Hi! sorry if this a silly question, but how does one qualify for top 500? im currently masters 4 support and i see diamonds in the t500 leaderboard and im not rlly sure how to get on it as blizzard doesnt specify? ive played more than 200 games and have sms verified.
Masters is lower than Top 500. Climb two more ranks and you’re there.
ive seen diamonds and people lower rank than me in t500 though, does that change anything?
I think you qualify if you played or won at least 25 games and have your phone number liked to the account. Otherwise: just keep climbing. Every top500 is different, but mostly you have to be GM to get into top500. Exception are unpopular modes or “fun” modes like open queue and other modes that are not REALLY comp.
What’s the context? Open q? Role q? Quick play? Where do you see the diamonds in t500. Maybe they have the player card or icon from a past season? Check the leaderboard for the game mode you’re currently playing
As far as I know it’s based on your internal hidden MMR with a min number of games played for the season.
Rank in OW2 does not matter as all your match making is based on an hidden number regardless of rank. Your displayed rank is just a tool to make the rank experience more addicting and is manipulated to help you “climb” even if nothing is really changing.
For the combined it’s the average sr between your 3 ranks so you can get t500 combined by being high diamond on all 3 if you win I believe 50 games? And are sms verified
Open q is diamond cuz nobody plays it
For Specific roles it’s usually upper gm so you’ll need to climb a bit more
