How does rank reset work in Valorant?
In Valorant, when a new ranked season (Act) starts, your rank doesn't just disappear but undergoes a 'soft reset'. This means you won't start from scratch but will need to play a few placement matches to show your current skill level. Your performance in these matches will decide your starting rank for the new season, usually placing you near your previous season's rank unless you've vastly improved or slumped.

Just play 5 placement matches at the start of each Act. If you're sick like me, you'll probably end up higher than where you left off last season. EZ.
Rank resets in Valorant are a myth. You play, you get placed, and that鈥檚 it. Don鈥檛 overthink it.
