Season 2 Ranked Game Rewards and Badges

Season 2 is coming to an end and players are scrambling to get their badges!

Riot has increased the rewards this time around, along with subdividing the queue requirements!

Here are the changes for this season:

(taken directly from their announcements page)

• Season 2 rewards will be based on the highest rating you achieve between now and the end of the season. Once you’ve achieved a tier, you’ll have it for good, and playing more games can only help you out. In order to do this, we are resetting Top Rating for all players to their Current Rating and will be using Top Rating to determine end-of-season reward tiers.
• We’re adding a whole new tier! Diamond will be at the top and the other tiers have expanded so that everyone who becomes ranked will qualify for a tier and the corresponding rewards. Players who joined a team on or after September 1 will also need to win five games with that team to qualify for rewards.
• We’ve upgraded the medal art on your summoner profile. At each new tier, you’ll unlock an awesome new medal.
• Tiers will now be subdivided into rating “ranks”. These ranks inform you of how close you are to moving up to the next tier. Moving up a rank also enhances your summoner profile medal.

So as you can see, these new requirements are pretty decent. I like the fact that it will calculate based on your TOP RATING instead of your CURRENT RATING (which is what screwed me up last season... lame...) when the end of the season comes.
