Spectre Divide adds ranked play

SOLO & TEAM RANK

When you play Ranked, you can either compete for Solo Rank or Team Rank scores.

Solo Rank
Solo Rank is your traditional rank. It measures your individual score on the ladder. You can compete for Solo Rank when you’re playing alone or in a party of two or three.

Team Rank
Team Rank is the competitive rating of your unique 3-person team. It is independent of Solo Rank, which means, your unique 3-person team can climb to the top of the Team Ranked ladder together.

To earn Team Rank, you’ll need to be playing Ranked as a 3-stack, and the Party Leader must select Team Rank before matchmaking.

RANKED SEASONS

Each Ranked Season will last several months. You can celebrate your Ranked achievements with Seasonal Rewards.

Keep in mind, there may be cases where we need to adjust or reset Ranked tunings during a season.We’ll work to avoid these situations, but you’ll be the first to know of any issues.

RANKED SEASONAL REWARDS

Ranked Sprays and Charms will be awarded based on the highest rank that a player achieves during a Season.

Top Rank Sprays are awarded in both Solo and Team. You can earn both, but you’ll only earn 1 Spray for your best Team Ranked rating (of all your teams).

Solo Rank
• Spray awarded to all players with a solo rank of Diamond or Champion (Top 3%)

Team Rank
• Spray awarded to all players with a Team Rank of Superstars, World Class, or Champions (Top 5%)

Ranked Season Gun Charm
• A Gun Charm that shows off your highest Solo and Team ranks

SANTAI RATING (SR) & RANK TIERS

The Solo Ranks are: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, and Champion.

The Team Ranks are: Undiscovered, Prospect, Talent, Professional, Elite, International, Superstar, World Class, and Champion.

With the exception of Champion ranks, all ranks are split into 4 Tiers, I through IV, where I is the lowest of the Tiers, and IV the highest.

Santai Rating (SR) are the points used to track your progress up and down the ladder, shown at the bottom of the Post Match Scoreboard (more on this below). Earn enough SR to increase your Tier, and move up from the IV Tier to the next Rank. You'll always gain SR on a win, and only ever lose SR on a loss.
• Your SR changes should fall between -40 or +40 in all but the most extreme circumstances

Ties are forced after 22 rounds without a winner, but you'll never lose SR from a tie.

If you reach the Champion rank, you’ll no longer have a cap on your SR. This means you’ll be able to continue increasing your SR by winning more matches.
• This allows Champion ranks to act as an ongoing “leaderboard” to climb for the very best players.
• We won’t have viewable Leaderboards at launch, but we’re working to bring them back online for future Ranked seasons.

RANKED PLACEMENT

When entering Ranked matchmaking for the first time, with a new team, or at the start of a season, you’ll need to play in 5 Ranked Placement Matches before the system can calculate your initial ranking.

When you or your team are still in the process of completing your Placement Matches, you'll see a tracker that shows how many placement matches remain before your initial ranking. .

You’ll see a green check for a win, a red X for a loss, and white circle is shown for any ties.

RANKED PROGRESS

Completing placements and playing more Ranked matches, you’ll see additional UI elements on the Post Match Scoreboard that communicate your SR progress.

• The progress bar spans 200 SR, indicating the Promotion (200) and Demotion (0) thresholds

• After promotion, you start with 50 bonus SR points
o This buffer is to give you some breathing room after jumping into a new Rank

• Along with the bonus 50 SR, you’ll retain any leftover SR you had since the promotion

• Demoted players will drop a Tier and the formula is 200 - 50 - leftover rating
o The bonus 50 SR previously gained from a Rank up is removed to prevent any point inflation.
