League of Legends Ranks – The Ultimate MMR Table

League of Legends Ranks: Unveiling the Hidden MMR

While your League of Legends rank — displayed as Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger — is what’s visible to you and other players, it’s not the full story of your competitive standing. These tiers and divisions (40 in total across the first seven tiers) are merely a reflection of a much more crucial, underlying system: your Matchmaking Rating (MMR).

Your visible rank is a facade built upon your true MMR.
MMR is a hidden numerical value that precisely measures your skill level against the entire player base. Riot Games uses this internal rating, not your LP or visible rank, to determine the fairness of your matches. It ensures you’re matched with and against players of a similar skill level, providing a balanced and competitive experience.

Think of your MMR as your true skill identity, while your LP (League Points) and rank are just your public profile picture. In ranked games, your MMR is the primary driver behind the scenes. When you win, your MMR goes up, and when you lose, it goes down. The amount of LP you gain or lose after a game is a direct reflection of how closely your visible rank aligns with your hidden MMR. If your MMR is significantly higher than your current rank, the system will give you more LP for wins and less for losses, effectively trying to “pull” your rank up to where your MMR suggests it should be. Conversely, if your MMR is lower than your rank, you’ll gain less LP and lose more, pushing you back down.

LP vs. MMR – What’s the Difference?

⚖️ LP and MMR are not the same:
LP (League Points) is your visible rank currency – you gain or lose it after each match. MMR (Matchmaking Rating), however, is hidden and determines who you get matched with and how much LP you gain or lose.

You can win a game and gain +28 LP while your duo only gets +17 – that’s MMR in action. If your MMR is significantly higher than your current rank, you’ll gain more LP and even skip divisions. If it’s lower, you’ll get fewer LP or lose more.

How to Climb Faster in Ranked

Step 1

Go on a win streak
Consistently winning games quickly raises your MMR and can trigger division skips.

Step 2

Track your LP gains
Gaining more than +20 LP means your MMR is above average – keep it up!

Step 3

Play consistently
Avoid long breaks and dodge streaks – consistency keeps your MMR stable.

What Affects Your MMR?

Your MMR is not only about wins and losses – several other factors influence how it changes over time.

• Win/Loss Ratio: The most obvious factor. More wins than losses = rising MMR.
• Match difficulty: Beating stronger opponents increases your MMR faster.
• Premade size: Queuing with friends can impact your MMR differently, especially in duo or flex.
• Consistency: Taking long breaks or tilt-playing many games in a row can destabilize your MMR curve.
• Game impact: Some systems (like flex or normal MMR) track individual performance for adjustment.

Riot doesn’t officially confirm all calculation methods – but most competitive MMR systems follow similar patterns. Staying consistent and winning vs. stronger opponents is the fastest way to boost your hidden rating.

League Ranks in Different Queues: SoloQ, Flex, and ARAM Explained

Understanding the various ranking systems in League of Legends is crucial for any aspiring climber. While your ranked journey often focuses on Solo/Duo Queue, Riot Games maintains separate MMRs and ranking structures for different game modes. This ensures fair matchmaking and diverse competitive experiences.

Understanding Solo/Duo Queue, Flex Queue, and ARAM Matchmaking

Each queue mode has its own unique MMR (Matchmaking Rating) that dictates your opponents and teammates. This means your high Challenger MMR in Solo Queue won’t influence your ARAM games, nor will your Flex Queue rank directly impact your Solo Queue standing. This separation allows players to enjoy different aspects of the game without affecting their primary competitive ladder.

Queue Mode	Type & Goal	Team Size	Specifics & MMR Influence
Solo/Duo Queue	The most competitive ranked queue for solo players or duos. Measures individual skill and coordination.	1 or 2 Players (up to a team of 5)	Considered the primary ranked ladder. MMR is highly sensitive to win/loss and match difficulty. Stricter MMR balancing.
Flex Queue	Team-oriented ranked queue for groups of 1, 2, 3, or 5 players. Focuses on teamplay and strategy.	1, 2, 3, or 5 Players (no 4-player groups possible)	Separate MMR. Less strict in MMR balancing to allow for larger groups. Ideal for team practice.
ARAM (All Random All Mid)	Fun-oriented mode on a single lane with randomly assigned champions.	5 Players	Has its own informal MMR. Does not influence ranked queues. Serves for fair balance in random matches.

Understanding these distinctions helps you focus your efforts. If your goal is to climb the primary ladder, Solo/Duo Queue is your battlefield. Flex Queue is perfect for coordinated team play, and ARAM offers a fun, low-pressure environment to try out new champions and strategies without affecting your ranked standing.
