Greetings, Heroes!
Happy Season 18 launch day! We wanted to make you aware of a possible visual/content bug affecting our Progression 2.0 system that will be fixed in a later update.
Some of you may see a much higher Player Level than you were expecting—as well as an incorrect Player Level Badge—when you hop into Season 18. These are only shown on your Career Profile and at the end of a match in the Victory Lineup.
Hero Level and other Badges are not tied to any rewards in the Progression 2.0 system, so you won’t be missing out on any loot…or getting any bonus loot you shouldn’t have, Junkrat style.
Our new system is still calculating levels from the previous system and some are being counted twice. This is an entirely visual bug that will be rectified in a later patch. Thanks for your understanding!
