news tip League of Legends: challenges are coming very soon! We explain everything about this highly anticipated new feature

The notion of competition has always been very important in League of Legends. If we will not teach you that the game is already very established in the world e-sports scene, it still lacked a version a little more fun and accessible to show off with friends. The very imminent arrival of challenges in the MOBA of Riot Games will therefore allow all its players to proudly display the fruit of their long hours spent on the game, regardless of the game mode they prefer to play. Thus, whether you prefer to play in ranked games, in ARAM, in Clash or even simply to collect as many skins as possible, everyone can find noon on their doorstep in the new challenges, which the developers announce are very numerous (more than 300!)

A beautiful hunting board

In order to accompany the release of these new challenges, the League of Legends client has had a facelift and presents us with a brand new page available in each player’s profile.. We present this new feature in detail.

The challenges tab

By clicking on the new “challenges” tab available on your profile, you will discover a whole page dedicated to this new feature. At the top left, you’ll find the gauge and crystal for your overall challenge progress. Ranked from Iron to Challenger (similar to Summoner’s Rift rankings), your overall progress will increase as you complete your challenges. From the Master rank, you can even access the ranking of your server, in order to see who succeeds best in accumulating the challenges.

Below the overall progress bar, you will be able to notice five different categories, all of which come with a progress bar, as well as a last separate category. Each challenge corresponds to one of these categories, the progress of which is also ranked from Iron to Challenger. Riot games took advantage of the presentation of this page to reveal some examples of challenges and to which categories they correspond:

Imagination

It will be necessary to play in an original way to hope to achieve the challenges of this category. If you’re looking to show that you play more for fun than for victory, it seems that this category is for you!

• wrong medicine : Kill enemies recently healed by area heal in ARAM
• Minion Annihilation: Kill 20 minions in 3 seconds

Expertise:

Some would say that the important thing is not to win. It is to humiliate. For anyone who finds themselves reading this maxim, this category is for you.

• Immortal Demon King : Win games without dying
• Make the difference : Win games with at least 100 minions behind your opponent

Teamwork and strategy

You guessed it, it will be a question here of working as a team to win these challenges. Solo players will just have to go their way.

• Dragon Domination : Collect dragon souls 4 to 0
• team diff : Score aces between the appearance of the minions and the 15 minutes of play

Veterans

More akin to stats than real challenges, this category will be filled by playing the game and accumulating the good parts.

• QUINTUPLET! : Score quintuplets
• Mythical Multiplicity : Win with different mythical items

Collection

Dear cosmetic collectors, this category should speak to you.

• Rift Icon : Get summoner icons
• Catch them all : Get champions

Legacy (special)

This somewhat special category will offer challenges to limited timemostly related to seasonal events. They can only be made when they are released, and therefore cannot be redeemed later. Don’t panic for your overall score, you won’t miss any points by missing these challenges. This category will not have any levels either.

Challenge Cards

Apart from these progress gauges and the search bar to find challenges (by name or success criteria), most of the challenges page will of course be made up of the challenges themselves. Each of them will be represented by a card displaying several elements :

• In the center : an icon whose color will change at each level (from Iron to Challenger, again)
• Below icon : the name and the condition of achievement of the challenge
• On the top corner left : the number of points brought by the achievement of the challenge to the overall score
• Top right : the game modes where the challenge is achievable
• Bottom of the map : the next major reward of the challenge (on the example: a title)

I’m the strongest

While die-hard collectors will already be delighted to have several hundred challenges to complete to raise their overall score, the real usefulness of this new functionality lies of course in the possibility of showing everyone the number of challenges that we have managed to accomplish. To do this, several elements of the game have been modified.

The living room

Before starting a game, players usually meet in a “lounge”, where each of them is represented by a summoner icon, a nickname and a rank.. If all this remains unchanged, it will now be necessary to add the challenges.
By hovering over your summoner icon, you will now be able to see your overall challenge level, also represented by the gemstone just below your icon. You will also be able to see your rank on each of the challenge categories in the same way. Below the summoner name, you can proudly display your title hard won by completing the challenge of your choice.

Finally, under these famous titles, you will be able to display 3 challenge tokens of your choice. By hovering your mouse over it, you will see the challenge and the associated level. And trying to observe your allies’ tokens, you can even compare your progress with theirs!

Note also that your identity menu has been changed to be able to select which titles and challenge tokens you want to display for all to see.

Loading screen

Once the game has started, during loading, you will also have access to three-sided cards, compared to two before. By clicking on each card (up to three times), you will have access to the following information:

• Game Information : champion, skin, ranking border, summoner name, title and icon, summoner spells, runes and honor
• Champion Information : mastery and eternal
• Player Information : rank, challenge crystal and challenge tokens

Finally, note that to avoid wearing out the mouse before you even start the game, Riot Games has also added a button to change the map face on all players at once during loading.
