League of Legends is Riot Games' free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena for PC, released on October 27, 2009. Two teams of five champions fight to destroy the other side's Nexus on Summoner's Rift, and a ranked ladder of tiers and divisions, from Iron to Challenger, has carried the competitive game and its professional scene ever since.
CRIT6 wrote a guide to climbing ranked that holds in any season: how the ladder works, why a narrow champion pool wins, and how to keep a losing night from becoming a losing month.
