LoL Season 2023 is finally upon us, with the Season Kickoff event coming on Tuesday, January 10. After a little bit of a wait and various champions having their changes discussed, we have a full rundown of what to expect this season, including new skins available, new reset systems, and a new bunch of rewards for you to earn. We’ll run down everything we know is coming in the new season so you can get straight to work.

If you’ve been out of the game for a little while then catch up on the major changes that were made in the LoL 2023 Preseason patch.

  • Two Hextech chests and keys
  • Six Icons
  • 3,000 Blue Essence
  • Eight Championship shards
  • Season 2023 Kickoff Icon and Season 2023 Icon

LoL Season 2023 Champion changes

While we don’t know the exact details yet, we do know which Champions will be getting overhauls this season, and what the overall plans are for tweaks and changes going into this year.

Ahri’s ASU (art & sustainability update) is coming with her base, skins, VFX, splashes, and tails being completely reworked. This won’t have any gameplay changes (yet), but it will dramatically improve Ahri’s look and design going forward.

Aurelian Sol will be getting a new ability kit for the Star Forger in their CGU (comprehensive gameplay update). Aurelian Sol has always been quite a unique hero gameplay-wise, and this upcoming overhaul will hopefully keep that intact while making them a little easier to grasp.

Changes to existing Champions aren’t the only thing coming this year as two new champions are on their way. Not much is known about them yet apart from their names: Milio is a male enchanter from Ixtal, and Naafiri is a female midlane Darkin assassin.

A bunch of new skins are on their way in 2023 with Champions like Kalista, Aurelion Sol, Ivern, and Kled eventually getting some more skins. On top of that, a new Faerie Court skinline has been announced alongside the return of the Cats vs Dogs skinline.

Finally, the Lunar Gods skinline and Mythmakers skinlines are coming in patches 13.1 and 13.2 respectively, here is the full list of skins that will be available in those lines:

  • Lunar Empress Ashe
  • Lunar Guardian Kha'Zix
  • Lunar Empress Qiyana
  • Lunar Guardian Malphite
  • Lunar Emperor Thresh
  • Mythmaker Galio
  • Mythmaker Garen
  • Mythmaker Irelia (Legendary)
  • Mythmaker Sivir
  • Mythmaker Zyra
  • Prestige Mythmaker Sivir
  • Prestige Porcelain Lissandra

LoL Season 2023 Ranked changes

LoL Ranked tiers
League of Legends Ranked will be more lenient to less active players in 2023

In previous years, there has been a lot of concern with people who find themselves experiencing rank decay or demotion in the middle of the year due to the long seasons, so now the two usual Ranked Splits will have a Ranked Reset in between, both of which will offer rewards. These resets will be less severe than the one at the start of the season, but they’ll help keep everyone on more level ground and get you some rewards for your troubles.
