Good morning everyone! Some of you have probably been curious as to what's changed, or been added and I'm here to share that.
Ranked Shop:
1500 Ranked Tokens- Iron Leaves
- Iron Boulder
- Iron Crown
- PP Up
- PP Max
ELO System Revamp (Showdown-Inspired)
The OU and UU ranked ladders have been completely overhauled. The old flat reward structure unintentionally rewarded grinding over skill that changes now.
The new system uses a transparent, point-based rating (K=30) that scales based on opponent ELO.- Beating a much weaker opponent: +1 to +3 points
- Beating a similarly rated opponent: +8 to +15 points
- Pulling off a major upset: +15 to +29 points
Rating floor is set at 750 you cannot drop below this.
Rated Decay (Monthly Ladder Only)
To keep the ladder active and prevent players from camping their rating, weekly decay has been implemented on the Monthly Ladder. This does not affect All-Time ratings.
- Days 1–7 inactive: No decay (grace period)
- Day 8+ inactive (rating must be above 1200 to be affected):
Playing even one ranked match immediately stops decay and resets your inactivity timer.
Penalty/DC Rewards.
Many of you were experiencing DC's and being upset with the following message.. > "[SYS] You will not get any tokens in this battle because battle ended under 20 seconds."This is no longer the case we've updated it, Opponents DC on Preview will receive a penalty that stacks and you will receive this message instead.
> "[SYS] Your opponent disconnected. You have been awarded +3 Rating and 1 Ranked Token."
Penalty timeouts will follow in this sequence
> 1,2,3,5,10,15 Minutes.
