Rank
Rank (Japanese: ウデマエ udemae) is a progress indicator in Splatoon alongside Level. Ranks go from C- to S+.[1]
Ranking
Players begin at rank C-.
Winning in Ranked Battles grants Battle Points based on the player's current rank. Achieving 100 points in any rank will allow for a rank up. However, dropping strictly below (but not exactly to) 0 points on a rank will drop the rank by one.
Upon gaining a rank, the player is started at 30 points and, conversely, when losing a rank, the player is dropped to 70 points of that rank.
When a team starts with three players or less and loses, they will each lose only 1 point.
Normally, matches award a base amount of points per win and loss (±10 above B-). These numbers can be changed depending on the average level of each team in a match. A team with a higher average rank than their opponents will be given less reward if they win or more punishment if they lose. A team with a lower average rank will be given more reward if they win or less punishment if they lose. The values are ±10±2 or ±10±4 depending on the magnitude of the difference. A team of 4 A+'s vs an A+ and 3 A-'s, or 4 B+s vs an A+ and 3 B+s, will receive scores of ±10±2.
Unlike the player's level, ranks currently do not serve a purpose other than bragging rights and earning more money.
The highest a player can get is at rank A+ with 99 points, at which point the text showing the rank will switch color from white to golden. The August 6th update will add S and S+ rank to the ranking system, which means players can reach rank S+ with 99 points.
