Your Climb, Game by Game

Per-game LP, live games, whole-lobby lookup and a new Knowledge Trainer hub.

Sep 6, 20264 min read

Alright guys, this update is about two things: what each game actually cost you, and knowing what you are walking into before it starts. Here is what changed and where to find it.

Every game shows its LP

Open your improvement tracker and every ranked game carries its LP result now, win or loss. A promotion or demotion shows the rank you landed on.

  • The Ranked Solo box has a rank graph, so you can see the whole season's climb, not just where you stand today.
  • Under it, your games and win rate by role. If your win rate lives in a role you barely play, that is worth a look.
  • Public profiles show LP per game too.

More in the tracker

  • Group your games by Day or by Session and see what each run of games cost you. One bad session shows up fast.
  • Linked more than one account? Flip All accounts and your games, champion stats and win rate merge into one view.
  • Expand a game and the scoreboard shows the average rank of the lobby and of each team. Ally profiles and Enemy profiles open either team side by side on summoner lookup.
  • Your smite icon shows the pet you took, and an off-role game says Jungle only instead of leaving the score blank. We score jungle games. Other roles are coming.

Look up a whole lobby at once

Summoner lookup takes more than one name now. Paste the lobby chat and you get a card per player: rank, past seasons, recent form and champions this season.

  • Start typing a name and suggestions appear. Your recent searches sit right under the box.
  • Pros and streamers carry a PRO or STREAMER chip on the scoreboard, the Tab Screen and their profile.

Live game

Hit Live game on any profile or on your tracker and you see the game that account is in right now: both teams, champions, ranks, bans and estimated roles.

  • Hit Load lobby and we pull in every player's past seasons.
  • Check it before you queue as a duo, or while you wait for a friend to finish. Who is strong, who is weak, how do we play the fight?

JGKD Leaderboard

Premium members get a ladder of their own at /leaderboard: where you started, where you are now, LP gained and your top champions this season.

  • Sort by current rank or by Most improved. Your own row is pinned, so you never scroll for it.
  • Find it under Explore in the Features menu.

Knowledge Trainer

League Knowledge opens on Today's paper: what is left today, what is done, and one streak across every daily.

  • Play any daily and the day counts. Play all of them and it is a clean sweep.
  • Freezes cover a day you miss, milestones mark the way, and members can repair a broken streak.
  • History shows every day you played, with a Misses only filter so you can drill what you got wrong.

New in League Knowledge

  • Connections. Find the four hidden groups in a grid of champions, items and abilities. One board a day, or endless until you run out of mistakes.
  • Gold Calculator. Pick the item you are building, click the pieces you own, and read the gold remaining. Type in what you are holding and it tells you whether this back finishes it.
  • Glossary. Champions, items, runes and summoner spells as an icon gallery. Click a champion for its stats and ability numbers, or an item for its gold efficiency and build tree.
  • Stat Check says what stronger means now, and shows you the numbers behind every round.

That is the batch. We're excited and working hard on the upcoming recommendations system and climb timeline, and will be starting to push more Goal Setting and Review sessions to help you guys improve. The one thing I want you to do this week: open your improvement tracker, switch to Session grouping, and look at where your LP went in your last session. If the losses pile up at the end, that is the stop-loss rule talking. I'll see you in the next one.
