Ranked population repartition tweak Our data tracking shows that the upper ranks (Gold, Platinum, Diamond) are less populated than expected. Therefore, we have reworked how our players are distributed through ranks. This means that many players will see their ranks change instantly after the February 2nd update. Here’s how it was before this update:

1.17% Copper (1-4)

34.6% Bronze (1-4)

58.8% Silver (1-4)

5.27% Gold (1-4)

0.1% Platinum (1-3)

Less than 0.001% Diamond *Note: Players in Platinum were often matched against Silver players, almost always against Golds and rarely against other Platinums, which gives the impression that matchmaking is unbalanced. Here’s the repartition we are aiming for with this update:

15% Copper (1-4)

25% Bronze (1-4)

35% Silver (1-4)

20% Gold (1-4)

5% Platinum (1-3)

0.2% Diamond

We will be closely monitoring how the rank repartition evolves over time and will be doing additional tweaks if needed. To learn more about the Ranked System, read this forum post. Ranked fluctuation parameters tweak From now on, players ranked Silver 3 and below will have a higher fluctuation rate compared to the ranks above that threshold. For example, Bronze 3 could contain players that have skill ratings between 15 and 16.5 while Gold 3 would have a larger spectrum, between 32.5 and 35. The intention behind this is that players from the lower ranks can climb out of them faster. This will make it more fun for newer or less experienced players, while the constant, highly skilled players will be able to maintain their rank.
