After three long years of Rainbow Six Siege ranked play carrying a beta tag, Ubisoft has today announced that ranked mode is finally ready to ditch the training wheels. Announced amid a sweeping list of quality of life improvements, Ubisoft has taken the decision to fully launch ranked play after making a number of crucial changes to it that they believe make it ready for final release.
Those changes include the addition of pick and ban to ranked and a higher entry level cap from 20 to 30. It also looks as if Rainbow Six Siege players will be able to see a lot more information about their MMR and the average MMR across the different ranked levels, plus the announcement that MMR roll back will be taking place going forward ensures there is less incentive for hackers and booster in ranked, too.
Ranked play is not the only side of the game getting significant changes, as Ubisoft has also announced that casual play is getting a few tweaks such as players being able to choose the site they want to defend.
