Ever wanted to know exactly how your match outcomes and K/D/A affect your Rank Rating (RR)? Here's a handy guide that breaks down how it's calculated!
FAQ
Is it possible to gain RR if you lose?
No. You cannot gain RR in a loss—however, it is possible to gain MMR from a loss. If your MMR is higher than your rank, your RR lost will be reduced.
What if I lose more RR than I gained?
This is often a sign that your rank has advanced beyond your MMR, and you're seeing a negative convergence factor. Your RR gains are decreased because your rank has already surpassed your MMR, and your RR losses are increased because the system is trying to attune your rank back to your MMR. To increase your MMR (and RR gains), you'll need to win more consistently and improve your individual performance.
How do RR Refunds work?
RR Refunds can sometimes be issued if you lose a Competitive match due to a cheater on the enemy team, and we discover/penalize that player. In these instances, you'll receive a popup notification describing what happened and that your lost RR will be restored as a result. But RR Refunds aren't instant! Instead, they're factored into the results of your next Competitive match, so queue up to get that RR back!
