'''Ranked mode''' is a game mode in Deadlock for competitive players to compete with other players of similar skill levels. By winning matches and performing well, players can earn badges for their profile depending on the highest rank they achieve.

Ranked mode was first added to the game on {{Update link|October|10|2024}}, replaced by the [[Skill Rating]] system on {{Update link|November|21|2024}}, and re-introduced on {{Update link|July|30|2026}}.

The first ranked season, called '''Beta Season 1''', started in July 30, 2026 and will end in October 7, 2026.

== Overview ==

~~The rank badge~~ can ~~be found by viewing the profile. The~~ ranks ~~of other players can also be viewed in the pre-game screen,~~ and ~~during~~ the ~~game~~ in the ~~main~~ menu.

Players can view their ranks and the leaderboards in the rank menu in the [[Hideout]].

=== Requirements ===

Players need the following requirements to play ranked mode:

* 60 standard games total

Players also cannot queue for ranked if they have any matchmaking restrictions or bans, and cannot queue in parties of more than 2 players. Players in a party can only be up to 1 rank apart, and in Eternus they have to be up to 3 subranks apart.

=== Rank Points ===

Players will win or lose around 250 rank points for each match, slightly adjusted based on matchmaking and performance.

Ranking up a subrank requires 1000 points, and ranking up to the next rank requires 2000 points. The exception is Eternus, in which the rank requirements per subrank are instead percentile-based.

Upon reaching the lowest threshold in a subrank, the player has 2 matches of rank protection before ranking down. Before going down a full rank, they have 5 matches of rank protection.

=== Pre-Match phase ===

During the pre-match phase, players have 30 seconds to switch lanes, and/or change to a different hero that they have queued for. Each player can only change heroes once. Players can't see if the enemy team has changed heroes. If a player tries to change to a hero that another player in either team has already picked, that hero will be unavailable for them.

=== Abandons ===

If a player abandons a match before 5 minutes, the match becomes unscored and safe to leave for all players except for the leaver and their duo.

If they abandon after 5 minutes, the match becomes unscored and safe to leave only for the leaver's team, unless they manage to win. If all players on that team leave, the match ends and the enemy team wins. If a player on the enemy team also leaves, the same rules apply to that team (the match is unscored unless the team wins).

=== Leaderboards ===

The Global leaderboard showcases the top 1,000 Deadlock players per region, as well as up to 3 of their highest-rated heroes. Hero leaderboards showcase the top 1.000 players of each hero available in Normal mode, per region.

A player needs to have played a minimum of 75 matches in the past 30 days to appear in the global leaderboard, and a minimum of 30 matches with a specific hero in the past 30 days to appear in that hero's leaderboard.

The leaderboard regions are North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
