Ranked mode

Availability

Ranked Mode is currently only available during limited times as we roll the feature out.

This is so that we can more closely follow the data, ensuring that server population is sufficient for quick but tight matchmaking while keeping tabs on game performance and player feedback to allow us to quickly iterate and improve the game mode.

Ranked Mode is available at the following times:

TUESDAY

Each week we'll review the feedback and data meaning these times may change rapidly.

Please note that all players can take part in the game mode by simply changing their region to whichever region is currently available. This means that NA players could join the EU queue or vice versa, so long as you don't mind the disadvantage of potential ping/connection issues.

In addition to the above availability, there will be no restrictions on Heroes available for Ranked Mode. As new Heroes are launched they will become available to play in all game modes.

What is ranked mode

Ranked Mode is a new game mode coming soon to Predecessor, offering intense competition for anyone looking to be recognised as Predecessor's greatest players.

Initially available for limited periods each weekend, we'll be expanding and iterating on this game mode as time goes on, following the data and of course, player feedback.

You'll be able to queue up alone or with an ally, rising up the ranks as you battle it out to top the weekly leaderboard.

Requirements

In order to participate in Ranked Mode, your account must first meet certain criteria. This is to help maintain the competitive nature of the game mode.

  • Player account level must be 20* or higher.

  • Player account must have unlocked at least 20* Heroes.

  • Player account must be in good standing and not subject to any ongoing matchmaking bans.

Furthermore there's some additional requirements for playing Ranked Mode with a friend. Specifically you can only queue up with a friend who's of a roughly similar rank to you.

* Previously this level requirement was 30.
** These 20 Heroes must be fully unlocked Heroes. Heroes available to you via free rotation will not count towards this threshold.

Rewards

It's not just about the competition, there's goodies on offer too for those who excel at Ranked Mode!

As you win more matches in Ranked Mode you'll earn Victory Points or VP. If you lose matches, you'll lose VP. Accumulate enough VP and you'll get ranked up!

Ranks

As well as helping you climb the overall leaderboard, accumulating enough VP will also promote you to a new rank.

Reaching higher ranks means you'll get matched with harder opponents and get better rewards at the end of the season.

The possible ranks are as follows, from lowest to highest:

Bronze

Silver

Gold

Platinum

Diamond

Paragon

Having some rough games? Be careful - it's also possible to go down a rank if you lose too many matches!

Season Rewards

At the end of each Ranked Mode season you'll be rewarded based on two criteria.

  • The rank you finished with at the end of the season.

  • The highest rank you achieved during the season.

These rewards will be given out after a season has finished and will include all kinds of exclusive items such as profile icons and banners, so look out for specific information for each season.

seasons

Ranked Mode will be broken into distinct seasons of content, with progress and leaderboards being reset at the start of each new season.

Each season will last for a number of months, with mid-season splits taking place throughout to act as milestones to compete for.

In its initial rollout, Ranked Mode in Predecessor will launch in a Pre-Season state. This will run for a number of months until we're ready to officially launch Season 1.
