More about the ranked mode

  • you will gain and lose ranked points by winning and losing of course - but a lot of parameters will be taken into a count, for example if guards won and 7/8 prisoners escaped, the guards will gain less RR and prisoners will lose less RR.

  • Players who leave a match will lose a lot of additional RR together with a penalty to queue.

  • Some of the additional performance meters that are used: Arrests(guards), Times arrested(Prisoners), Escaped(Prisoners), general activities and more!
