League of Legends 2026 Role Quests Patch 26.01: All Details Explained

Role quests in League of Legends 2026 are getting a wide overhaul that changes how every role scales and contributes across a full match. Starting with League of Legends Patch 26.01, the system expands past jungle and support, giving all five roles their own progression track and role-locked rewards.

The idea behind Role quests in League of Legends 2026 is to keep progression tied to normal gameplay. Farming, skirmishing, and taking objectives are all it takes to advance, while each role receives rewards that fit its position on the map.

How role quests work in League of Legends 2026

Role quests in League of Legends 2026 progress automatically through standard in-game actions. There are no side missions or special objectives to chase, making the system easy to understand for newer players while still rewarding lane discipline.

Progress is earned through a mix of objectives and passive gain:

• Minion kills
• Champion takedowns
• Turret plates and turret takedowns
• Epic monster takedowns
• Passive progress starting at 1:05, increased when near the assigned lane

Anti-laneswap rules apply to top lane, bot lane, and support. Until level 3, gold and experience from minions are reduced when playing outside the intended lane. Completion timing is expected to feel similar to current support item upgrades.

Top lane role quests in League of Legends 2026 require 1200 points. Progress comes faster when actions are taken in top lane, reinforcing lane commitment early on.

Progress sources include:

• Minion kill: +1 (+2 in Top Lane)
• Champion takedown: +15
• Turret plate: +20 (+40 in Top Lane)
• Turret takedown: +25 (+50 in Top Lane)

  • +8 per 5 seconds when near Top Lane

Once completed, top laners receive several scaling rewards:

• Level cap increased to 20
• +600 XP on completion
• 12.5% increased experience gain going forward

Teleport is also upgraded through the quest. If Teleport was not selected at game start, top laners gain Unleashed Teleport with a 7-minute cooldown. If Teleport was selected, it gains a 30% max HP shield for 30 seconds on arrival.

Mid lane role quest – Tier 3 boots and empowered Recall

Mid lane role quests in League of Legends 2026 require 1350 points. In addition to objective-based progress, mid laners also gain points through combat.

Bot lane role quest – Seventh item slot

Bot lane role quests in League of Legends 2026 also require 1350 points and include anti-laneswap protection until level 3. Progress values increase when actions are taken in bot lane.

Progress highlights:

• Minion kill: +1.5 (+3 in Bot Lane)
• Champion takedown: +15
• Turret plate: +20 (+40 in Bot Lane)
• Turret takedown: +25 (+50 in Bot Lane)

• +2 gold per minion kill for the rest of the game
• +50 gold per champion takedown for the rest of the game

Boots are moved into a dedicated Role Quest slot, opening a seventh inventory slot. This slot only frees space for non-boot items, meaning seven Legendary items are still not possible.

Jungle role quest changes in League of Legends 2026

Jungle role quests in League of Legends 2026 receive tuning rather than a full rebuild. Early clearing is slowed, while objective control and late-game value increase.

Support role quest changes in League of Legends 2026

Support role quests in League of Legends 2026 stay familiar while adding quality-of-life improvements. Anti-laneswap rules reduce gold and XP from minions and support quest items outside bot lane until level 3.
