The battle pass xp per level is somewhat absurd. w/ math

READ THE POST RATHER THAN COMMENTING BASED ON AN UNEDITABLE TITLE

So I was curious about just how long it would take to hit level 50 on the battle pass so I decided to do the math out. It's all documented on this excel sheet. It includes fields for how many games you play per week and what percentage of missions you complete among other variables. It can predict based on how many games you play what tier of the battle pass you will get.

Important Note: “...The battlepass will take ~100 hours to complete. Weekly XP's also scale up in every week to smooth out the experience curves. Just to give you an idea, the first set of weeklies offer 28,350 total XP and the last set of weeklies offer 60,750 total XP...” -Riot dev below .

This post and the calculator have been edited to account for the new info from Riot. Overall, with all the known sources of xp, it comes out to 138 hours through the calculator. Perhaps, there's additional unannounced content that will account for the 38 hour difference. Thank you riot for the clear communication, it really makes y’all stand out.

Here's the summary though:

  • 1,372,000 XP is needed to get to level 50.
  • If you start today with a two month long battle pass, that's 171,500 XP per week.
  • Completing every weekly and daily mission yields ~75,000 XP per week. Riot has clarified that the weekly missions will increase from the 28,000 currently to 60,000. My math assumes it scales linearly over time.
  • With that in mind, it takes roughly 23 games of unrated per week in order to get to level 50. This assumes the average match is 13-8 and a 50% win/loss. This is also assuming you don't miss a single mission. Riot has stated weekly missions don't expire.
  • That represents 17 hrs of valorant per week from this calculator compared to the 16.3 from Riots numbers in order to fully complete it. Assuming you aren't going to grind hard, use the calculator to estimate which level you'd end up on.
  • Don't assume 50% of the time commitment means level 25, the xp/level and missions make it so you get much further than halfway for half the effort.

It’s confirmed ~two months here. “About every two months, an Act ends along with its associated battle pass.”

TL;DR: Riot has clarified that the weekly mission xp will increase over time. It's roughly 17 hr/week by my calculator if you min/max compared to the 16 per/week from what Riots stated. Use the calculator to see how far you'll get.

Edit 5:50 pm: This post has been edited heavily from the original for clarity and due to new information being provided from Riot. To the best of my knowledge, the calculator is correct and agrees with what Riot has stated about the battle pass. Obviously, if there are unannounced xp sources it'll go quicker. I chose to nuke all the old shit as clarity>record keeping.
