Overwatch 2 Allows Ranked Grouping Across All Ranks in Effort to Improve Matchmaking
-
Grouping restrictions removed - players of all ranks can now group together for competitive matches in Overwatch 2 season 10.
-
"Wide groups" with big rank differences will only face other "wide groups," keeping matches fair.
-
To prevent boosting, players in very wide groups will see smaller changes to their rank after matches.
-
The changes may reduce smurfing, since players previously created alt accounts just to play competitive with friends.
-
The changes aim to improve match quality, especially for solo players who will not face coordinated wide groups.
