[2020] Final Days Of Closed Beta

/u/pwyff, can you clarify when it says "ALL PROGRESSION WILL BE RESET" does that include ranked and/or hidden MMR? Will it be a hard reset where we need to play 20 unranked again to re-calibrate MMR before doing placements? Or will it be a soft/no reset where we can jump straight into ranked on launch day (using hidden MMR as a starting point for placements)?

Edit: Dev replies below confirming ranked will not be enabled until a few weeks later and unranked MMR will probably NOT be hard reset:

We're not going to be launching WITH ranked, probably turning it on in a few weeks after once everything's stable. Your ranked MMR is going to be reset, but the 20 match requirement isn't.

We'll probably carry over some (maybe all) of your unrated MMR to keep the shark pool from eating the incoming fish.

Thanks for clarifying! Holding off on the ranked launch to let things stabilize makes perfect sense.

Just to be clear, we know ranked placement matches are seeded based on hidden MMR from unranked games, so does the fact that the 20 unranked game requirement is not being reset mean that unranked/hidden MMR is being carried over from the beta (or soft reset)? Or is everyone's unranked/hidden MMR also getting wiped/hard reset as part of this?

So does that mean once ranked is turned on for launch our inital rank after placements is affected by our carried over unranked MMR? Or will unranked MMR have no affect on ranked at launch and only be affected by the 5 placements? If its the former than technically we should all be grinding unranked right now since I would assume most people stopped playing unranked haha.

Not gonna lie that is pretty surprising. Basically means the official launch is more of a loss than a win for a lot of people.

Pretty much, yes, especially since before launch there's a 1 week downtime, so that's several weeks without ranked. Not that it's a huge issue obviously, but on a personal level there's not much hyping me up for release as is, besides the new map. I'm ready to get downvoted into oblivion, but it's just how I feel as a player who cares very little about unranked play (even though I should, I'm way past my prime anyways haha)

I think there is a few more issues which are realy important such as FPS drops and low fps, high ping and a few more but they can be fix fast because before 0.5 version we had a good fps.

A few weeks... Holy shit, lots of players very rarely if ever play unranked. Playing unranked is fun when it’s a new game but now that ranks been out this will no doubt cause a decent chunk of people to stop playing...

Can I just confirm that your unrated MMR is completely separate from your ranked MMR? So if you only ever played enough unrated games to unlock ranked and then played 200 ranked games never playing unrated, you would have two different MMR values and that your unrated is merely a snapshot in time?

u/Pwyff I need confirmation: so anyone who was eligible to get the Valorant drop will get the exclusive player card, or just the people who were eligible for the Valorant drop but didn’t get it?
