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 that were played
Earning 100 RP will promote Players to the next Division, but dropping below 0 RP will demote 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

In addition, the patch brings free content in the form of flags and antennas.
