Those rank icons look really bad.
Why the heck would they waste time on “fixing” something that was absolutely fine before?

Same reason they made OW2
Overall, the Competitive Overwatch subreddit hates them.

We need to protest #BRING #BACK #OLD #RANKED #ICONS
I agree the new icons are bad, i don’t know why they needed this change, noone complained about lol
After 3 years of development their solution to fix comp is to just hide your actual MMR 
I’m not even surprised at this point.
And those new icons are absolutely terrible.

Junkrat could use a bit more ash.
Plus Mei and D.Va have some serious head.
Tbh the hero portraits doesn’t really bothers me. They still looks fine and at least there is a reason to change those because of the new default skins.
There is no excuse for the rank icons though. Not only are they worse but looks less distinct too and the colors are swapped around for no good reason.

Hiding linked group, portrait, level, profile, rank, sr
and showing that useless piece of scoreboard like people will start analyzing data in the middle of the game 
Now you don’t even know if he’s a very good smurf or a cheater 
Yeah idc that much about portrait
but icons for rank is something you carry and stay all along, i feel like its more important to give them good design or just let them as they were
They look amazing???
You have a bad taste.

Doesn’t seem to be many agreeing with you on that one

Read the comment on twitter my bro
They look terrible but maybe it’s something that will grow on us. Like going from skeuomorphism to flat Icon Designs in iOS. Hated the look of that at first. In fact come to think of it I still do lol
“de gustibus”
I like them, visually. 
I’m talking about the hero portraits.
Yeah some of them are ok but no everyone like i said, i care more about the icons tho
