Ever wondered why you sometimes win and your rank barely changes, or lose and drop more than expected in Rocket League? The answer is MMR, or Matchmaking Rating. It is a hidden number that decides who you play against and how your rank changes. Understanding it can help you climb faster and play smarter.
What is MMR in Rocket League?
MMR is a representation of your skill level in each playlist. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and extra modes. Winning a match increases your MMR; losing decreases it. Your visible rank, like Bronze, Gold, Platinum, or Supersonic Legend, is just a reflection of your MMR. Each rank has a range, but moving up gets tougher as you go higher.
How Matchmaking Works
Rocket League pairs you with players who have similar MMR, not necessarily the same visible rank. That’s why you sometimes face opponents who seem too easy or too hard. What matters most is your performance in each match. Focus on consistent improvement instead of obsessing over your rank.
Rank | Division Range (Approx.) | MMR Range* |
|---|---|---|
Bronze I – III | Div I–IV | 0 – 399 |
Silver I – III | Div I–IV | 400 – 599 |
Gold I – III | Div I–IV | 600 – 799 |
Platinum I – III | Div I–IV | 800 – 999 |
Diamond I – III | Div I–IV | 1000 – 1199 |
Champion I – III | Div I–IV | 1200 – 1399 |
Grand Champion I–III | Div I–IV | 1400 – 1799 |
Supersonic Legend | Single Tier | 1800+ |
Your MMR only tracks how you perform compared to others. Avoid playing when tired or frustrated. Focus on small, steady improvements, such as positioning, boost management, and accurate hits. These habits raise your MMR over time, even if your rank does not jump immediately.
Some playlists reduce MMR if you stay inactive for too long. Playing regularly keeps your rating accurate and ensures you face opponents that match your skill.
