Changes to Ranked Play Skill Ratings
Aside from the Free Access event that will last for two weeks, "Call of Duty: Vanguard" fans should also take note of the changes made to the Skill Rating system of the competitive Ranked Play mode.
According to a separate GameSpot report, "As of March 28, Treyarch said that players' Skill Rating gains and losses should be more consistent."
Specifically, the changes to the system will make it possible for players to earn more to their Skill Rating after winning. On the flipside, those who lose will lose less when it comes to their Skill Rating.
Treyarch likewise said that game performance will also have less impact on the Skill Rating regardless if the player loses or wins.
Developer Lawrence Metten also posted a thread on his Twitter account explain how Skill Rating is calculated in Ranked Play. You can view the Twitter thread below:
With today’s update, I think it’d be helpful to explain how our SR system works (🧵)

Your SR is a visible representation of your Ranked Play skill, but behind the scenes we track a Hidden Performance Range for each player that drives SR. Let’s call this hidden range “HPR”.
It can be recalled that Ranked Play came with "Call of Duty: Vanguard's" Season 2 update. This game mode allows players to compete in matches that involve the same maps and rules that are being used in "Call of Duty League."
"Players start in Ranked Play by participating in five placement matches to determine their initial Skill Rating, which is a number that determines a player's skill level within a specific Ranked Play season," GameSpot explains.
