Soft Elo Reset

• Taking into account user feedback, we decided to go with a less aggressive Elo squash. This should reduce the frustration of playing early in the season against more skilled players and create better matchmaking for everyone.
• Your tiers (gold, platinum, etc) and your best rating have been adjusted accordingly.

1v1 and 2v2 Personal Rating 

• Under 1400: New Elo = Old Elo
• Over 1400: New Elo = 1400 + (Old Elo – 1400) / (3 – (3000 – Old Elo) / 800)

2v2 Team and Legend Rating

• 2v2 Team & Legend Ratings  have been brought closer to 750.
• Under 2000: Elo = (Elo + 375) / 1.5
• Over 2000, we aggressively brought you back down as a way of resetting the top tiers. Diamond level players will be reset to high gold or low platinum.

Glory Earnings Calculation

Glory earned is based on a combination of your Peak Rating (highest 1v1, 2v2, team, or Legend rating/elo) and total Wins. This was designed in order to reward both skill and dedication for those who pursue Glory.

Glory from Wins

You gain 20 Glory per win up to 150 wins which gets you 3000 Glory. After 150 wins, each subsequent win gives you slightly less.

Glory from Peak Rating

There is a minimum requirement of 10 games played to be eligible for Glory based on your rating.

Ranked Borders from Season 2

If you placed in gold or better in your best rating, you are given a ranked border that people will see in the match preview screen. There is a ranked border for gold, platinum, and diamond tiers. These will last for one season and will be updated again after Season 3.

Your border from Season 1 does not carry over or have any impact on your Season 2 border.

Ranked Avatars from Season 2

Ranked Avatars will be rewarded, this time with a prestigious versions for those who’ve placed in high ranks in both Season 1 and Season 2. For example, if you placed in Platinum last season and Gold this season you’ll receive the upgraded versions of the Competitor’s Badge and Gold Emblem. You will still have your original Platinum Emblem avatar from Season 1.

• Competitor’s Badge: Awarded to anyone who plays 10 Ranked Games or more.
• Gold Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Gold or above.
• Platinum Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Platinum or above.
• Diamond Emblem: Awarded to players who finish at Diamond.
• Upgraded versions of Ranked Avatars are awarded to those who have earned the same Avatar in both Season 1 and season 2.
