Reputation Score
We've added reputation to the game. Your reputation will be viewable from your profile, and cannot be viewed by others. You start with a reputation of 8,800.
Playing matchmaking and completing matches increases your reputation.
Leaving a game during the preparation stage or during a game will reduce your reputation.
Leaving During Preparation
Your reputation will take a hit if you leave during the preparation phase in Solos and The Bloodbath, or if you leave in Trios when your team has 3 members.
2) Leaving Games
Your reputation will take a hit if you leave a game before you are not COMPLETELY dead and your teammates are not all dead either.
Deduction coefficient of Reputation Score in different modes
The Herald's Trial (Trio): 1
Quick Match (Trio): 0.75
The Herald's Trial (Solo): 0.5
Quick Match (Solo), The Bloodbath: 0.25
Reputation tiers and their effects are as follows. The player will be banned if the Reputation Score is too low:
A: 9,000-10,000
B: 8,000-9,000
C: 7,000-8,000
D: 6,000-7,000
E: 5,000-6,000
Players with a reputation of less than 7,500 will be unable to queue for The Herald's Trial. Those below 6,000 will furthermore no longer be able to join Quick Match.
We'll be adding more to the reputation system in future iterations, to monitor and restrict gameplay that affects the game negatively to further improve the experience.
