Matchmaking changes and quicker rank-ups coming to competitive mode in Overwatch 2 season 3

Last week, Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller updated players about changes coming in season three of the sequel, which begins on Feb. 7. In his Developer Update, he noted that competitive mode had been a sore spot for both players and the development team; one-sided matches and an unfulfilling competitive experience felt overwhelming in season two. 

Keller hinted at improvements in the pipeline and the development team went into greater detail with a follow-up Developer Blog posted today. Knowing how much the community has felt displeased with the ranked experience as of late, the developers laid out concrete improvements to the competitive experience coming in just a few weeks.
