When you first get started with ranked mode in Arenas, you will be required to play ten placement matches in order to gauge your initial matchmaking rating (MMR) and rank.

How do the Apex Legends Arenas ranks work? By winning these matches, more Arenas Points (AP) will be awarded for wins and less deducted for losses, bringing you closer to your true rank much more quickly.Ĭonversely, if you lose these matches, your MMR will begin to drop until you’re matched with players more on your level. The example the studio gives is that if you are Silver rank, but are playing at a Platinum level, the system will match you with Platinum MMR players. Respawn says that having two different measures of skill is important to ensuring the quality of games remains as high as possible, as MMR can be quickly adjusted up or down based on your performance, “without making you lose your rank just because of a few bad matches.” Meanwhile, your rank is simply the visible skill rating you see on-screen.

At the moment, you get +100 AP for a win and -50 AP for a loss, but these figures might have changed for Season 10.Īpex Legends Arenas’ matchmaking rating (MMR) is a hidden score which ultimately determines who you are matched against in-game.
