Ranked Season
Season 1 has officially begun and all leaderboards have been reset
The “Solo Standard” 3v3 Ranked Playlist has been re-added
Season Rankings are now based on Rank Points (RP)
Rank Points are gained or lost based on Player skill rating, teammates’ skill, and the opponent’s skill (like the Pre-Season rating)
Rank Points change consistently throughout the Season unlike the Pre-Season skill rating, which changed less and less the more games were played
Earning 100 RP will promote Players to the next Division, but dropping below 0 RP will demotes them to the previous Division
The Player’s initial division is seeded based on their Pre-Season skill rating
Ranked Divisions are now separated into…
Unranked
Bronze I
Bronze II
Bronze III
Silver I
Silver II
Silver III
Gold I
Gold II
Gold III
Platinum (Top 100 Players)
Reaching Silver, Gold, or Platinum division rewards players with special reward items at the Season’s end
Note: Season 1 will last for the next several months. An end date will be announced several weeks in advance
