We're putting the new League System up on the PBE for testing!
There's still a ton of stuff we're developing for it but we also wanted to get it in front of you guys as soon as possible to get feedback and see how it performs with a "real" dataset. For this test, there are some parts of the experience still un-implemented (like messaging for promotions and series starts) that we know are missing, and we'd like to focus feedback on the number tuning of the system.
In order to facilitate testing, we're going to turn off all queues except ranked solo and co-op vs AI so we get a high volume of games going through the system and lower queue times (leaving co-op vs AI so people can still test balance changes and Thresh without having to go through a full ranked game). We've also lowered thresholds for each tier to enable more movement through the leagues.
Here are some known issues to be aware of (since this system is still under very active development you guys are really getting a peek behind the curtain here):
-League data is not unloaded from memory in some cases, which will increase the memory footprint of the client as you browse through more and more leagues
-There are various visual glitches we're aware of, such as summoner icons not showing up in some cases
-If an unranked player looks at the league screen and then -in the same session- finishes their final provisional game, they will still see the unranked interstitial on the league view. It's possible to work around this by navigating through the challenger tier view or restarting the client.
And I'll also be available for questions on the forums or in this thread in between games on the PBE all day today. Please use this thread to report bugs and give feedback.
It seems I can't see other people(moslty friends) League and stat but only challenger tier. Is this normal ?
If you're not in a league, you will only see the challenger tier on your own league page. You can check out your friends' leagues by going to their profiles and clicking the league view. Let me know if that's what you're doing and still can't see anything.
I started out at 1367 elo (top and current rating) and was placed into a League Gold Division 5...confusing so i did a game and got +40 something elo and checked again and ive gained 34 league points. So my understanding is there will still be personal elo you gain to track yourself and the league points that move you up and down Leagues/Divisions etc? and im still wondering how the heck do i get into Gold Divison 5 with 1367 Elo ? shouldnt it be like silver division 1-2 or something
Where are you seeing your elo? Also, we've adjusted the tier tuning for the PBE so that people can move through them and experience the flow.

The seeding on the PBE is tuned such that it's easier to get into the higher tiers so that we could test them out more easily. The fact that your Elo rating is still visible is a bug. League Points will be the primary method of tracking your progress (along with series matches, divisions, and tiers).
Hey you said somewhere that you can't drop down out of a tier once you've reached it.
How does this work with Challenger tier since there are only 50 slots?
Is it the only tier you can get dropped out of?
Players in the challenger tier need to continue proving they're one of the top 50 players in order to stay there. So they can get knocked out by another player if they fall low enough / the other player rises high enough, or by becoming inactive.
your elo isn't supposed to be showing afaik which is why I posed that
it still hasn't seeded me into a league
Unfortunately we didn't manage to get the change for reducing the # of seeding games from 10 to 3 into the build in time, so normal seeding rules still apply at the moment. I also wouldn't pay too much attention to the Elo display, we'll be cleaning that up soon.

Good news, we were able to change this today. If you've already played 3 games, your next game will seed you into a league. If you haven't played 3 games, you will be seeded after 3 games.
Thanks for all the reports everyone. We're going to be putting up another build for testing soon that will fix a lot of the issues you've caught already. Keep the reports coming!
