We're opening up this season with a reversion of the ranking system and a small but important balance patch. Ranks will now use the original star and medal system for the foreseeable future. This shift back is based on community feedback and our own analysis of the new system. While the point system had some interesting upsides and the leaderboards were cool for some players, we felt we rushed the system overall and didn't give it enough clarity of polish. The star system has much more intuitive incremental goals for all players to strive for, and we love hearing how excited players are when they reach a new division. Unfortunately this revert means that, for now, public leaderboards will not be visible. We will be investigating smaller more incremental changes or upgrades to the existing system in the future rather than an overhaul.
