Win streaks also come into play, so if you're on a seven-star bonus and happen to be on a win streak, your star bonus doubles to 14 stars for a win. For example, if you finished in Platinum 5 last season, you begin the new season with a seven-star bonus, so your first win places you in Bronze 8. This means you can climb out of the lower ranks much faster at the beginning of the month, as you accumulate wins. If you reach one of the higher leagues, your star bonus will be higher, as listed above. You gain stars by winning matches and lose one star per defeat. There are three stars in each rank between Bronze and Diamond. Here are the minimal initial star bonuses by rank: Star bonuses are active from the first day of the new season and vary depending on the rank you reached in the previous month. Hearthstone Ranked star bonuses and streaksĪt the start of each month, all player ranks are reset to the lowest rank (Bronze 10) to begin a fresh ladder climb with a star bonus. Matchmaking is decided by MMR to ensure that matches are as fair as possible. This stops you from deranking too far and losing your laborious progress on the ladder. Once you reach these levels, you cannot drop below them again until the rank is reset at the beginning of the following month. Each of the five leagues has two rank floors, spaced at ranks 10 and 5.
