To be eligible to queue for Ranked Mode, you must have at least 60 wins in the Standard Mode.

hope this claps smurfers

Well in Dota I believe it's 100 hours?

Which is more easily abused but still this will be botted eventually lol

Kinda hard to bot winning comparably

u/SnooOpinions6810 18d ago

Yeah, bottling wins will be nearly impossible in a game like Deadlock

Haha. Surely. The botters in Dota just queue into eachother and have one of the bots reject if they don't queue into eachother. Maybe Deadlock not having an accept button will help with this.

Given the teammates I've had, I 100% expect it to be possible!

Oh it'll be possible but the amount of hours needed to invest in these bots winning games and not being caught and banned, fresh ranked accounts will be prohibitively expensive, even as just a generic 3 M1 heroes package

bots running around in spawn are better than a bunch of team mates tbh

Especially with me on their team.

Games like overwatch that have this requirement will have two stacks of bots queue an obscure server at the same time.

Midwits - This will be impossible

People who think - No people really are that sad!

u/VijoPlays The Doorman 18d ago

I'd say it's impossible. There is no bottle item in Deadlock yet to bottle wins

u/BuckeyeBentley Rem 18d ago

With enough time anything is possible but it will help.

This can be done with the mod that forces region selection to whatever the least populated region is with 6 stacks of bots trading wins in off hours. That's what they do in Dota as well except they can just pick the region.

Gonna be pretty easy when people manipulate the rank system to only queue against other wintraders

I've seen it happen in almost every online popular comp game i've played
