TFT Rank System
In TFT rank system we categorized it into 4 points such as season, placement & promotion, demotion & decay, and rewards.
TFT Season
Ranked seasons in TFT are significantly shorter than League of Legends alongside with new set of champions and traits every season. Riot's goal is to start a new season every few months which means they can launch three or four seasons per year.
Placements & Promotions
Whenever TFT ranked season starts, TFT introduces a new set that you need to start over again and learn the new set. you will play 5 placement matches at the start of each season to calculate your starting rank.
In the placement matches, you can earn up to 100 LP with no LP deduction when you lost. After the placement matches, you will start losing your LP when you are losing the match. To climb ranks in TFT, you need to reach 100 LP to promote to the next TFT rank division and your leftover LP will retain.
Demotions & Decay
You will get demoted when you lose a match while you have zero LP. After demoted, you will have 75 LP in the next division. However, You can't demote to a lower TFT rank tier once you reached Gold and Master. In Master division and above, you will get 10 tier protection. Once you lost all tier protection your LP will be deducted 250 LP every day.
TFT Season Rewards
You will get rewards at the end of every season when you reach Gold or above. Rewards include exclusive emotes, and Little Legends for your hard work throughout the season.
