and earn rewards. It’s a mode designed for players who want to take their skills to the next level and compete against other skilled players. In Ranked Mode, players are matched with others who have similar skill levels, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.
Ranked Mode is available to all players who have completed at least 10 Normal matches. Once you’ve unlocked Ranked Mode, you can begin playing and climbing the ranks.
Why Play Ranked Mode?
Ranked Mode offers a more competitive and challenging experience than Normal matches. It’s a great way to test your skills against other skilled players and see how you stack up against the competition. Additionally, playing Ranked Mode allows you to earn rewards such as exclusive skins and icons that can’t be obtained through Normal matches.
Is Ranked Mode Free?
Yes, Ranked Mode is completely free to play. However, you must have completed at least 10 Normal matches to unlock it.
How to Play Ranked Mode
Playing Ranked Mode is similar to playing Normal matches, but with a few key differences. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play Ranked Mode:
- Unlock Ranked Mode by completing at least 10 Normal matches.
- Select Ranked Mode from the game mode selection screen.
- Choose your champion and lock in.
- Once all players have locked in, the game will begin.
- Play to the best of your ability and work with your team to secure the victory.
- After the game, you’ll earn or lose LP (League Points) depending on the result.
- Climb the ranks by earning enough LP to reach the next division/tier.
What are LP (League Points)?
LP (League Points) are the points you earn or lose after each Ranked match. They determine your rank and division within the Ranked system. The more LP you have, the higher your rank will be.
How Do I Win a Ranked Match?
To win a Ranked match, you must work with your team to destroy the enemy Nexus. The first team to destroy the enemy Nexus wins the game. It’s important to communicate with your team, coordinate your actions, and play to the best of your ability to secure the victory.
Ranked Queues
There are currently two Ranked queues in Wildrift: Solo/Duo Queue and Flex Queue.
Solo/Duo Queue
Solo/Duo Queue is a queue where you can play alone or with one other player. This queue is designed for players who want to climb the ranks on their own or with a friend. You’ll be matched with players who have similar skill levels to ensure a fair and competitive environment.
Flex Queue
Flex Queue is a queue where you can play with up to four other players. This queue is designed for players who want to play with friends and climb the ranks together. However, keep in mind that the more players you have, the higher the skill level of your opponents will be.
Ranked Tiers and Divisions
The Ranked system in Wildrift consists of 8 tiers and 4 divisions within each tier. Here are the tiers and divisions:
| Tier | Division |
|---|---|
| Iron | IV, III, II, I |
| Bronze | IV, III, II, I |
| Silver | IV, III, II, I |
| Gold | IV, III, II, I |
| Platinum | IV, III, II, I |
| Diamond | IV, III, II, I |
| Master | |
| Grandmaster |
Each tier and division has its own LP (League Point) requirement to advance to the next division/tier. For example, to advance from Iron IV to Iron III, you must earn 100 LP. Additionally, each tier and division has its own rewards, such as icons and skins.
How Do I Climb the Ranks?
To climb the ranks, you must earn enough LP to advance to the next division/tier. Here are a few tips to help you climb the ranks:
- Play with a positive attitude and communicate with your team.
- Focus on improving your own gameplay and learning from your mistakes.
- Play champions that you’re comfortable with and have experience playing.
- Avoid tilting or getting frustrated after a loss. Take a break and come back when you’re feeling refreshed.

Ranked Strategies
Here are a few strategies to help you succeed in Ranked Mode:
Communicate with Your Team
Communication is key in Ranked Mode. Make sure to communicate with your team throughout the game, whether it’s through pings or chat. Coordinate your actions and work together to secure the victory.
Master a Few Champions
Instead of trying to master every champion, focus on a few champions that you’re comfortable with and have experience playing. This will allow you to master those champions and become more effective with them in Ranked matches.
Focus on Objectives
Instead of focusing solely on kills, focus on objectives such as turrets and the Dragon. Securing objectives will give your team a significant advantage and increase your chances of winning the game.
