What changed for Competitive?

Map Rating evaluates how your proficiency on a given map changes over time with a 0 to 500 rating and C to S letter grade.

• Your rating is based on four primary stats: Overall Win Rate, Attacker Win Rate, Defender Win Rate, and Performance Score.
• Recent matches contribute more to your rating and stats than older matches.
• Other players are not able to see information about your Map Rating.
• Everyone starts fresh with the Map Rating launch - historical match data will not count.

• Performance Score is available in Competitive, Unrated, Swiftplay, and Premier
• Your MVP and Scoreboard position in these modes are now determined by Performance Score

Accolades: Ever wonder how many times you've earned MVP this Act or what your highest kills in a Competitive game were? Accolades have you covered.

• Each Accolade tracks your personal best for the current Act and across your lifetime play.
• Accolade tracking begins with this patch and will reflect on your gameplay going forward.
• Accolades can only be earned in Competitive and Premier modes

Rank Legacy: You can now see how many times you've reached each rank across your Competitive career, like a VALORANT trophy case!

• Each existing rank can increase your Rank Legacy counter once every three Acts (from Acts I-III and Acts IV-VI)
• Demoting into a rank does not increase its counter

Career Page Updates: The Career Page has been given a fresh look and we've added some new pages to support all these features.

• Competitive Hub: Head here from Career to find a snapshot of your Competitive Act, dedicated pages for Accolades and Rank Legacy, and some peeks at what's coming soon.

We're testing MMR changes for modes other than Competitive, Unrated, and Swiftplay. These changes should result in better, more consistent matches. We'll use what we learn to improve Competitive, Unrated, and Swiftplay in the future.
