Also, keep in mind that only Role and Open Queue games count and not Mystery Heroes or Deathmatches. You can team up with your friends to take on enemy teams and rank up quickly.

Additionally, playing 50 matches to unlock Ranked Play also prepares the players to put up a tough battle in Overwatch 2. Further, it does not take much time to finish Quick Play matches in OW2.
