Quick Summary
Quick Answer
Rating inflation continues across the Olden Era ladder. Reaching the Top 200 now requires 3000+ MMR in Single Hero and 2000+ MMR in Classic.
The early-access period when a strong calibration run could quickly put a player near the top of the leaderboard is largely over.
Current Top 200 players have built their positions over many matches, adapting to balance patches and an evolving meta along the way. With rating thresholds continuing to rise, maintaining a leaderboard position now requires considerably more sustained play than during the first month of Early Access.
