So, when I play competitive I play my placement matches with my boyfriend. Once we are done he gets ranked in gold while I get ranked in bronze. We keep playing and he will rank up after playing his five matches while I will either stay in the same place or I will rank down. Is there some type of problem or glitch going on? We thought it was just because of the difference in our roles so we played open queue together, all 5 placements since we had never played it before, and the problem persisted. Once again, he was placed in gold 2 while I was placed in bronze 3. I am just wondering if anyone knows if this is something I can fix because no amount of matches will let me rank up, no matter how many I win or how amazing my stats are. I always stay in bronze 3 or 4. It is at the point where we can no longer play competitive together, open queue or role queue. Is there some type of hidden stats that come into play when we competitive that is affecting our ranks, if it is affected by the fact that my account merged with the release of Overwatch 2, or if there is some type of glitch happening that I am being affected by? It just doesn’t seem right that I am not making the same progress that he is. Something to also note is that I was an avid Overwatch 1 comp player (I hit gold there when I played) and he hardly touched Overwatch 1 at all during it’s lifespan.

You are not alone in experiencing this bug. Assuming your win-loss ratio is positive, you might be experiencing the bug in which during a rerank, your initial rank is demoted five subdivisions before the adjustment takes place. There’s a ton of posts under my thread under: Incorrect Rank Adjustment regarding players with those exact bugs if you’d like to read more about it. Comprehensive Thread Of All Top 500/Competitive Bugs. If you can, could you record your bugged rank adjustment, making sure that at some point in the video it shows your pre-adjustment rank, either from the queue menu or the career profile, and link that video to the thread? Any help in spreading the word about this megathread would be greatly appreciated.
