Will Adepts work the same as before?

Before SBMM I've been trying to achieve adept on every killer, and if I'm correct based on your rank you were given more strict requirements for adept. But now that ranks are now grades will this mean adepts will work the same since everyone gets reset to grade 20 or ash. Will this mean I can achieve adepts easier? I'm confused and hope some clarification can be made since I really want to 100% this game.
