OVERVIEW
Ranked Solo/Duo is the competitive standard for League of Legends. Players queue alone or with one partner, draft champions through a ban-pick phase, and play on Summoner's Rift. LP gains and losses determine your visible rank, from Iron through Challenger. This is the queue that matters for leaderboards, end-of-season rewards, and competitive standing.
