What is RIP？

RIP (Rankers Incite Points) are a unique system of determining a player's true skill. In this game, it is measured for each character. You gain or lose RIP depending on your victories and losses in Ranked Matches. The system is designed so that matches between players with similar RIP have greater influence on each player's RIP.
