Guides for climbing

How ranks, points and rewards work in the games we play, checked against official notes and wikis. Written by our team, with sources at the end of each guide.

How we write these

Every guide is checked against the game's own patch notes, support pages and the main community wikis, and lists the sources it used at the end. When a number changes every season, the guide says which season it is from; when we could not confirm a number, we explain how the system works instead of guessing. Guides are dated and updated when a season changes. They never quote our own order numbers or results.
