The ‘Wide Group’ ranked play lets you group up with people of disparate ranks in exchange for long wait times

Overwatch 2’s tenth season is officially underway, and everybody’s pretty happy with the new damage hero Venture, and the fact that they are officially free for everyone after being locked behind the battle pass for over a year. Blizzard has also added several foundational changes with season 10, like an incredibly expensive Mythic Skin shop and changes to try and make the game less toxic. It also, apparently, has made ranked queue times insufferably long.

Even without the wide group factor, it appears some are still running into longer queue times when playing strictly in their own rank. Overwatch 2 fans have been asking to play ranked matches with friends of different ranks for years. It’s one of the major reasons I haven’t jumped into competitive play , because I don’t like worrying about my own rank when I can’t reliably coordinate with a team.
