Competitive play season 2 now has skill tiers. 1-5,000 instead of 1-100 scale. Sudden death is gone, instead, matches that are tied when the clock runs out end in a draw- though, it should be a rare occurrence. Vast: I have a comment about this one
Eichenwalde- new map! It’s an assault/escort map. Reinhardt’s home.
When activating the “Ultimate Status” command, Symmetra now reports the number of charges left on her teleporter. I didn’t know this!
When activating the “Need healing” command while targeting a teammate, Ana, Lucio, Mercy and Zenyatta will now tell the allies to group up to receive healing. A marker will also appear above the player’s head, allowing teammates to locate the healer more quickly.
Added Torbjorn as an AI-controlled hero in Practice vs. AI, Play vs. AI and Custom game modes.
Sit and laugh emotes now unlockable for all heroes
New Legendary skins for Reinhardt
Skill Rating Tiers for competitive:
Bronze – 1-1,499

*Diamond – 3,000-3,499
**Master – 3,500 – 3,999
**Grandmaster – 4,000-5,000
**Master and Grandmaster are the only ones that can drop their tier if they fall below the cutoff.
