Why don’t metal ranks get competitive titles? :[

Why is it that 86% of the playerbase doesn’t get anything besides comp points from playing comp? :pensive:

I’ve played other games like rocket league where people from all ranks earned unique rewards, so I don’t see why they couldn’t do this in OW

Titles are optional, so if a low ranked player doesn’t want to become a target they can just unequip their title.

C’mon guys. I think seeing a “Bronze Challenger” would be funny lol

I am a believer that games are built on the Casual player base and absolutely there should be more love for those at the bottom. Ofc you need a mechanic that encourages players to stick with the game and improve but that doesn’t mean you ignore those at the lower end of the rank system.

The worst part is they made gaining comp points much slower.
From a cosmetic perspective, there is very little incentive to play comp.

Ok so I thought about this before and I would totally love “bronze challenger”

Now imagine if you get bronze at the end of a season and then play a ton to get up to like masters. Equip “bronze challenger” and watch as the team implodes.

I think a “Bronze Challenger” title card would be absolutely hilarious and seeing how your teammates react to that on your profile

It will bring more problems than solutions + you need to get at least some reasons to climb in rank, one of them (even if its useless as the spray on OW1) is the title

Just make seasonal ranked charms like in r6 siege, ez

TBH, I hoped, that titles would get more value and would be deserved and rare. Now we get bunch of titles every BP - which makes those “hard earned titles” not stand out, since anyone can have title…
Which kinda kills the purpose of the titles in the first place…

True. but think about a while from now, not many people will be owners of the first title cards such as Cyberdemon or streetrunner

maybe…but what that title actualy says about you? “the one, who got a lot of BP xp that one season” xD
I enjoy my “medic” title. I know it´s not that hard to earn, but that has something to tell people - “this person endured a lot of pain in that role to get this”.

True True. I wish they added ones you can get for being certain heros maybe. Like, play 500 matches with a certain hero and you get a title card that ties with the hero

Lmao they don’t? I thought I just didn’t see anyone wearing them because who the hell would want to advertise being gold? :joy:

“Mercy main” lol…it almost became a slur here xD

The only problem I see is it would incentivize people to throw to finish in bronze to get the title. Honestly, I’d probably try to derank to get it.

Another casual way blizzard really only cares about the higher tier players. (Aside from balancing the whole game around professional level play).

They might consider it a bit of a participation trophy, but at the same time youre just repping what rank you are on your title, the higher you are the more bragging rights you have. So idk why they chose to not include ranks lower than diamond at all. Its a bit bit of a d*ck move by blizzard if ya ask me

I found it weird too. Being low rank isn’t embarrassing. I want a title.

Yes please. I would rock my Bronze Challenger title no matter what rank I’m in.
