Overwatch 2 Competitive: How Ranks and Divisions Work?

In Overwatch 2, you’ll find the competitive mode still be present but will be slightly different from the previous game! In this short guide, we’ll show you the main changes:

  

No more skill ratings, now make way for skill rank divisions! This change allows players to no longer be discouraged by seeing their rating go up or down after each match. The result will now update every seven wins or twenty losses, rather than after each game.

 

The ranks from Bronze to Grand Master still exist and will now be divided into five divisions ranging from 5 (lowest) to 1 (highest). As you level up, you'll advance to the next rank every time!

 

In Overwatch 2, the placement parts are slightly different. From now on, it is no longer necessary to make five placement games. Instead, your ranking will be given to you once you get your first seven wins or 20 losses !


Overwatch 2, Competitive Mode, How, Ranks, Divisions, Work

If you played the previous installment, you will be ranked a little lower than your previous level. The reason is simple: this new game is a bit different, so it will take you some time to integrate the new concepts and the meta.

 

If you've never played Overwatch before, you'll need to go through a First Time User Experience (FTUE). You will need to complete it and win 50 Quick Matches to unlock Competitive Matches.
