League of Legends confirm level requirement for ranked play after update
Rioter Meddler confirmed via Reddit that there will still be a Level 30 requirement to do competitive ranked matches in League of Legends.
Recently, I was spending time on the official Reddit of League of Legends the other day. Besides contributing to the community, from time to time I’ll link some of my own work to get the discussion going among fellow Summoners.
One of the biggest questions asked about the upcoming Runes Reforged update, revolves around the complete removal of the level cap. That’s right, the level cap in League of Legends will be completely removed and will be infinite.
Whether you agree with the move or not, many were curious if there will still be a level requirement in order to do ranked, competitive matches. Surprisingly enough, Rioter Meddler confirmed that level 30 will still be required for ranked matchmaking and still be driven by MMR (Matchmaking Rating). Take a look at the thread below I posted:

Needless to say, once the Runes Reforged update goes live, it’s great to see that Summoners will still need to be level 30 to do ranked matches. In the grand scheme of things, it makes sense since the last thing anyone wants is to have inexperienced players playing matches that they won’t be anywhere near ready for.

It also helps ensure that the competitive nature of ranked matches continues to be solid. It’s all about playing against those that are near your level to ensure a fair and balanced matchup.
Yeah, sometimes you’ll get easy matches where you can steamroll the competition but other times, the better team will be the enemy side.

Either way, it’s smart for developers to at least keep that level requirement for those that are just getting used to League of Legends. It takes a plethora of practice, matches against the AI, and of course, mastering numerous champions and roles before even thinking about playing ranked matches. At least now veterans of the game can rest easy knowing one has to at least be level 30 in order to be eligible for such competition.
