What the recorded rating system tracks
The recorded game history describes separate ratings for each class and each arena bracket. It also records a starting rating of 1500. Your progress on one class or in one bracket should not be treated as the same ladder entry as another.
Registered account play is required for rating and leaderboard participation in the recorded client. Guest access is useful for exploring, but it should not be presented as rated account progress.
Resets and version context
Version 0.21 recorded a leaderboard reset that returned players to 1500. That is a historical event, not a claim that the live ladder is currently at a particular stage.
Read the current patch notes when comparing ratings across dates. A reset, a balance change or a newly introduced specialization can make two snapshots difficult to compare.
What is not established
An exact rating-gain formula, matchmaking range and public leaderboard API have not been verified for this guide. We do not infer class win rates from a patch note or from a small collection of player comments.
The tier-list page keeps classes unranked until a dated match sample or accessible ladder distribution supports a rating. Use class pages to compare abilities while that evidence is pending.
