A Summoner represents a player's persistent identity in League of Legends, distinguished by their summoner name and icon. Unlike champions that change each match, the summoner profile remains constant across all game interactions.

Core Elements:

  • Summoner level increases with experience gained from matches
  • Controls champions during matches
  • Uses Summoner Spells and Runes to influence gameplay
  • Earns Experience and Blue Essence after matches

Modern Implementation:

  • As of November 2023, traditional Summoner Names were replaced by Riot ID
  • Players now use non-unique usernames with hashtags
  • Profile customization includes banners, frames, and icons

Profile Features:

  • Tracks game statistics and achievements
  • Displays champion roster
  • Shows collection of skins, runes, spells, and emotes
  • Customizable visual elements

Historical Context:

  • Originally tied to in-game lore through the Institute of War
  • Term "Summoner" remains in use for game elements like Summoner Spells
  • Lore was reworked in late 2014, removing the Institute of War storyline

The Summoner's Code:

  • Official rules and guidelines from Riot Games
  • Governs player behavior in competitive play
  • Violations can result in temporary or permanent suspensions
  • Players can report code violations for review
