117 [RDS-A] DefundedUser_1036628598 Banned 259 posts 5,430 battles Report post #1 Posted May 23, 2020 What are the matchmaking rules and constraints of the current (16th) Ranked season? I asked in the Announcements thread but got no response to date. The new bulletin only yields a bare minimum. Seven ships, max four BBs apparently. The wiki also has no details other than a link to this page from last September, which also has almost no matchmaking specifics. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/ranked-seasons-and-sprints/ But what about the leagues and ranks, for instance? How and when will higher league players be thrown in with lower league ones? Does the matchmaker try to mirror nations like in Randoms? That sort of thing.

How and when will higher league players be thrown in with lower league ones? In Sprint, different leagues will mix (changed to that a couple seasons ago, forget which exactly). In normal Ranked, that never happens. That's why it's usually pretty quick to climb out of 3rd League in normal seasons if you fall back down into it.

There are 3 leagues in the current ranked season. The first cuts off at 11, the second goes from 10-6, and the last one goes from 5-1. Players don't get mixed with one another from different leagues. The MM only mirrors the type of ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are users supposed to infer that from this picture? It might just as well be meant simply to show when you get which insignia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
