Heads up. Some big changes are coming to ranked matchmaking in the next update. We heard from many of you that you wanted a place where you could experiment with different strategies or just play more casually in general without worrying about risking your hard-earned rank. So we've made the ground-breaking design decision to have two ways of playing; Casual and Ranked. Let's break them down:

In Casual:

You will be matched against opponents of your same skill level.
You can queue up solo or with friends.
This is where you experiment with new builds, or complete those elusive challenges.
Daily Challenges and Achievements can be earned.

In Ranked:

You can only queue up solo, and your Rank (Enforcer I, Upstart III, etc) is used to find opponents.
New players will need to unlock ranked mode by playing 5 casual games. (Don't worry, accounts with at least one Multiplayer game will be grandfathered in.)
Daily Challenges and Achievements can be earned.

We also received a lot of feedback from players who were (rightly) confused trying to understand the relationship between rank promotions and demotions and their performance in the preceding match. We've completely redesigned how the numbers work under the hood. Actually, we've removed the hood; your Rank is now a number you can see that moves up and down in a predictable way. This change is based solely on where you finish in a Ranked match and does not depend on your opponents' Rank. Any time you reach the next minor Rank, we also grant you bonus points. And just like before, once you obtain a major Rank, it's locked in and you cannot drop to a lower major Rank.

In this next update, your current Rank will be converted to the new system. The Lords of White Spire will be set to Big Boss V and the leaderboard will be cleared. The Ranked system serves two design goals that are fundamentally in tension: some players want the system to measure progress, while others want it to be a clear, objective measurement of skill.We hope that this new more transparent design will strike a better balance between these goals. But like all things Underlords, nothing is final and we'll continue to iterate on this and other features based on your feedback.

WHITE SPIRE AWAITS A LEADER...
A vertical metropolis of gambling and grit, just beyond the reach of Stonehall and Revtel; White Spire is known as a smugglers' paradise with loose morals and colorful residents to spare. Despite being overrun with syndicates, gangs, and secret societies, White Spire has never descended into chaos for one reason: Momma Eeb. She was respected... she was loved... and unfortunately, she was murdered last week.

Eeb’s death has sent one question rippling through White Spire's underworld: who is going to run the city?
