On January 8, all ranks reset and players can start to climb again. Not all players will start from Iron, as those that reached higher ranks will get provisional position based on their final Season 10 rank. The rank resets do not apply to Teamfight Tactics, as this game mode has its own schedule.

What is the biggest change coming to Season 11?

Like every previous season, Riot introduced major changes ahead of the new year. In Season 11, the biggest change is the item shop. All items in the game got a rework and the shop introduced Mythic items. These are unique items designed for each specific role.

The shop now suggests which items work better for the player's champion based on the opposing team's champions. But the system is still not fool-proof, and it might be best to go against the suggestions at times.
