??? Can this please not happen?

its possible they didnt play in season 3

So that’s how I rank up from plat to masters?

i think you have to have some sort of really good skilsl and rteams to get that far

Ranks have been reset twice since then, you want them to invent a time machine?

In any case, Season 2/3 was around the time that people who had just started playing Overwatch 2 on-release started playing Competitive and we know that most of them ended up being Bronze-level players. This inflated the ranks of basically everyone else due to the sheer number of new players (remember, rank is a relative measure of skill, not an objective one) and the curve had to be manually-adjusted accordingly.

They based your rank off your MMR that season.
I had an account that finished S2 as Diamond 1
Started S3 as GM5

Skipped Masters altogether
