New Victorious Skin: How To Get Master Yis Reward

New Victorious Skin: How To Get Master Yi's Reward

Year after year, League of Legends players battle it out on Summoner's Rift for the chance to earn the esteemed Victorious skin. The reward for Season 14 Split 3 is Victorious Master Yi, a stunning skin that shows off your ranked achievements! But getting your hands on this new Victorious skin requires knowing the rules (and a little dedication).
At a glance:

• Victorious Master Yi is the reward for ranked participation in Season 14 Split 3.
• The number of Split Points (SP) needed depends on your rank: 80 for Gold+ and 1000 for below Gold.
• You MUST be Honor Level 2 or higher to be eligible.
• Each rank (Iron to Challenger) gets its own unique chroma for Victorious Master Yi.
• Consistent play and good behavior are key to claiming your reward.

What Exactly Are Split Points and Why Do They Matter?

Riot revamped the ranked system to include splits, shorter periods within the overall season. At the end of each split, rewards are given, with the Victorious skin being the most sought after. To earn it, you need to accumulate Split Points (SP), a measure of your participation and progress in ranked games. Think of them as experience points just earned through the ranked ladder. Every ranked game you play, win or lose, adds to your SP total. The Victorious Master Yi skin is the end goal.
Here's the important part: The amount of SP required to unlock the new victorious skin hinges on your rank.

• Gold and Above (Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, Challenger): 80 Split Points.
• Below Gold (Iron, Bronze, Silver): 1000 Split Points.
  The good news? The moment you hit Gold, your split point requirement automatically drops to 80! Even better, any points you've already earned count toward that lower target. If you then fall below Gold your split point will go back up to 1000 again.

Your Customized Path to Victorious Master Yi: Assessing Your Situation

Let's figure out the right path for you to claim Victorious Master Yi.
Step 1: Check Your Current Rank and Split Points.

1. Open your League of Legends client.
2. Head to your Profile.
3. Click on "Ranked."
4. Look for the Split Progress bar at the bottom. This shows your current rank and SP.
   Step 2: Evaluate Your Honor Level.
   Make sure you're at Honor Level 2 or above. You can check this in your profile as well. Remember, no matter how many Split Points you have, you won't receive the skin if your Honor Level is too low. Your split point progress keeps accumulating even while you work on your honor level. Just make sure you hit Honor 2 before the season ends to claim your reward!
   Step 3: Determine Your Remaining Needs.
   Based on your rank and SP, calculate how many more points you need. This will help you estimate how many games you need to play before the Season ends January 8th.

Ranking Up vs. Grinding Points: A Fork in the Road

The best strategy depends on where you sit in the current ranked ladder.
Scenario 1: You're Below Gold and Far From 1000 SP.

• Focus: Consistent Play is key
• Strategy: Aim for 4-5 games per day. Even small wins will add up.
• Queue Choice: Solo/Duo (for faster queue times) or Flex (if you prefer playing with friends).
  Scenario 2: You're Below Gold But Close To Gold.
• Focus: Push for Gold!
• Strategy: Play your best champions and roles. Watch replay to learn and improve.
• Queue Choice: Solo/Duo (for focusing on your individual play).
  Scenario 3: You're Already Gold or Higher.
• Focus: Maintain Your Rank and Reach 80 SP.
• Strategy: Play 3-4 games per week to stay on track.
• Queue Choice: Whatever you enjoy most!

Honor Above All: Prioritizing Positive Play

You absolutely, 100% need to be Honor Level 2 or higher to receive the new Victorious skin. No exceptions. This means maintaining a positive attitude in-game.
How to Maintain (or Improve) Your Honor Level:

1. Be a Team Player: Communicate effectively, offer help, and avoid blaming others.
2. Stay Positive: Even in tough games, focus on what you can control.
3. Avoid Toxicity: No flaming, insulting, or harassing teammates (or opponents).
4. Earn Honors: Encourage your teammates to honor you after the game.
   Remember, honor is like credit—it takes time to build and can be easily lost. Avoid penalties or restrictions to stay eligible.

The Time Commitment: How Long Will This REALLY Take?

Let's break down the estimated time commitment based on your rank. These are averages, and your mileage may vary.

Queue Choice: Solo/Duo vs. Flex

You can earn split points in either Solo/Duo Queue or Flex Queue. Which one is right for you?

• Solo/Duo Queue: Classic ranked experience; focused on individual skill; typically faster queue times. Great for climbing the ladder and improving your personal rank.
• Flex Queue: Team up with friends; often a more relaxed atmosphere; can be good for practicing team compositions.
  Both queues count toward your SP total, so choose the one you find more enjoyable.

Practical Playbook: Tips and Tricks for Success

• Play during peak performance hours: early morning queues (less toxicity!), weekend morning sessions.
• Avoid ranked during patch days: Give it a day or two for the dust to settle.
• The "3-game rule": If you lose two games in a row, take a short break. Tilt is real!
• Don't feel like you have to play Master Yi: Play what you're comfortable with. Winning (and earning SP) is the goal.
• Track your progress: Keep an eye on your SP total and adjust your strategy as needed.

Addressing Your Concerns: Common Questions About the New Victorious Skin

Q: What if I hit Gold later in the season? Will I still get the skin?
A: Absolutely! The moment you hit Gold, your split point requirement drops to 80. Any points you've already earned count toward that lower target.
Q: I'm hardstuck in Silver. Will I ever get 1000 Split Points?
A: Yes, you can! Consistent play is key. Break it down into smaller goals (e.g., 100 SP per week) to stay motivated. Think of each game as progress towards your goal.
Q: Does it matter if I win or lose?
A: You get more SP for a win, but you still get some SP for a loss. Every game counts!
Q: What if my Honor Level is below 2?
A: Focus on improving your behavior in-game. Be positive, communicate effectively, and avoid toxicity. You can still raise your Honor Level before the split ends.
Q: When is the skin expected to drop?
A: The Victorious Master Yi skin is expected to go live not long after Patch 25.S1.1 releases in early January.
