Instead they’ll be implementing changes in season 3 and season 4 “aimed at creating more clarity in the system.”

The issue is that there’s a difference between a player’s rank - the public tiers that rate players from Bronze to Grand Master - and the hidden rating actually used in matchmaking. The result is that players are regularly matchmade with other players who appear to be much higher or lower ranked, even if their actual skill level makes them comparable.
The same post outlines some other feedback they hope to address, including players being unable to “earn the items they want in a short enough period of time.“Overwatch 2made the leap to free-to-play, which means it requires more grinding, or real money, in order to unlock elements that were more accesible in the first game. “We’ll be making a change in S3 that should address some of these complaints,” says Keller.
While there might be plenty of niggles, we’ve still been having fun with Blizzard’s latest hero shooter,including in season two.
