Previously, at the end of a season, Overwatch players would receive rewards based on the highest rank they achieved, no matter what rank they were by the end of it. As a result, some players have decided they’re just going to stop playing ranked until the season ends, as discussed on the game’s subreddit. A number of players made the point that they just worked towards a certain rank, and left it there. Others even made the point that that’s what they will do now they know that’s how it works.
