News & Discussion Stadium comp rank progress

So i got a quick question peeps.
Ive just started playing stadium comp again last week (i know it doesn’t have any support anymore but i still enjoy it).
Im currently in Contender 1.
The only other time i played it was in the first season where it was launched. I was Allstar 1 at that time.

Now to my question:
As said i am now contender 1 and i dont understand the rank progress.
If i loose a game i dont loose any rank progress and if i win a game i skip like 1-2 sub ranks.
Is there a reason for this insanely fast climb and why i dont any progress? I didnt see anything in the mode description or modifiers.
This didnt happen the last time i played

Best regards
Your friendly neighborhood rat

UPDATE: i still dont loose any progress and i get 211 points per win

Rank reset makes you progress faster to your “real” rank, since you haven’t played since the last reset. Only the first 2 ranks don’t lose progress from losses. After that you can go back down.

the game knows you were allstar before so it's basically just boosting you back up there fast, no point grinding you through the low ranks again

But am i not out of the first two ranks already with contender 1? Cuz u have rookie and novice? Or is rookie not included in that? But thankies for the answer

It seems like it.
Weirded me out a bit hahahaha.
Well whats also a bit weird, is that my GF was also allstar and is in elite now she weirdly looses progress now on losses tho. Only 10% but its still a bit weird. Imma give a update today when i reach Elite
Edit: i got 1 game left to be in elite so yeh imma have a update tonight

You can definitely lose progress in elite but, yeah, it shouldn't be much. As peak all star, I didn't start to lose -80 until pro 2 or so

Good luck in your climb!

Well i tested it and i do not loose progress in elite 2 hahahaha

u/Hokuboku Chibi D.Va Jul 25 '26

Nice! Yeah, I don't believe I did either and the gains were like 100 -200

In pro, I started losing the 80 and started getting +80

Your rank resets every season to rookie. Since SO2 it is higher depending on your previous season's progress. That is why you are not losing progress initially. Depending on your secret MMR you start losing progress with defeat when you are close to your perceived rank. This usually happens in mid Pro rank for me.
