Ranked is a competitive Gamemode in Heroes Battlegrounds that allows you to fight players at a similar skill level as you. To join ranked, click the crossing swords icon on the top left of your screen. When joining, you will be teleported to the ranked lobby. When joining the lobby, there will be two matchmaking boxes to choose from; the 1v1 box or 2v2 box.
1v1
On the 1v1 platform of the ranked lobby, you get matched against whichever person is also standing on the platform that has a ranked level most similar to your own. After the queue, you and your opponent will spawn in the arena. There will be a brief period in which you are prohibited from moving or using attacks. During this grace period, you can and your opponent have the option of changing characters. Then after a few seconds, the match begins. The match ends when either you or your opponent have died two times.
2v2
On the 2v2 platform of the ranked lobby, you will be teamed up with whoever standing is also standing on the platform that has a ranked level most similar to your own. Two more people standing on this platform will be matched together by the same principle. (Alternatively, you could send a request for a specific player to be your teammate. If they accept this request, both you and your requested teammate will teleport onto the 2v2s platform and begin queueing). These two are to be your opponents. Both teams will spawn in the arena. During this you and your teammate can change characters. Then after a few seconds, the match begins. The match ends after every player of at least one team has died two times.
