Can you play ranked queues during the new Season transition?

Just like in previous years, we can expect a similar process while transitioning into the new League of Legends Season. The ranked queue will be disabled at that time. However, it will be temporary, lasting a few hours until the release of LoL Patch 14.1. Shortly after that, Split 2 will commence.

Furthermore, you cannot process any Shard transfers before the Season ends, and they will be re-enabled after all end-of-season rewards are granted.

League of Legends Season in 2024 is going to feature three Ranked Splits

For 2024, Riot has made a rather bold change to how Ranked Seasons will work. Rather than the usual two Ranked Splits per year, there will be three. Alongside this, significant alterations are expected to shake up gameplay throughout the rest of the year.

The idea behind three Ranked Splits is essentially for adjustment: to prevent players from abandoning their journey up the ranked ladder by resorting to alternate accounts, known as smurfs, that enable them to compete at lower levels. The developers have decided to add this split to encourage players to stay engaged in the challenge.

Additional changes coming to League of Legends Season 14

Season 14 will be huge for LoL's Summoner's Rift, with changes galore coming to both the jungle and neutral objectives. In addition, there's a big update planned for older items, with some core mythic items being entirely removed while brand-new additions are set to arrive.

Thus, Season 14 will be intriguing to witness how everything plays out.
