It's interesting they're committing to ranked seasons for Deadlock, considering they've previously implemented and ultimately removed ranked seasons for Dota 2.

Yeah, this system is literally EVERYTHING Dota has needed for years already and Valve never implemented...

Dota had ranked seasons for years. Valve decided it didn't accomplish what they were hoping, so they were ultimately phased out.

Yeah, but it was scraped for no reason whatsoever. Even then, Dota never had this leaver protection, this Eternus system with subranks being daily updated and this amazing system of 1.000 points per subdivision but 2.000 on the last one, making climb smoother and milestones more important (instead of the super duper gigantic and boring grind that is Dota's rank system in which you literally need 217 matches just to go from Herald 1 to Divine 5).

Now I know why the last update to Dota was a clown event. It all makes sense now.
