Changes: Competitive Points

Revision as of 22:47, 5 May 2022

Competitive points are one of the currencies in Overwatch, similar to Credits. They can only be used to buy golden weapons. Players stop earning points if they have 6,000 unspent points, though they will still receive their end-of-season rewards. Competitive points are awarded to players for each win or draw in Competitive Play, with an additional end of season bonus based on their season high rank.

Season 18 onwards (current)

Beginning with season 18, role-queue^[1] was introduced, with a different rank given for each of the three roles (tank, damage and support). Competitive points are awarded separately for each rank. Awards per game for wins and draws are the same as previous seasons. (15 competitive points per win, and 5 competitive points for a tie.)

End-of-Season Rewards
Tier	Points Earned Per Role	Total Points Earned*
Bronze	25	75
Silver	50	150
Gold	100	300
Platinum	200	600
Diamond	300	900
Master	500	1500
Grandmaster	650	1950

*Total assuming the same rank in all three roles.

From Season 23 onwards, Open Queue Competitive Play was introduced with the same Competitive Points awarded per win, loss or draw. Competitive points are awarded as per pre-role queue format.
