Auto / Patch deskDeadlock Ranked Beta Season 2 begins with reset changes
Deadlock’s Ranked Beta Season 2 began November 5, with a smaller rank reset alongside a global redistribution. Ranked hero access and leaderboard eligibility have also changed.
Existing ranked players keep their calibration status; players who skipped the prior season must calibrate. The reset averages about one badge down, with prior win rate affecting placement.
Phantom, Ascendant, and Eternus players no longer receive rank-loss shields.
Ranked matches allow four hero bans rather than three.
A hero requires 35 points to unlock for Ranked, earning two for a win and one for a loss.
