League of Legends Level Up Rewards | 2020
Leveling up in League of Legends is essential to play in ranked modes, and also to be on a higher level of competition. Players may earn experience by playing games, completing missions. When a level bar reaches to its maximum points with experiences, player’s in game level increases –a classic level up system.
In the past, it was not possible to exceed level 30 in League of Legends. Riot Games changed this system during the preseason between season 7 and season 8. Now, players may level up to infinity. Still, one player must reach 30 to be able to play ranked and competitive games.
With this new system, Riot Games gave an incentive to old and experienced players for keep playing the game. The new reward system is also introduced where in every level range, players have the opportunity to gain these rewards when they reach to a specific level.
Before we take a look at what the rewards are, you may want to know how does the leveling up system works.
To give you a perspective about how the system works:
-
An average game will give you approximately 200xp.
-
Win of the Day will give you around 575xp.
-
The lowest amount of XP to level up (from 30-31) is 2500xp.
-
The amount of XP to level up from 174-175 is 4600xp.
-
We’ve listed all possible rewards for leveling until level 500+ below.
If you would like to know about how this gaining experience works more specifically, here are the formulas of XP gains:
Main Formula:
-
Experience Gained = (GameTime x (XP/s) + Base XP) -round to nearest integer
Of course, if you win a game you get more experience:
-
Experience Gained in a Win = (GameTime x 0.11 + 6.6)
And if you lose a game, you gain less experience than usual:
-
Experience Gained in a Lose = (GameTime x0.09 + 5.4)
What is Level Up Capsule?
Many players and new comers may wonder about "What is level up Capsule?" or "What does champion capsule contain?". Well, we can basically say that in League of Legends, the most common reward for leveling up is "Champion Capsule". This may also called level up capsule among players. Level up capsule, champion capsule and glorious champion capsule is a reward for players when they reach a new level. After a new player reaches to a new level, he gets a capsule and opens it to get various of items. (e.g 3 skin shards.)
However, this is not always counted as a level up milestone reward, meaning that players are not rewarded champion capsule in every level. For example, in first 30 levels, players do not get a champion capsule whenever they reach a new level. But after hitting to level 30, they get champion capsule whenever they reach a new level. Also, you should know that champion and glorious champion capsules are different. Acquiring the glorious champion capsule is harder, you can get it in every 10 levels -there are some exceptions- whereas you get the basic capsule in every level.
So, what does these capsules contain? The answer of this question differ since every capsule has a unique reward. For example, since the glorious champion capsule is more rare and harder to get, it contains better rewards than a basic capsule. Also, higher level capsules may give players better rewards.
Gemstones in LoL, What do They Contain?
One of the most asked questions about League of Legends are about the gemstones. Although gemstones and the usage of them looks complicated, once a player know how it works and gets acquired, understand the usage of gemstone gets much more easier. We can define gemstones as in-game crafting material. They are rare and usually earned through Hextech Crafting --a reward system in LoL. Other than this, you may purchase gemstones by large amounts of Riot points or blue essence .
Players may drop a gemstone in a hextech chest or a masterwork chest, with a chance of 3.6% (increased to 4% with bad luck protection). Players also receive gemstones in every 50 levels, after they are level 150, which you will see in the leveling up table below. So what makes a gemstone so special? Well, with gemstones you may purchase exclusive loot content which can only be purchased by gemstones, or can be obtained in chests, tokens with very low probabilities. These contents are usually cosmetic but they are rare. For example, you may get skins like Hextexh Alistar, Dreadnova Darius, Hextexh Malzahar with 10 gemstones.
Blue Essence in League of Legends
You will see in the milestone chart below that many of the League of Legends leveling up rewards consists of blue essence or BE for short. New players in League of Legends may wonder about “What is Blue Essence?” and “Blue Essence usage”. Well, other than the riot points blue essence is an in game currency that is mainly being used for unlocking content. These game content includes champions, Hextech Crafting, additional rune pages, chromas, other exclusive contents, etc. Blue essence can also be used for changing summoner’s name.
Acquiring the blue essence is not very difficult for players. In almost ever level, summoners are rewarded with blue essence. Other than leveling up reward, blue essence may be acquired in first win of the game mission, which grants 50
. Also, some missions may give blue essence as a reward. All these rewards are designed to encourage players to play the game more.
Level 1-30
Level 1 through 30 is the baseline that is relatively fast to achieve. This is because the while gaining experiences (XPs), the level bar fills at a faster rate. You may also think this like the level bar capacity is less than usual. Another reason is that in these levels, you get to matchmake with new players. Many of these players play the game at a very beginner level so, you will probably win a lot which means your win rate will be high.
By leveling up you get significant amount of blue essence (12950) and unlock all the features of the game, like summoner spells, game modes, and of course access to ranked ladder at level 30 once you own 20 champions.
