Rules

Ranked Arena is the 3v3 solo queue played for rating. Same format as Normal, higher entry bar, better rewards — and a win rate the mode keeps an eye on.

Requirements

• Level 120.
• No active Normal-arena penalty (see the Penalty system below).

Queue times

Ranked opens four times a day, every day, for three hours each:

How a match is decided

• A match is won by the first team to win two rounds.
• A drawn round counts for neither side — nobody is credited and the match carries on.
• Your record is kept in matches, not rounds.

Leaving a match

Leaving or disconnecting before the match ends costs you the loss, counts every remaining round against you, and starts a deserter cooldown: 15 minutes, then 30 minutes, then 1 hour, then 2 hours at most. It resets after 24 hours without deserting.

Penalty system

Ranked checks your record once you have played 20 matches. If your win rate is below 40% at that point:

• Your Ranked wins and losses are reset to 0.
• You are sent back to Normal and locked out of both Ranked and Shuffle until you work your way back.

The way back is Normal Arena wins: 10 the first time it happens, and 10 more for every later removal — 20 the second time, 30 the third, and so on. Losses in Normal do not set you back, and the game tells you how many wins are left whenever you try to queue.

Once you are back in, the check starts over from your next 20 matches.
