With the long-awaited official launch of Season 1 for Heroes of the Storm, a Spotlight video has been released to highlight and clarify changes to the new ranking system and its rules. The video also gets everyone hyped about end-season rewards. The community has been eagerly waiting for this launch since its announcement following that super secret meeting held at Blizzard HQ in May.

The video touches on the new ranking structure, how placement matches will go, and what happens to players who don’t know how to type politely. 

The new ranking system is expected to reduce queue times, increase placement accuracy, and offer high skill cap players better recognition in their regions. Additionally, this ranking system should allow players to retire (or sell on craigslist, tsk tsk) any spam accounts they may have created.
