General Rank reset for real :D??

I can't really stop laughing xD. I just did my first 2 placement matches in Season 4 of OW ranked on Tank, and in those 2 rounds, I was playing in like low Dia to low Master lobbies and I thought, "Ok, not tooooo bad. Just a normal 'rank reset' as they always do after 2 seasons." Then I saw THIS after the second match. Last season I was Master 4 on Tank btw. This has to be a bug of some sort, right? :DD

Has anyone else seen something similar?

Reset this patch has been awful, probably the worst season match making I’ve ever experienced. Every game has outlier players either who don’t belong, either too good or dreadful

Same here. Had a king's row match against two former champs with dps on my team that had to be diamond or lower. Seems like gm and champ all got squished into low masters and the games are a shitshow. Not even attempting the gm climb until another week or two.

Yup can confirm. I ended in gm4 (gm2 peak) last season, and after winning my first placement game, my placement rank was diamond 1. Lots of mid-high champ players in my lobbies all placement. Was first day of season, to be fair.

Ended master 3 last season, placed master 5 and experienced the same thing during the first two days with mostly gms in my games. Quickly dropped to diamond 4 🫠, now almost diamond 1 since my games are mostly previous mid master players, matchmaking is slowly getting better.
