    The competitive ranks in Overwatch 2<\/em> are divided into eight primary tiers<\/strong>: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, and the newly introduced Champion<\/strong> rank. Each tier (except Top 500) contains five divisions<\/strong>, numbered from 5 (lowest) to 1 (highest). This division system gives players a clearer sense of their standing within a tier. For example, moving from Gold 4 to Gold 3 feels more satisfying than vague shifts in skill rating, as each division represents an approximately 100 SR range\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
