Fewer shields,more points
Season 1 is over and Season 2 is live until March 11. A win is worth more, ranking up costs less, and the top ranks lose their safety net.

2 points a win, 1 a loss. At a 50% win rate that is about 24 games instead of 30.
The reset
Where you start, and the new leaderboardsA soft reset: on average about one badge down, then one or two sub-ranks up or down depending on your Season 1 win rate. If you played ranked last season you skip calibration.
Before that, everyone's rank is redistributed to fit the new players who arrived this season, so some players will start Season 2 higher than they ended Season 1.
Every season now has its own leaderboard. To appear you need 50 ranked matches in the last 30 days; for a hero's board, 15 with that hero.
Season 1 players get a Hideout plaque with the highest rank they reached.
