Deadlock developers updated rules for the Second Ranked Season.

Rank Loss Protection (Shields): Players within the Phantom, Ascendant, and Eternus ranks will no longer have any rank loss protection shields (previously 5 on full ranks and 2 on subranks).

For all other players, we have reduced the number of rank loss protection shields. For full rank boundary, the shield count is reduced from 5 to 3 (i.e. if you are at Mystic I with 0 rank points, you will now maintain the Mystic badge for only 3 losses before dropping to Sentinel instead of 5). For subranks (i.e. Mystic III → Mystic II), the shield count is reduced from 2 to 1.

Rank Points: Per Match: The points for a game has been increased from 300 to 350.

Ranking Up: The points required to reach a new badge from a final subrank have been decreased from 2000 to 1500. The points between subranks remain unchanged at 1000.

Hero Bans: We have increased the number of hero bans per match in Ranked from 3 to 4.

Initial Placements: The highest players can be placed in the new season will be Ascendant I, with some potential for up to Ascendant III based on performance in the previous season (up from Oracle VI max last season).

Hero Unlocking Requirements: We still feel strongly that it is very important that players in Ranked have deep knowledge and confidence piloting a hero they are using for the sake of all players involved, however we also recognize that there is room for improvement in how we measure this. Unlocking a hero in Ranked now uses a point system, rather than only progressing based on wins. Unlocking a hero now requires 35 points, you will gain 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss. With the previous 15 win system (assuming 50% WR), it would have required an equivalent of 45 points (15 wins = 30 points, 15 losses = 15 points, 30+15=45).
