Overwatch 2 Known Issues - April 11, 2023
To the heroes of Overwatch,
We want to keep you up to date on some of the bugs and issues we’re aware of that are affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate y’all’s understanding. Our team is working to resolve these issues, and we will provide more information as soon as we have updates!
Current Issues
- We are investigating an issue where Season Three end-of-season final ranks were modified causing lower tier rewards issued for some players, and for current rankings to have wrongly decayed. Players who reach their next Competitive Update should receive their expected ranks.
That’s not decay, That’s the game giving you a reset for the games that they played
I think it might actually be decay
I don’t think so, decay was much more extreme than what it did to you, then again, I could be wrong
I mean, they literally said that season end modification and decay was a bug so it’s hard to tell what exactly is happening but that seems to be the majority of it.
I might be missing something in your convo, I haven’t scrolled up.
That’s good to know. I suppose they’ve just edited that post because when I checked earlier today it still only talked about the wrong rewards. Which I’m still hoping they’ll fix because that’s what I’m really mad about.

Oh, true.
In my situation though I went gm3 to gm4, and I remember I was like halfway through a reset that wasn’t great. Maybe I’m just a rare outlier that blizzard managed to do it correctly though 
This is what I’m thinking.
I’ll see where I end up when I do my next update tonight
I suppose the real outliers are those who went down entire ranks, like me. Seems to have happened to people who logged in as soon as the season began, which I did.
So for you it merely adjusted your rank to your MMR, but for me and others it wrongly applied the same decay we got in previous seasons.
Well whether it’s decay or not, the end result is pretty much the same. Personally I got lowered by 6 subdivisions (from D3 to Plat 4), which I think is more than what rank decay did in the past.
That seems about the same, it was usually 4-8 that decay did from what I could tell
well they said that accounts that logged in during the first hour got decayed while others didnt. (but its supposed to fix itself after your first promo)
thats why the “real weirdness” to me is when the decay is lopsided on an account. like someone climbs on a role but then decays on another one (on the same account)
Seems to be working. Haven’t tried support yet but my tank went from P3 straight to D3.
Now I just want my GM title an I’m happy.
hopefully they fix that for those like you that got robbed.

This is irrelevant. I finished Top 500 and you can see me right now on the combined leaderboards and support, yet I didn’t get any Top 500 rewards. What you’re saying isn’t the issue
I was demoted from GM1 to M1 (I logged in within the first hour) I just did my first 5 wins of the season and jumped back up to GM1.
I did see a tweet that they said they identified a fix and are going to implement it in the next patch. They said that anyone that was impacted by this would get the proper rewards and rank from S3

Weird. On my alt account it jumped me from D5 to D1 xD
On main from Master 1 to Master 2. Idk really what they did.
I went from ending the season Master 4 support (I have a screenshot of this rank literally 6 hours before the new season started) and I went to Diamond 4 and only got Diamond rewards. Sooooo frustrating considering how much time and money I put into the game. I know it’s just a game, but the rank reset for season 4 should not effect my MMR and rank for all of season 3. I really would like my rewards I earned for season 3 and that all my friends got except for me. I’m happy to hear they’re “investigating” the issue but I wish they’d be more transparent on if there will be a fix and when.

Same exact thing happened to me, except mine was DPS role. I really hope they fix this and give us what we earned.
