Sure, sure, the return of Mei and nerfs to sure heroes are all properly and good, however for some Overwatch 2 gamers, I wager crucial replace within the midseason patch is a bug repair. A number of gamers (together with some who’ve been in contact with me over the past a number of weeks) have been unable to get out of Bronze 5, the bottom of all ranks, in Comp even after successful seven video games on the bounce. They’re purported to get reranked at that time.

It seems that you just might need been the sufferer of a bug. Whoops. Within the newest patch notes, Blizzard mentioned that it “resolved a difficulty the place some gamers could possibly be caught in Bronze 5 even after a number of rank updates.”
