One of Riot Games' latest League of Legends reveals shows off updated versions of all the ranked emblems.

As part of the ranked changes coming to League of Legends in 2019, Riot Games is updating the ranked emblems that signify what tier players are in during their ranked climb. With two new tiers called "Iron" and "Grandmaster being added in 2019, those new emblems will be integrated with updated versions of the existing ranked emblems that players are already familiar with.

Following a series of periodical reveals of the new ranked emblems, Riot Games senior designer Ed "Riot SapMagic" Altorfer shared a tweet that included a side-by-side comparison of all the ranked emblems so far. The final emblem to be revealed was the Challenger emblem shown on the left image in the tweet with all the emblems shown to the right as well as beneath the Rioter's message.

Iron's emblem is seen in the top-left corner with that rank being the new lowest tier beneath Bronze to better differentiate the skill levels between Bronze, Silver, and now Iron players. On the opposite end of the ladder is the Grandmaster emblem that's seen second from the right on the bottom row, a tier that adds another rung to better accommodate the gap between the top two tiers that exists in the current ranked structure.

The emblems prior to the Challenger reveal were shared to allow for League of Legends players to offer their constructive feedback on the designs with some changes already being made. Riot SapMagic says that Riot Games still has plans to improve the emblems with the feedback already leading to better lighting and detail, but there are currently no plans for a major shift in design.

Riot Games' ranked changes for League of Legends are planned to go into effect during the 2019 season.
