With Patch 14.15, Riot Games dropped a big update for anyone looking to jump into ranked games. The new rule? Every fresh account has to play at least 10 normal games before unlocking ranked. 🎮

We’ve already broken down the full details of this change here if you want to catch up.

Impact on MMR Smurf Accounts

Before this update, our fresh MMR smurf accounts were all the rage. They came with 0 normal games played, keeping that hidden MMR squeaky clean. This meant you could start your ranked climb with a totally fresh slate—no baggage, just pure skill. 💪

But now, with the 10-game requirement, we had to adapt to keep things convenient for you. No more grinding through normal games before getting to the real action.

Introducing New Win Account Tiers

To keep the smurfing dream alive, we’ve rolled out a new line of win accounts. These accounts are grouped into four tiers based on the number of wins in those 10 required normal games. So whether you're aiming for a quick climb or just want to start strong, we’ve got you covered:

  • 1-4 Wins
  • 5-6 Wins
  • 7-9 Wins
  • 10 Wins

You can check them out in our Unranked Smurfs level 30+ accounts section. These accounts have already put in the work, so you can dive straight into ranked without worrying about the normal game grind. 🚀

Season 14 New accounts Placements - Expected MMR and LP Gains

We’ve run the tests, crunched the numbers, and here’s what you can expect from these win accounts. Assuming you go beast mode and win all your placements, here’s where you’ll likely end up:

Amount of Wins Expected MMR (Assuming you win all placements)
0-4 Wins Iron 1 / Bronze 1
5-6 Wins Silver 4-1
7-9 Wins Gold 4/3
10 Wins Gold 2/1

And the best part? These accounts come with super generous LP gains, around +38 LP per win. 💰 This will hold strong, no matter the number of wins you have so far, but expect it to level out as you play more games and your win rate approaches that sweet 55% after about 50 games.

Conclusion

Patch 14.15 may have changed the rules, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still hit ranked with a competitive edge. With our pre-played win accounts, you’re set to start your journey in style—whether you're aiming to dominate from Gold or climb your way up from Silver.

Happy smurfing! 🎉
