In a recent forum post on Battle.net, Overwatch‘s principal designer, Scott Mercer, spoke about the end of Competitive Play Season 2, the start of Season 3, and a major change in the way the game handles placement matches.
Most important was the announcement that Season 2 will come to end on November 24th at 00:00 UTC.
The arrival of the third season will also bring a change to the way the game ranks players, especially in the early going.
Mercer also revealed that Season 3 will be following just one week later, kicking off on December 1st.
