Recently an Overwatch fan shared a post on Reddit while asking others regarding their thoughts on MWII’s Demotion Protection. The user mentioned that the COD feature implemented for the Ranked mode is quite amazing. Because according to them, Overwatch needs to have something like that right now.

As of now, Overwatch 2’s Ranked system is quite interesting to look at. If a player on one’s team leaves a match and that team loses, then the losing team’s remaining players’ SR loss is the same as it is for any regular game of 5V5 players. Which is not what someone wants to have when it comes to competitiveness. Sustaining a given rank is important.
