I agree with you on the re-color skins being sold in the shop. It’s a lazy method of making quick money and unfortunately, their a people out there that will pay for them.
Gautlet mode is dumb, shoot the Mastery modes are dumb period.
The new Ranked system isn’t resetting the Ranked MMR, it’s just resetting what your visual rank was. You’re still going to have the same MMR you had from the start of OW2. They one big positive coming out of these changes is we can actually physically see after every match if we rank up or down, similar to OW1.
