Today Riot revealed the full set of ranked rewards League of Legends players will receive at the end of the 2015 season.

Hopefully this will lead to improved (read: more fair) matchmaking, though I’m certainly not bitter about that.

Riot’s Jeffrey Lin has amended his statements about how ranked League of Legends players will be punished for having chat restrictions or temporary bans this season. On Twitter and in a new ask.fm post, he said that only a specific subset of ranked players won’t be eligible for 2015 rewards. Read the full update here.
