The rules

How ranked works

You can play ranked after 60 wins in Standard matches, with at least 15 wins on each of 3 different heroes.

Your first 8 ranked matches place you in a rank.

You can queue alone or with one friend, but not in a bigger party.

There are 11 ranks, each split into six subranks (I to VI). The top rank, Eternus, is split by how you compare with other players, so its subranks move every day.

The current part of Beta Season 1 started on 30 July 2026 and ends on 5 November 2026.
