The ladder

Sixteen ranks. Stone to Immortal.

Five tiers of three ranks each, then Immortal on its own. Rating rewards the margin you won by, not just the win, so a 13–2 and a 13–11 are not paid the same.

Every tier has three ranks. Except the last one.

Stone I · II · III 0 – 300 rating

Iron I · II · III 300 – 600 rating

Gold I · II · III 600 – 900 rating

Diamond I · II · III 900 – 1200 rating

Netherite I · II · III 1200 – 1500 rating

Immortal single rank 1500+ rating

Sixteen ranks in total. 100 rating to promote within a tier.

Your margin is part of your reward.

One flat number for every win tells a player their scoreline never mattered. These are bands, and the middle of each is what you set in the config.

Winning+21 → +29A dominant win pays a sixth more than the base; a 13–11 pays a sixth less. Default base is 25. Match MVP adds rating.

Losing−15 → −25A close loss costs a quarter less than the base; a blowout a quarter more. Default base is 20. On the losing side, being your team’s MVP softens the loss.

Win streaks+5 → +20+5 per consecutive win, up to +20. A losing streak works the same way in reverse, at −3 each and capped at −12.

Demotion shield1 lossThe first time you hit zero in a rank, one loss is absorbed. The second time, you go down.

Placement matches×2Your first matches move rating at double rate, so a new player lands near their real level instead of grinding out of Stone.

What a good win actually pays.

Match won 13–9 (close band): +21
Match MVP: +5
Third win in a row: +15
Total: +41

Every one of these numbers comes out of the config file, so you can make your ladder faster or slower without touching code.

A season ends by moving everybody down two.

At season end every player is soft-reset two ranks and has to run their placements again. Gold III opens the next season at Gold I, Diamond I at Gold II, and Immortal at Netherite II. Nobody is reset off the bottom of the ladder.

The placements are the part that matters on day one: you do not open the season sitting at your new rank, you open it re-earning it, which is what keeps an early-season ladder honest.
