Ranked Battles are an opportunity to demonstrate your tactics against opponents. During a Season, tankers hone their skills by trying to place in the highest League before the Season ends for bragging rights and rewards!

One's performance in Ranked Battles earns points towards their ranking, and moving up Leagues is dependent on the amount of points earned.



League-Based Matchmaking

Matchmaker will first attempt to match players in the same league together, followed by surrounding leagues, and finally, with any league based on how long the player has been waiting in the queue.

Same-league matchmaking expires after 90 seconds

Surrounding league matchmaking expires after 120 seconds

Match with any league after 120 seconds



How to Participate

To unlock the mode, you must own a tier III vehicle or higher.

Once unlocked, you will need to complete five preliminary battles to be placed into a League. Once placed, you will then gain access to the "Ladder" tab in the Garage which displays useful information about the current Season, your rankings, and more.

You will also gain access to three Leaderboards:

My League : Displays all players that are in the same League as you.

Displays all players that are in the same League as you. Friends : Displays your friends' rankings; every friend who's participating in active Leagues.

Displays your friends' rankings; every friend who's participating in active Leagues. Clans (Not available if you're not in a Clan) : Displays your Clanmates who are participating in an active League.



Point System

Once you've been placed in a League, you will begin to see how many points you've earned or lost after each Ranked Battle.

There are two types of points: Team Performance and Personal Performance .

Team Performance: To earn Team Performance points, teams will need to win the Ranked Battle match. The amount of Team points that they are eligible to receive is determined by your team's average rank compared to the enemy team's average rank. Two completely equal teams will net 25 points on a victory, -25 on a loss. As the two teams become less evenly matched, this number will lean one way or the other. Better teams are expected to win more, and will receive fewer points for a victory (and lose more for a loss), while lower ranked teams will earn more for a victory (and lose fewer points for a loss). The maximum amount of team points that can be earned or lost is 50.

Personal Performance: Personal Performance points are awarded based on the player's contribution to the match, up to a maximum of 40 points. The player's contribution is determined by comparing their XP to the team's total XP. The higher the percent of contribution, the more personal performance points the player will receive.

The amount of points earned or lost is displayed in the Post Battle Results screen. First, it will calculate the points received for your individual performance, and then the points from your team's performance. Then it displays your current amount of points and how much more is needed to reach the next League.
