Summary
- Rematch players can get their first rank after 5 placement games, and earning more RP will move them up the ladder.
- Ranked unlocks at Level 5. Wins bump RP up, losses knock it down.
- Jumping to a new league means winning 2-of-3 in a promo. Drop too low and you can slide back.
The Rematch Rank System adds both structure and challenge into the competitive side of the game. Every part of it, from the start till you’re climbing leagues, plays a big part. In this guide, we’ll go over how the ranking system actually works, how RP gets earned or lost, and what kind of stuff you can expect as you try to move up.
What Is the Rematch Rank System?
The ranked mode in Rematch is where it all starts to feel more serious. Because you’ll be matched up with players who are kinda close to your skill level, so games feel fair most of the time.
Win a match and your RP goes up. Lose one, and —it goes down. And when you’re close to ranking up, you’ll need to go through promotion matches just to prove you’re ready.
This guide will go over the basics. Stuff like unlocking Ranked, and what it takes to move through the ranks. First, let’s look at how many ranks and tiers there are in the Rematch Rank System.
Rematch has a total of 6 ranks/leagues:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Diamond
- Elite
These leagues are further divided into 3 tiers each. For example, Bronze has Bronze 3 as its lowest tier and Bronze 1 as the highest. The same goes for every other league. Naturally, earning more RP would mean progressing into higher tiers, and that’s how you climb the Rematch Ranked ladder.
How Ranked Matches Work
At the moment, Ranked only has the 5v5 format. If you’re into 3v3 or 4v4, you’ll have to stick with casual for now. Ranked uses the same rules as casual, but everything feels a bit more pressure. The system rewards players who play smart, stay consistent, and work well with their team, so if you always go solo, it might get rough.
Unlocking Ranked Mode
You can’t just jump straight into Ranked. First, you gotta reach Level 5. That’s there to make sure players kinda know the game before going competitive. The best way to level fast is to play standard matches. Workshop or Freeplay might help you get better, but they don’t give XP. So if you’re aiming for Ranked, regular games are the way.
Placement Matches
To get your first rank, you gotta finish five placement matches. It’s not exactly clear if your stats matter a lot, but most players think that your wins count the most here. So once those placements are done, your RP will go up or down depending if you win or lose. Your personal performance? Doesn’t seem to affect RP that much, what really matters is the team result.
Promotions and Demotions
The Rank System includes a promotion and demotion system based on how often you win or lose matches. Here’s the basics of how it works:
- Each division needs 100 RP. You start with 100 in Bronze 2, so earning a total of 200 RP would land you in Bronze 1, and so on.
- If you win, you get around +20 RP. Lose a game, and you’re losing around -17 RP or so. That number could change a little depending on your MMR.
- If you hit 5 RP and then lose, you’ll hit 0. One more L at 0 RP and you might get demoted. But it’s not always instant. Some players stay in the division even after a few Ls at 0 RP.
- Wanna go up to a higher league, like Silver to Gold? Then you gotta win a best-of-three promo series. 2 wins out of 3 and you’re in.
- But if you’re just ranking up inside the same league, like Silver 2 to Silver 1, you don’t need promo. Just earn enough RP and you move up easily.
Conclusion
The Rematch Rank System gives players something to grind for and goals to hit. With RP-based divisions, promo matches, and rewards for being consistent, it makes rank play feel organized. Whether you’re climbing slowly or really grinding hard to reach the top, Ranked is all about smart teamwork, good decisions, and just keepin’ at it.
Right now it’s all 5v5 so get in there, queue up, and try to get them.
