GOALS New Ranked System Explained
On November 12th, the GOALS ranked system SR and MMR will reset, and users will play five placement matches to determine their rank.
The new GOALS Ranked System is much more accurate; it does a better job of tracking players' skills and pairing them with similar-skill opponents.
Players' SR and MMR are now closely aligned, which in turn creates more enjoyable and competitive matches.
The SR gain and loss system was tweaked, with players being rewarded with bigger gains for beating opponents of higher SR. This also applies to the 5v5 mode, where every player now gets their own SR gain or loss.
This new ranked system addresses the issue of boosting, especially in the 5v5 mode using brand-new accounts, making it harder for players to exploit it.
At the same time, it also makes it easier for new players who usually play in a four- or five-person stack to catch up to veteran players and ensures they are placed in a rank that reflects their skill.
This is everything you need to know about the new ranked system coming to GOALS on November 12th.
