NetEase has revealed that ranks in Rivals will reset not once per season, but technically twice. Similar titles, such as Overwatch and Call of Duty reset ranks at the start of each season, and during Season 0 going into Season 1, Rivals followed suit with that format. Now, the developers state that ranks will reset halfway through each season, and again at the start of each new season moving forward.

While they do state they will tune this new feature if it becomes an issue for fans, players are wondering why they made this decision in the first place, and are quite upset about this revelation.

The "Half Season Rank Reset" will drop players' ranks by four divisions, while the reset at the start of each season will drop players' ranks by six divisions. This means that those who reach Diamond I by the "Half Season Rank Reset" will be dropped down to Platinum II.
