Season 0 Spring Split

• Soft Reset
  • There will be a Soft Reset of player Skill Rating in OB9
  • This soft reset will be as follows:
    • > 4,000 SR (Obsidian 2) -> Reset to 4,000 SR (Obsidian 2)
    • 3,400 SR to 4,000 SR -> Reset to 3,400 SR (Diamond 2)
    • 2,800 SR to 3,400 SR -> Reset to 2,800 SR (Platinum 2)
    • < 2,800 SR -> No Reset
  • This reset is intended to shake up the top end of the leaderboard, and allow player Skill Rating to more accurately reflect recent matchmaking changes
• Skill Rating Update
  • In OB9, there have been changes to the manner in which SR is calculated
    • Less aggressive adjustments at the start of a players Ranked career
    • Adjustments to limit SR inflation
    • More consistent adjustments match to match (less variability in +/- SR)
  • In an upcoming update there will be further changes made to the SR algorithm, mainly to more accurately take into account a players current SR in regards to the average SR of the Lobby when making adjustments
• Rewards
  • Given limitations in regards to the development of Ranked Rewards, Season 0 Winter Split rewards will be granted in the following patch (OB10)
  • There will be two main rewards handed out:
    • Ranked Border
      • This reward will be based on a players maximum recorded SR at any point during the Winter Split
      • All players who achieved at least Silver Rank in the Winter Split will receive this reward in OB10
    • Ranked Titles
      • The “Deity” (Season 0 Winter Split) title will be granted to the Top 100 players when servers go down for maintenance before the release of OB9 (the morning of May 5th) 
      • The “Demigod” Title will be granted to all players who reached 5,000 SR at any point during the Winter Split
      • The “Speedrunner” Title will be granted to the 10 players who most quickly reached demigod during the Winter Split

The goal of the upcoming XP and Gold changes is to try to realign the pacing of the two systems together while also addressing some of the feedback we received from the community.

In summary, players will level slightly slower but gain gold slightly faster.

That means reaching level 20 takes a few more minutes, but the time it takes to reach full build has been reduced.
