How Did the Ranked Battle System Change?
Read the Official Announcement for full details. A list of the major points is below:
-
Archon level caps and penalties for low-level cards have been removed.
Advancing leagues is no longer optional.
Players will be matched against others with similar ratings even if they are in different leagues.
There will be a single SPS reward pool for Modern and a single SPS reward pool for Wild.
Both Modern and Wild SPS rewards have been collapsed into a single pool per gameplay type, rather than pools separated by each League.
Players will get +20 for wins, -20 for losses, and +40 for win streak bonuses (Champion exempt).
See Energy System FAQ for the updated energy costs.
The Mana Cap for Wood and Bronze has been increased to 50.
Rating for the reward shares calculation is now capped at 5,000 rating.
The rating reset for leagues has been adjusted to be divisible by 20, and Bronze III now starts at 260 rating.
Champion is the only league able to compete for spots on the leaderboard.
Players above a 3700 rating can now be matched with any other player above 3700, if enough time has passed.
The Rewards Shop and Glint have been added!

What Might the Experience Be Like?
While the changes take effect, which may take a season or two, players may experience many wins or losses while players move to the appropriate ratings. You can always rent cards to increase the competitiveness of your deck.
