Competitive play will see another change in Overwatch 2, specifically matchmaking. Aaron Keller and Jared Neuss are obviously there!
For Overwatch 2 Season 3, the developers have promised big changes for competitive games. First, they demanded a change in the number of games to play in order to get a rank upgrade. This is done because the number of wins/losses needed to get a change in our rating has been reduced to 5 for wins and 15 for the number of losses needed.
Additionally, an adjustment to the matchmaking system was required so that each role was assigned to opponents of similar MMR. Therefore, players of a specific rank should only be between them. Although adjustments have been made, matchmaking issues remain. It’s not uncommon to see master rank players go down against gold rank folks..
Changes coming this week to Overwatch 2
aron keller He had already announced, last week, the arrival of patches to prevent the lower ranked players from facing the higher ranked ones. Until then, we had little information on this subject. Aaron Keller had specified that he would give many more details within the framework of a blog post.
The questions kept coming, so Jared Neuss stepped in to reassure the players. Jared Neuss tells us that the updates will happen this week and that some improvements will be made at the beginning of the week. Therefore, we can expect to get a fix for Competitive Games matchmaking in Overwatch 2 soon.
As promised in January, the development teams will be making ongoing adjustments to the player ranking algorithm in competitive games. Although the games can be laborious, things will change in no time..
As for the change of UI, know that it will be necessary to wait until the middle of the season to see an evolution. This new tool should give much more information about our wins and losses to better interpret the adjustments made to our range.
