Unravelling the Rocket League Ranks and Ranking System

Rocket League, developed and published by Psyonix, is an engaging vehicular soccer video game enjoyed by players worldwide. Central to the game's competitive nature is its ranking system. Understanding Rocket League’s ranks and ranking system can be a game-changer for those seeking to ascend the competitive ladder. This blog post aims to demystify this system, allowing players to better understand how it works and what it takes to climb up in ranks.

The Ranks:

Rocket League’s ranking system consists of several tiers, each representing a specific level of gameplay skill. The ranks are as follows, in ascending order:

Unranked

• Bronze I, II, III
• Silver I, II, III
• Gold I, II, III
• Platinum I, II, III
• Diamond I, II, III
• Champion I, II, III
• Grand Champion I, II, III
• Supersonic Legend

Each rank (from Bronze to Supersonic Legend) is further divided into four divisions (Division I, II, III, IV), with Division IV being the highest. As players win matches, they progress from Division I to IV, and upon reaching Division IV, they ascend to the next rank.

The Ranking System:

Rocket League uses a hidden points system known as MMR (MatchMaking Rating) to determine a player's ability and place them into an appropriate rank. Players earn or lose MMR based on match outcomes, and the amount earned or lost is influenced by several factors, such as the MMR of opponents and whether players are on a win or loss streak.

Promotion and Demotion:

To get promoted to a higher division or rank, players must increase their MMR by winning matches. Once a player's MMR surpasses the threshold of their current division, they are promoted to the next division. The same principle applies to ascending in ranks. Conversely, if a player's MMR drops below the current division's threshold due to match losses, they will be demoted to the division below.

Season Rewards:

In Rocket League, each competitive season ends with players receiving unique rewards, often in the form of cosmetic items that cannot be traded. These season rewards are determined by the highest rank achieved and the number of wins at that rank.

Wrap Up:

Understanding the Rocket League ranking system is crucial to advancing in the competitive scene of the game. Success requires a blend of skill, teamwork, strategy, and a deep comprehension of how the ranking system operates. While the journey up the ladder can be challenging, knowing how the system works is the first step toward improving your game and making progress on your Rocket League journey.

May your rockets fly true, and your league rank soar!
