Tier Divisions represent the same skill levels as SR, but they give players a higher-level view of where they’re placed in Competitive. As you progress through each tier, your division will count down until you rank up to the next tier.
Each tier will have five divisions ranking from 5 (lowest) to 1 (highest). Tiers still exist in Competitive-Bronze through Grand Master. It was a lot of pressure, and it doesn’t give players an accurate representation of how they’re performing overall in Competitive. Seeing your SR go up and down after each match almost felt like taking a test with the teacher passing or failing you based on each individual question rather than your complete work. We made the decision to remove SR as a numeric value to relieve the sense of being stuck at a certain rank. SR is being replaced by Skill Tier Divisions in Overwatch 2. This only affects accounts made on or after the October 4 release date: anyone who has Competitive unlocked prior will have access to Competitive in Overwatch 2. In the process of unlocking Competitive, we analyze new player skill levels to optimize matchmaking in a way that feels good to everyone. This gives new players time to prepare for the higher expectations that come with Competitive, while veteran players don’t feel discouraged by teammates who have less experience. They will need to complete FTUE and win 50 Quick Play matches before Competitive unlocks. New players who create an Overwatch 2 account on or after October 4 will play through a guided First-Time User Experience (FTUE). Overwatch 2 will not have portrait levels, and match experience will go towards leveling up your Battle Pass. Let’s dive deeper into what we’re doing to make Overwatch 2 Competitive feel fun and fair to play. Competitive players should feel a sense of progression after games, and we want to provide players with the tools needed to improve and rank-up.įinally, we need an improved Competitive experience for returning players-for the benefit of both them and their teammates. Second, we believe losing games shouldn’t be a purely negative experience. Each one should take players on a new journey with new heroes, maps, game modes, or balance changes. We're excited to share how we’re updating Competitive in Overwatch 2, starting with the goals that guided our decisions.įirst, seasons should be exciting and tell their own, individual stories. Competitive play has been at the heart of the Overwatch community for years, and we have long-term plans to nurture this game mode far into the future.
