Rainbow Six Siege Ranked 2.0: MMR changes, new Emerald rank, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Rainbow Six Siege will be bringing huge changes to the competitive play for the tactical shooter. Operation Solar Raid is set to arrive on December 6, 2022, with a variety of changes that will tweak some important aspects of the title. The upcoming expansion will also add a new map to the pool along with a Colombian Operator.

Ubisoft has decided to change the Ranked game mode as Operation Solar Raid will completely overhaul the competitive play with the introduction of Ranked 2.0. The developers are trying to make the system fairer for the players.

This article will provide all the information that one needs to know before starting the rank queue in Rainbow Six Siege Operation Solar Raid

One of the biggest changes in the Ranked queue is the removal of the MMR. The rank itself will no longer be decided by a player’s MMR. Instead, it will be decided by how many Rank Points they win or lose after a match.

Each rank will now have five divisions. Each division requires 100 Rank Points to advance to the next. Furthermore, the MMR being split from the rank will be called Skill. Since MMR will no longer determine a player's rank, it will determine how quickly one ranks up.

The Skill will be a hidden value for every single playlist that will be carried over with each season. With that, there will be no more placement matches for Ranked games because the skill rating does not reset when the rank does.

Ubisoft has also decided to remove the MMR restriction in Rainbow Six Siege. This means players can party up with friends without being afraid of rank disparity. This is because of a new algorithm that will adapt matchmaking regardless of the variation in skill among the players.

The MMR adjustment and reset system will now affect the Rank
