YEAR 3 SEASON 1 RANKED SEASON

It is the first season of the year and we are opening with some changes, features and great rewards! This Season will run until the end of 3.4. Read on to see what we’ve done for ranked to see why.

RANKED ACCESS REQUIREMENTS UPDATED

In previous updates, players only had to reach level 10 and have access to at least 10 Rogues in order to play.  This was noticeably too low of a requirement and created situations where players who weren’t quite ready for the skill-gap when jumping in that early. Therefore, we are enacting the following changes:

  • Ranked now requires Account Level 25 and ownership of 12 Rogues to play

This asks for players to put in a bit more time learning the rule sets, mechanics of the games and the nuances of our Rogues/Weapons before diving into competitive.

DRAFT PICK BANS INCREASED

Additionally, in a match we are updating the number of bans available to each team up to 2 Rogues. This results in a total of four Rogues to be banned out of a match. That is an entire team composition! It’ll be exciting to see how players will plan around this change to Draft Pick.

YEAR 3 SEASON 1 RANKED REWARDS

This Season we continue the trend of offering better tier rewards for our most devoted and high-skilled players that grind and compete in Ranked! The following Ranked Rewards are what you can gain by competing and being the best.

  • Get Ranked Contract Reward: Demonic Gaze Epic Avatar
  • Gone Rogue Contract Reward: Shiny and Chrome Cannon Outfit
  • NEW! Top 1000 Rogue Ranked Players: Rainbow Dust Dima Legendary Outfit
  • NEW! Top 500 Rogue Ranked Players: Brimstone Sahara Mythic Weapon Skin
  • NEW! Top 100 Rogue Ranked Players: Rogue Demon Mythic Title

PLAYER LEVEL UNCAPPED AND PROGRESSION REWARDS

This update also comes with yet another request frequently made by players which is raising the player level cap:

  • Max Player Level Increased from 550 → 1000
    We will increase the level cap again at a future date with more rewards!

NEW MAP: HIGHCASTLE OMEGA

In this Update we are introducing a new version of Highcastle called Highcastle Omega! This map boasts not only an amazing visual update but also new combat spaces and routes. You’ll find this map in the following Queues:

  • Limited Time Only! Highcastle Omega Variety Queue
  • Quickplay
  • Normal Strikeout & Demolition
  • Custom Strikeout & Demolition
  • Practice Strikeout & Demolition
  • Ranked Strikeout & Demolition
  • 6v6 TDM
  • 4v4 KOTH

“But First Watch, what about Old Highcastle?!” Worry not! We felt that the gameplay differences between the two maps are significant enough to warrant them both being in the map pool! We look forward to playing this new map with you all and excited to hear what you think!

WEAPONS & GADGETS

LMGS

LMGs are getting an identity adjustment, these weapons are heavy and powerful weapons that take considerable effort and technique to wield. For their identity we are exploring the idea of all LMGs possessing the accuracy behavior that the Conviction has paved the way for and will balance LMGs, both current and future, in this unique accuracy type. Additionally, we are considering that the huge firepower of this weapons also come at a slight mobility cost when compared to their smaller caliber/capacity siblings. Let us know what you think!

  • MLX Maw
    The Maw is currently overperforming and will receive additional adjustments overtime to bring it down to manageable levels. Between the Identity adjustment and the removal of an upgrade piece, we’ll observe and make adjustments as data comes in.

  • KOTH is back on the menu for Custom Games!
