In order to take part in ranked matches, you need to first reach level 30. Don’t worry, because you can level up, and you’ll reach level 30 before you realize it. Today, we will look at the fastest way to reach level 30 in League of Legends.

The Fast-Track Methods
Experience Boosts (Duration)– If you really want to quickly reach level 30, you need to take advantage of duration experience boosts. Using duration experience boosts, you will receive bonus EXP during a set number of games, and it doesn’t matter if you lose or win.
The best value boost will cost you 1020RP and lasts for 7 days. Depending on how long you play, you may need to pick up a couple of these to reach level 30.
Using experience boosts, you should be able to work your way to level 30 within a month, which is pretty good.
- Boosting – If you don’t really have the time it takes to get to level 30, but you really want to be level 30 and have money to spare, you could always look into a boosting service. However, these boosting services aren’t cheap and can take the fun out of the game (it’s fun to level because you feel like you’re achieving something).
- Experience Boosts (Wins) – Whenever you win a game, with experience boosts, you will be granted bonus exp. However, if you lose the game, you’re not going to receive anything. (klonopin) The best value boost is for a total of 40 wins and will set you back 2240RP. To reach level 30, you’ll need to pick up two of these.
If you get experience boosts (wins and duration), you can combine the two together, which is a good idea.
- Playing Normal Games – To reach level 30 quickly, you should stay away from those bot games and stick to the normal PVP games. On your way to the significant level 30, you’ll probably win half of those normal games, and with those bot games, you’ll win most of them. Without boosts, you’re looking at around 250 normal games to reach the required level 30. Without using experience boosts, that’s not very quick.
Experience boosts can be used in bot games, though, which can make leveling a tad faster. With using boosts in bot games, you’ll need around 150 hours of playtime in order to reach the desired level 30.

Not Your First Time? Try These!
If you don’t want to spend a considerable amount of cash, and still want to reach that elusive level 30 before anyone else, the following methods are your go-to!
1. Speedrun AI Games
This is probably the fastest way to level up if you are skilled enough to trash on AI bots. The premise here is simple, you can consistently tackle AI games, which are generally faster than normals, where each match is predictable.
Level Range | XP from Bots |
---|---|
1-9 | 100% |
10-19 | 90% |
20-29 | 80% (65% after 180 minutes each day) |
30 | 75% (55% after 180 minutes each day) |
It’s not the fastest way to gain exp, but it can be better than norms, where you need to put your all. Always aim for quick wins, or the slight advantage won’t matter.
2. Grind Featured Game Modes
Featured game modes tend to be shorter than the normal Summoner Rift matches while still giving the same amount of experience points, and depending on the situation, they can go above and beyond.
The best part? They’re extremely catchy, meaning you don’t really need to focus and power through the pain of doing the same redundant things over and over again.
However, do note that in a perfect world, Featured Game Modes, do NOT give you the same amount of experience points compared to what Summoner’s Rift.
The Perfect Strategy To Reach Level 30!
Now that we’ve understood the components, let’s take this a step further, and combine everything to see what kind of strategies emerge.
1. Chug Boosts, and Play Featured Modes with Friends: This is only viable if there is a featured mode out, and is rightfully the most effective, and enjoyable way to reach level 30.
2. Play Normals With a Premade Team: This method involves rounding up your more skillful friends to princess carry you to level 30 – winning each game early due to the skill difference, and providing you just enough entertainment to power farm to level 30.
3. Grab Your Wallet: This is the simplest, period. Just shell some out on a pre-leveled account, but that’s technically cheating the system.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
In order to reach level 30, you need to obtain exactly 37,392 experience points. Now, this can take around 200 games in practice, but considering win-loss ratio, we can estimate an average of 250 games to reach level 30.
Here’s all the info highlighting the possible costs associated with going for any strategy:
