FAQ 

General

• When does the season end? 

• The 2016 season wraps up at the end of day (in your territory) on November 7—technically this means 12:01 AM on November 8. 

• When do rewards hit my account? 

• Rewards will arrive within two weeks of the end of season. 

• I don’t own Maokai, can I still use the skin? ;-; 

• If you’re Gold+ and don’t own Maokai the champion will be unlocked alongside your new skin. 

• Are ranked borders queue specific? 

• Yep! 

• Can I use my borders from previous seasons? 

• Nope. Borders reflect your most recent seasonal ranking. 

• Will I still decay in the pre-season? 

• You won’t! We’ll disable decay alongside the season’s end. We’ll turn it back on once the 2017 season begins! 

• So that’s it, no more ranked this year? 

• Having some downtime between seasons has historically given us a chance to make bigger changes than when ranked competition is in flight. We’ve improved our approaches to iterating on balance, so we’re looking to potentially have a shorter preseason this year than in the past. What do you think? Let us know in the comments if you think ranked should return sooner! 

• Are there any eligibility requirements for these rewards outside of ranked results? 

• Yes, some players are ineligible for rewards because of negative in-game behavior. This applies only to the 2016 season. Here are the details: 

• Players with bans or chat restrictions active when the season ends are ineligible for this year’s rewards.
• Players issued a ban of seven days or more in the three months prior to the end of the season (from August 7 on) are ineligible for this year’s rewards.
• Players banned for boosting during the 2016 season remain ineligible for rewards.
• Players who experienced fraud-related and erroneous bans will still be eligible. 

• All players will have another chance at future ranked season rewards. 

• Can you tell me more about the Challenger rewards? 

• Information on the Challenger rewards (including a visual reveal and eligibility requirements) will be coming soon in a separate announcement. Sit tight!

Ranked Team Rewards

• Do wins from different teams count towards my point total? 

• Yep! As long as you participated in the win, you’ll earn the point(s). 

• I transferred servers, do I keep the points I earned on my old server?  

• No, that data is lost in the transfer. Sorry :( 

• Do my ranked team’s placement wins count toward my point total? 

• They sure do! 

• What do you mean 10 wins with the same team? 

• Being a popular free agent is fine, but you’ll only earn rewards for the highest ranked team you’ve won at least 10 games alongside.
