Rank icons no longer show in comp

Guess thats one way to fix long queue times. Hide everyones rank so you can match people of bigger sr gaps since no one will know. Means faster games matched

Well, most of my games had a range of 3 ranks anyways. So I am used to it.

Most likely a bug.

We’ll see. Very doubtful. Theres a new icon, a white line, where the ranks should be. If theres a whole icon for it seems like its on purpose

Well, I just checked a twitch stream and the icons are showing normally. Besides, a change like this would definitely be mentioned in the patchnotes.

If it’s the one by their healthbar that one is always visible

Op is suggesting that ranks are removed to ha e quicker que times. Basically qp 2.0 but you can earn gold gun points.

Yup. They are missing from the stats screen, the pre round lobby, when loading into a match

I only see mine, everyone elses is a white line

wait can you not see them in people’s career profiles anymore? or are you talking about the tab screen?

No, i can still see career profiles unless theyre private. Just in-game theres no way to tell what rank your team is.

Maybe they did it to combat rank shaming?

yeah but that makes actually zero sense because you can still see it when you load into games and in career profile they should have just disabled it for private profile people

I cant see it at all in game

is it possible those are players doing placements?

No because i cant see mine except for the bottom left

can you try to take a screenshot next time you play comp? i want to see how it looks for you

How do i share screenshots on here?

you need to post it on something like imgur or use gyazo and post the link here

I have confirmed with Community Manager Josh Nash, that this is apparently NOT intended and being investigated by Blizzard as we speak.

is it just me or i cant see the names of the people i avoided?

Can you get me a screenshot of your recent players list on your social media? Did you avoid any players since the patch went live?
