Opinions online are polarized: junglers are the darlings of Season 42, and the hidden rewards are surprisingly exciting? (Part 2)

With the pace accelerating, the jungler position is the biggest beneficiary. If you have the awareness and skills to play assassins well, the system will give you the most appropriate score based on your performance, allowing you to win a gold medal and a top lane title. Your ranking efficiency will be much faster than in the mid-to-late game. It's no wonder that people with strong self-awareness don't mind participating at the beginning of the season. They know that their skills are not bad, and they may not reach the top 1000, but they are still at the high-level of the game.

Before the environment changes, choose the most suitable option.

However, as time went on, the top players returned to their original positions, but due to the rank environment and being dragged down by their teammates, the T0 heroes they used became unsuitable options. The saying "You have to seize the time to climb the ranks" has a different interpretation at that stage.

Some Summoners play purely for fun and don't care too much about ranks. It's more like the game mode is casual. High-level players focus on efficiency, and reaching the highest rank, Challenger, is like completing unfinished events and tasks after a world map update. They rush to finish them after the update and don't need to worry about them too much afterward. They check the rewards when they have time and work their way up to the top rank. On the other hand, the game can be seen as just entertainment. They can play a few matches in their spare time on weekends. Since there are regular events, participating now means that the event tasks are just extra work. Why not take advantage of the event period to climb the ranks? It's killing two birds with one stone.

The title of "lone hero" is highly representative.

Whatever game mode you choose, the ultimate goal is a reward, which doesn't necessarily have to be a skin. It could be a title. Top players might rush to the Glory King rank just to unlock the 50-star title. Compared to the international server's free options, the Chinese server assesses your performance with each hero, your fighting style, and your team contributions, giving you a comprehensive evaluation: Glory Mage, Glory Marksman, Glory Jungler, and so on. This indicates that your main role is a specific position.

Among them, Lone Hero, Peerless, and Legendary Peak are unanimously recognized as the most prestigious in the entire Rift. Lone Hero, in particular, as the name suggests, signifies a lone wolf and is the ultimate certification of a solo queue player's skill. They climb the ranks without relying on anyone, without a fixed team, without language support, and force themselves to increase their win rate. This badge truly moves solo queue players and shows that hard work pays off.
