League of Legends Season 12 Start Date and Time (Updated)

With the League of Legends Season 11 end date likely in November, people are already going to starting wondering, when does Season 12 of League of Legends begin? After all, they will have a new champion, a new thematic after the defeat of Viego and much more. This upcoming season will end up being one of the least changed ones since the beginning of League of Legends but should still add some fun variety after two straight years of major changes. Here is a look at the League of Legends Season 12 start date and time.

The preseason overview shown above shows that while not major changes, there will be a few things coming for next season. Changes to dragons and more items being added seem to be on the table or already on their way. Also, they will be adding more to player profiles in order for the player to show off their accomplishments. They also mentioned when to expect more information on this upcoming preseason.

Considering that Season 11 will be likely ending on time, it is safe to assume that Season 12 will begin on time. This normally gives the dev team a full month and a half for the preseason to make any changes they need to.

With that in mind, it would seem as though they will be following the same schedule as last year where the League of Legends Season 12 start date should be in the first week or two of January and will likely start at midnight on that first day.

With the Patch Schedule for 2022 revealed, it is looking like January 5, 2022 will be the League of Legends Season 12 start date. Time-wise it will likely either start at midnight, player’s time, or sometime in the afternoon. Once the official time is announced this will be updated.

The Livestream for League of Legends and possibly Riot Games will be January 7, 2022 to introduce what will be coming in Season 12 and more. League of Legends Ranked Season 12 will begin once this live stream goes live at 10am est/7am pst.

Season 11 End

The fact that this has come out already along with updates for later in September and October, one can assume Riot Games and League of Legends will continue to stay on time. This means that fans should be able to go back and look at the previous years of end dates to figure things out.

League of Legends seasons generally have ended around the second week of November. There is no reason to think that Season 11 won’t be the same. As for the time, it will likely be at 11:59 pm.

It has been confirmed that League of Legends Season 11 will end on November 15, 2021 at 11:59 PM on your local server time.

The reason being is that the professional scene, as well as the end of the year, are all around this time. Worlds 2021 will have seen a new champion crowned and the third part of the ranked season will have ended as well.

Season 11 Ranked Rewards

As with most seasons of League of Legends, there has been a Victorious skin for players to try and get. They only receive this skin if they have finished at least Gold or higher. Last year it was Lucian that got his skin, this year it seems to be someone a little different. Now a fan favorite champion in Blitzcrank will be next. Here is a look at Victorious Blitzcrank.

There have been some incredible Victorious skins in the past. Jarvan was the first one and he was released in 2011. This continued as many more fan-favorite champions received their skins for hitting gold as well. Here is a list of each one and the year they came out.

2011- Jarvan

2012- Janna

2013- Elise

2014- Morgana

2015- Sivir

2016- Maokai

2017- Graves

2018- Orianna

2019- Aatrox

2020- Lucian

It looked as though it was going to be an Annie skin considering what was teased on Twitter just the day before this announcement. A teddy bear was shown but it looks like it was all a dupe by the Riot Games team.

Blitzcrank has not received a skin in quite a while and this would be a major addition for him. Now it would seem that he is next in line to join an exclusive, but less exclusive than the anniversary skin, club with the Victorious skins.

Do not forget that there are chromas with these skins as well. However high a player gets above Gold in ranked will give them the different variations of the Blitzcrank Victorious skin. This means that not only will the skin be more valuable the higher the rank but it will also become even more exclusive.

Worlds 2021 is right around the corner and with it the end of the 2021 season which should be happening at the end of October. Make sure to get the grind going for Gold as soon as possible or miss out on what should be another great skin.

Season 11 Review

This season brought with it a lot of change. For starters, the Mythical Item changes to League of Legends along with items being revamped overall certainly caused some to be excited and others to get upset. It is still yet to be seen if these changes will end up being for the better. The reason being that it will take time to tune these items in a way that players will not only like but in a way that will feel good for the pro scene as well.

Speaking of those items, it brought some champions to life in a big way. Udyr and Tryndamere have been seeing more top-level play than ever before. So much so that both have been played at the pro level and at international events for possibly the first time since their release. This was certainly a season with plenty of variety.

Lastly, this season saw Viego take over with the Reckoning. He and his minions such as Vex challenged the heroes Lucian and Senna to taking over Runeterra. This meant that new friends like Gwen and Akshan had to be added in order to save the day. While not the best-received event, it showed that Riot Games and the League of Legends crew were looking to expand on the story of the game as they prepare their MMO for the future.
