League of Legends Season 12 Ranked is almost here.
In preparation for the new Season 12, Riot Games has brought significant changes to the Summoner’s Rift in the 2022 preseason. The most notable one was the introduction of the new dragons and Objective Bounties. On top of that, Riot has also brought some meaningful changes to one of the most popular summoner spells, Teleport.
Chemtech & Hextech dragon soul and objective bounties already received nerfs in the preseason patches. However, one of the most important changes of the season, Teleport changes, that could redefine how the early game is played in League of Legends went live with no testing. And according to many, early season 12 ranked could be rough for some players, especially the Top laners.
Regardless, the first patch of the year, patch 12.1, just went live. Meaning, it is also the time of the year for the new Ranked 2022 season to start.

League of Legends Season 12 ranked season will officially start from Friday, January 7, 2022.
