- Top 30: 20
- Top 20: 30
- Top 10: 40
- Top 5: 50
This adjustment will help Placement Milestone SR feel more rewarding throughout the match without diminishing the personal and team play required to earn the highest amount of SR earned from top placements. Please note Placement Milestones not listed above remain unchanged.
