Hot take. You deserve your rank

Also, mind linking the thread where they state this? As far as I’m aware there was only a bug keeping people in B5.

I just talked about this in a recent post. Where exactly did they say what you claim they did?

Here is my post on it: (also shown earlier today on this forum)

@Playsslaw-1659

So you’re going to keep posting your ignorant rhetoric without ackowledging the patch notes?

@Xnine9-2380

You must feel pretty silly about this post now after the patch notes.

@FireBender-1150

Funny that the developers literally just admitted that the match making system wasn’t working right.

@Errant-21583

This aged poorly considering blizzard just come out attempting to fix a bunch of bugs that were incorrectly keeping people in the wrong ranks and admitting and are adjusting the system to be more accurate when determining a players skill level and placing them.

How do you feel?

I haven’t responded to anyone mentioning the competitive adjustments in the patch notes because nothing in the patch notes is counter to anything I’ve said.

I don’t think the people @ing me with the lazy “gotcha” messages like you have even read the patch notes - or even my OP for that matter. Not a single person has quoted the PNs against me yet. It’s just been pointless noise.

Here’s all the patch notes concerning competitive ranking so you can read for yourself:

Competitive Play and Matchmaking

We’re continuing to monitor the health of competitive play and matchmaking across Overwatch 2, both for returning and new players. We’ve made numerous tuning adjustments on the server for both the initial and continued determination of a player’s skill tier and division, many of which will become even more noticeable at the start of Season 2.

We’ve increased the precision of our queue time estimates for each individual role in role queue.

Resolved an issue where some players could be stuck in Bronze 5 even after several rank updates

Precisely nothing here disagrees with anything I’ve said. My statements are still true. People have just seen that Overwatch is introducing minor and extremely vague changes to the overall ranking system which, somehow, gives them another escape or excuse to pretend that they are stuck in the rank they are because “ladder must have been inherently broken before this, therefore I’m justified in thinking that It’s not my fault that I’m hardstuck” - which is some loopy mental copium gymnastics and isn’t the case at all.

Side note: Bronze 5 has been confirmed to be bugged. This still does not give you justification to complain that “the system is rigged and you deserve a better rank”.
Firstly, Bronze accounts for a very small percentage of the Overwatch competitive playerbase, and an even smaller percentage of these players are Bronze 5. The vast majority of players have not been affected by this. There is no “gold 3” bug, and this wasn’t affecting all the ranks in Overwatch 1 like I saw someone claiming (How could it? You could literally see your rating move).
Secondly, my post clearly wasn’t at all intended for new players who may have been affected by this as I specifically stated that I am speaking to “hardstuck” players, which doesn’t apply to anyone playing their first season.

This bit had nothing to do with what my OP was about, but I figured I’d cover it because someone who hasn’t read the patch notes and/or my post is eventually going to message me about this again.
