Rocket League: Competitive Ranking System Guide

Before you can get into a competitive level Rocket League, you need to play ten placement matches. How you play in these games will determine where you start your competitive journey. Don't worry if you drop into a lower level there is still a chance to improve.

You can find yourself in 20 levels. They are

• Not rated
• Bronze I, II and III
• Silver I, II and III
• Or I, II and III
• Zloty XNUMX, XNUMX and XNUMX
• Diamant XNUMX, XNUMX and XNUMX
• Champion XNUMX, XNUMX and XNUMX
• And finally, the highest rank, Grand Champion

There are also four divisions in each level which have a numbered level. If you fall from the first division, you will end up in the fourth division of the previous level. For example, if you continually lose to Gold II, Division I, you will end up in Gold I, Division IV.

Your Matchmaking Rank, or MMR, decides your rank while competing against similar MMR players for the fairest play possible. This is a hidden number that the game gives you based on your wins and losses against the competition you are up against. Whatever the number, decide which rank you are in. Simply winning to increase your MMR, while losing will cause it to drop. If you beat an opponent who has a higher MMR than you, you will gain a bigger boost than if you beat someone with a lower number. Objectives, saves, and other in-game stats don't affect your MMR.

To ensure that not too many people are graded well, the necessary MMR scores constantly change based on the number of people in each level. Starting in Season 13, if you are in a party, MMR groups will be stacked closer to the player with the highest MMR.

At the end of each season, the highest rank you achieve will decide which cosmetics you unlock for your profile. There are eight current competitive modes you can play. They are

• Standard (3v3)
• Double (2v2)
• Solo Duel (1v1)
• Solo Standard (3v3, no games)
• Hoops (2v2, basketball)
• Snow Day (3v3, hockey)
• Dropbox (3v3, break the ground on your opponents' side)
• And Rumble (3v3, each player gets a power every 10 seconds)

Each competitive mode has its own ranking system. If you play your ten matches in 2v2 matches, you will need to play ten matches in 1v1, etc. Some people find that they play better as a team than on their own. If you have friends you like to play with, play games with them or try solos if you're feeling confident.

As you move up through the ranks, you will face stiffer competition. You will have to learn to improve yourself to keep going up. In particular, learn to juggle the ball in the air and use the arena walls to your advantage.
