Ranked ladders and Seasons have not yet been implemented in-game, however this full feature set is coming. In the meantime, the Quick Match feature calculates your player score (ELO) and uses this information to match you against the best opponent.

Q: I've played a match. Why is my name not on the Leaderboard?
A: You'll need to complete 10 qualifying matches for your initial ELO calculation and placement on the Leaderboard. After you've completed those matches, you should see your name on the Leaderboard.

Q: Does the Leaderboard update instantaneously?
A: No, you may notice a delay of up to an hour.
