Series 4 Ranked Splits
I am very curious as to how they are going about the ranked system this new series. From what they have told us, there are 2 splits and there is a soft reset between the splits when the change is made from World's Edge to King's Canyon. What I want to know is, what does this reset do exactly? Is it the same as an end of season reset? For example: If I end Split 1 in Top 500 Apex Predator, will I be rest to Platinum 2 like normal, or will it reset me to say Diamond 2 instead? Or maybe they are deducting a set RP to balance it out. I don't know how this is going to work because if you grind Split 1, only for the game to put you back down to Platinum 2 in Split 2, it seems pointless grinding the first split. Obviously I doubt that's how they would do it but I'm curious as to what other people think/know is going to happen.
From the horses mouth 😃

Splits
we have been looking at engagement on the ranked ladder
Ranked rewards will be granted for the highest tier achieved in either split of the series, but exclusive animated badges will be granted if you can make it to the same tier both splits.
soft reset
At the start of Series 3 everyone will be soft reset on their ranked position by 1.5 Tiers down. That means if you ended Season 3 in Gold II, you’ll be reset to Silver IV. Players in Platinum IV will be reset to Silver II, and Apex Predators will be reset to Platinum II. This reset will now occur at each split as well.
