rank reset?
Does your rank reset every act or just every episode? Is it just every act it does that little 1 placement game where it puts u in the same rank and every episode it fully resets?

In VALORANT, ranks are affected both at the end of Acts and Episodes, but differently:
1. Every Act (roughly every 2 months): Your rank undergoes a "soft reset," where you play one placement match at the start of the new Act. This placement match recalibrates your rank, often placing you around the same rank where you ended the last Act, but your Match Making Rating (MMR) is considered for the adjustment.
2. Every Episode (roughly every 6 months): There is a more significant reset. You will need to play a series of placement matches (usually 5) to get your rank for the new Episode. Your previous rank and MMR still influence your new rank, but the reset is more severe compared to the soft reset between Acts. This could mean more variance in rank placements at the start of a new Episode.
