At the end of the season, players with the highest rank will determine the inherited rank, gold and above will be dropped, and players with king rank will have the opportunity to receive epic annual skins for free.
Inheritance is determined based on the current rank. At the end of the s21 season, the player's rank will be inherited based on the highest rank at the end of the season.
For example, if a player reaches a maximum of 50 Stars in the S21 season, but reaches 20 Stars at the end of the season, the inherited rank will be 20 Stars. This means that more points are needed at the end of the season to obtain end-of-season rewards and avoid being dropped to a lower rank in the new season.
Ranks above Gold will be downgraded, while lower ranks such as Bronze and Silver will not be affected by the season update and will not change.
However, gold and above levels will start to drop levels, and the higher the level, the more levels will drop.
For example, the gold rank may only drop a few ranks, while the king rank may drop to star or even diamond.
Although the highest rank is no longer used to inherit or obtain diamonds, players who reach the king each season can receive the epic annual skin for free, because a competition year includes four seasons.
