Deadlock Reworked Ranked System Ahead of Season 2

Valve has overhauled Deadlock's ranked system ahead of Season 2. Players can now earn up to 350 rating points per match (up from 300), and advancing to a new rank requires 1,500 points instead of 2,000. Demotion protection has been removed entirely for Phantom, Ascendant, and Eternus ranks, and reduced for lower ranks. Hero bans increased from 3 to 4, and the maximum calibration rank is now Ascendant I, with some players placed directly at Ascendant III. Additionally, hero eligibility for ranked play now requires 35 points rather than 15 wins; a win grants 2 points and a loss grants 1.
