Rank (Game Mode)

## Graduation path

Chester • Meta High Student Union President

Extraordinary Ones's rank system is divided into ***8 tiers***, representing a school graduation path and players are matched by a ranking system. Until reaching Uni grade, players can face bots in their matches, but after reaching Uni, they can only fight real players, and must form complete teams of 5 persons each. A High Schooler Student can still fight in matches with superior tiers students, as long as they are in a team with a Uni Student.

- **Kindergarten Students** can pair with **Primary School Students** to play up to **Middle School tier**.

- **Primary School Students** can pair with **Middle School Students** to play up to **High School tier**.

- **Middle School Students** can pair with **High School Students** to play up to **Uni tier**.

- **High School Students** can pair with **Uni Students** to play up to **Grad tier**.

- **Uni Students** can play up to **Faculty Legend** tier.

When the player has full stars, they will be graduated directly to the next tier after a win and receive one star. At zero star, when their diligence is too low, they will fail and be demoted.

Rank match function is only available to new players once they reach level 5 in the game.

### Diligence rules

When a player reaches max diligence points, the system will automatically spend all of the players current points and give the player one star. The diligence point cap will go up as a player graduate up the tiers. When a player is at 0 star and loses a match, if the player's diligence score is higher than or equal to the current diligence protection score, then the system will deduct all of the player's diligence and protect the player from being demoted due to the loss.

Based on a player's score after a match, they will get a post-match grade of *Outstanding*, *Exceptional* or *Good Student*. If the player did not go AFK and credit level >= 2, then they will also get a model student bonus. Outstanding, Exceptional and Good Student's diligent bonus will double in ranked matches above the College level.

## Seasons, rank inheritance and hero ratings

Rank is currently at Season 17. At the beginning of each season, players points and hero rating will be recalculated. Additionally, each season a new skin and dye is featured, and players can get them for free after playing 10 and 50 matches, respectively.

The rank inheritance is calculated as below:

The new season rating of a given hero is calculated by multiplying the player's hero rating by the settlement coefficient, as show in the example:

If the player's hero rating= 18000, then the next season hero rating will be (18000-15000)\*0.2+(15000-10000)\*0.4+(10000-5000)\*0.6+(5000-0)\*0.8=**9600**

Once the player reaches over 20000 rating, the inherited rating will no longer be affected by the hero rating calculations, and their inherited rating will always be 10000 no matter how much rating they get.

## Ban System

A new ban system took place after July 27, 2022. In the old system, 3 players on each team would be random selected to ban a hero, for a total of 6 bans. The ban system is in place only for Uni Students and above, or matches with players of those tiers in both teams. In this system:

* Each player will vote up to 3 heroes that they wish to ban.

* The votes will be sorted and the top 10 heroes will be banned based on those votes.

* If the amount of hero bans exceeds 10 and there is a tie, a hero will be randomly banned.

* If the amount of bans is less than 10, heroes will be randomly banned.

* A pre-ban system has been added. Players can pre-select 3 heroes to ban before a match begins. (This can also be changed during the ban section)

## Season Skin

Each season, a new season skin is released as an award to players who complete 10 ranked matches. That skin dye is also given to the player after 50 matches.
