Ranked queue going into hibernation is basically the same as the game dying for anyone that wants to play PvP instead of a worse Slay the Spire.
Was fun while it lasted, don't really fault the devs at all, clearly an issue of upper management.

Sorry for the confusion, but just to clarify, ranked standard and eternal queues will still be up - its the gauntlet and tournament systems that will go into hibernation.
Ranked seasons will be smaller in scope, but you'll still be able to play in those queues while we figure out a steady state for those modes.
It's worse than I thought. The competitive community is getting casual standard and eternal, and some vague promise about a different implementation of ranked ladder. No gauntlet or Runeterra open going forward is terrible.
Hey there, we'll be keeping both Ranked Standard and Ranked Eternal queues up indefinitely while we set up new systems that will allow us to automate more manual processes thus far. Our expectation is that we'll continue alternation between the formats to give players periods of focus. The current ranked season will end as scheduled and provide rewards, but after that, we'll be tightening our team's focus to keep what's most engaging about those modes, while cutting down on the parts that require higher amounts of time with limited player benefit.
But yes, unfortunately, we won't be supporting gauntlets or Runeterra Opens going forward.
