Overwatch 2 has a robust ranked system divided into several tiers, much like other multiplayer games. Here’s how the entire system works.
Overwatch 2 Season 12 is here, bringing in the mid-year Rank reset, which🔜 means you have to start from scratch and complete the placement matches to unlock the ranks for every role.
All ranks in Overwatch 2
Ran𝔍ks in Overwatch 2 start from Bronze and go all the way up to Top 500. Each skill tier is divided into 5 divisions, with ꦑ5 being the lowest and 1 being the highest.
Here’s a complete breakdown of every rank:
- Bronze: 5 to 1
- Silver: 5 to 1
- Gold: 5 to 1
- Platinum: 5 to 1
- Diamond: 5 to 1
- Master: 5 to 1
- Grandmaster: 5 to 1
- Champion: 5 to 1
- Top 500
Champion, added in Season 9, is the last conventional rank among all,𒊎 whi🦩le Top 500 simply denotes the best players from a particular region. It may include players who are either Champions, Grandmasters, or even Masters in very rare cases.
How does ranked work in OW2?
C✤urrently, in Season 12, the ranks have been reset which means you have to complete 10 pla♊cement matches for all roles to unlock the ranks.
Completing each ranked match affects the Rank Promotion percentage. If you win, the percentage will go up and if you lose, it will go down. Certain rank modifiers also come into play if you go on a winning or losing streak, which furthe💞r affects your rank progression. Draws, however, ensure your rank progression remains unchanged.
Here’s how the modifiers work:
- Winning Trend (Green): Bonus for high win rate
- Losing Trend (Red): Penalty for high loss rate
- Consolation (Green): You weren’t favored and you lost
- Reversal (Red): You were favored but you lost
- Uphill Battle (Green): You weren’t favored but you won
- Expected (Red): You were favored and you won
- Calibration (Green and Red): Your rank is uncertain
- Demotion (Red): You lost a match while in Demotion Protection
- Demotion Protection: If you lose again you will rank down
- Wide (Green and Red): Your group is wide so you gained or lost less rank
- Pressure (Green and Red): You were pushed toward average at a high or low rank

The more you wꦛin matches and climb up the ranks, you unlock Competitive Points (CP) which you can use to purchase Goldeꦯn or Jade weapon skins.

- Platinum: 500 CP
- Diamond: 750 CP
- Master: 1,200 CP
- Grandmaster: 1,750 CP
- Champion: 1,750 CP
