What is Ranked Mode?
- RANK MATCH: Matches with stakes for ranking. You earn (and can lose) rank standing, and your rank badge is shown to opponents. Rank is automatically a 3 out of 5 set, and characters are locked in until the set is complete.
- Upon one player “winning” 3 out of 5 Rank Matches in a set, players can continue the set and change characters. Any subsequent matches within this set do not change ranking.
- XP is completely unrelated to your rank.
- CASUAL MATCH: The same matchmaking flow as you’ve experienced before this patch. No rank on the line and no badges shown.
What are Rank badges?
Your Character rank is shown as a badge. There are 10 badges you can earn, in two groups:
- Beginner ranks (Badges 1-3): earned by doing placement matches. Your score will be calibrated over some number of games (not a fixed number). You start at Rookie, then move to Apprentice when you complete the first third of the matches you need, then move to Acolyte when you reach the second third of the matches you need.
- Master ranks (Badges 4-10): Once you are out of placement rounds, you will be assigned a badge based on your rank points for that character. The skill ranges from roughly 1000-2000 rank points. Badge 10 is not accessible right now, ooh mysterious what can it be?!
RAGEQUIT JAIL:
Ragequit jail is implemented! The game puts you in a different queue if your DC rate is over 20%.
What is XP?
XP shows how much you’ve played online! XP does not affect your rank. Rank points can only be accumulated in Ranked Mode.
