League of Legends: Complete Guide to XP Boosts and Store Features
Experience boosts can temporarily increase the amount of summoner experience points earned after matches in League of Legends. There are two main types:
Duration Boosts:
- Active for a specific time period (e.g., 1 day)
- Applies to all games played during that period
- Automatically extended during planned server downtime
Win Boosts:
- Only applied to winning games
- Expires after winning the specified number of games
- Can be combined with Duration Boosts for increased benefits
Important Notes:
- Boosts can be purchased with Riot Points from the store
- Sometimes given by Riot as compensation
- Doesn't affect First Win of the Day or matchmaking bonuses
- When combining both boost types, you'll receive both bonuses simultaneously
Historical Changes:
- IP (Influence Point) boosts were removed in patch V7.22
- Previously, win boosts gave flat IP amounts based on game mode
- Special events occasionally featured free IP boosts for the community
The boost system helps players accelerate their leveling progress while maintaining game balance, as it only affects experience gains and not in-game performance.
