Overwatch 2 fixes major competitive bug that was ruining ranked

The skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system of Overwatch 2 had been broken for a while. Bronze players were paired with top 500 players in December 2022 and lately, Gold players have been put in lobbies alongside Grandmaster-level players, which leaves the game unbalanced for all parties involved.

The developers of Overwatch 2 promised to fix competitive issues in December, but the issues persisted in the months that followed. The game’s director Aaron Keller addressed the matchmaking problems in a Twitter thread yesterday and revealed the developers rolled out fixes during Valentine’s Day, which will be covered in the next blog post.
