The new League of Legends game mode of Teamfight Tactics has quickly become one of the most popular video games in the world. Combining the League of Legends universe with the auto chess genre that has seen a surge of popularity in recent months, Teamfight Tactics delivers a truly entertaining gameplay experience for those who dive into the game mode. While some players are likely to enjoy Teamfght Tactics in League of Legends on a more casual level, there are others who are looking for a bigger challenge with the game mode's upcoming ranked mode where they will be able to test their skills against players of similar skill levels. If you are curious about what this ranked mode will entail, be sure to check out all of the currently known information below.
Teamfight Tactics Ranked Mode
Community members got their first taste of what the ranked mode in Teamfight Tactics will consist of during a Reddit ask me anything (AMA) session with Senior Designer Ed “SapMagic” Altorfer.
One of the major details that the SapMagic AMA revealed to players was that they will be able to queue up with friends in the Teamfight Tactics ranked mode. However, the highest rank that you will be able to play in will be limited by how many friends you queue with. Players will be able to move their way up through the Teamfight Tactics ranked mode by climbing up various tiers and divisions in the same manner as the base League of Legends game.
League points will be distributed based on a player's skill and their opponent's skill. This means that a lower skill player will receive many more league points for defeating a more skilled enemy than a higher skilled player defeating a lower skilled opponent. However, Teamfight Tactics players will not be guaranteed an exact number of league points for their placement in a ranked match.
While there are still likely many aspects of the Teamfight Tactics ranked mode for League of Legends yet to be revealed to the community, players at least now have a taste of what they can expect when the highly anticipated playlist arrives.
