Started using Zarya and my winrate is going back up. Went from 53 back to 57 right now. Hopefully I can get back to 63 with a decent team.
Just hit 59.

You one of those Competivitve quitters?
I think they shouldn't be allowed to play for an hour and also Reduce their earned Ranked XP on their next win too
Dev blog sum of the upcoming changes for season 2.
Cliff notes
New Skill Rating System:
- Ranging from 1-5000 which gets rid of the fractional increments
- If you win or lose, you'll be going up/down a full level
Introducing Skill Rating Tiers:
- 7 tiers
- Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grand Master etc
- Gold (Level 2000-2499)
- For all tiers besides Master and Grand Master, you won't be allowed to drop lower for the season. So if you reach Gold you won't ever drop down to Silver even if you drop below the initial requirement for that tier
- Season rewards will be based on what tier you reach
Sudden death is going away completely:
- Control Maps: There is no sudden death. Games still play best out of 5
- Assault Maps: Will still play like the Season 1 time bank system
- Changes to Assault: Bonus 30 seasons after the first initial cap. This is so that the game doesn't instantly end if the attacking team captures the first point in overtime.
- Originally when you captured a point with 30 seconds left, it would bump up your timer to 2 minutes. That will be decreased to 1 minute.
- There will be ties but it will be very rare
- Ties only apply if: Both teams don't push the payload at all & If both teams don't cap Point A
- If a tie happens, both teams will receive CP but it won't be as much as a win
Competitive Points received is being increased by x10:
- So if you have 50CP now, you'll have 500 in Season 2
- The cost of Golden Weapons will increase to reflect this
- Smurfing will be addressed
- The skill gap limit between one player to another will be 500 levels.
- Example: If you're level 2000, you can only play with other players between 1500-2500
- This system will be tested in PTR and will be adjusted based on feedback to balance it correctly
Skill Rating Decay:
- Only applies to top end players
- If you're within Diamond, Master and Grand Master your level will decrease by 50 every 24 hours if you don't play for Competitive for a week
- This has a floor limit so you won't drop infinitely.
- This system is meant to keep top players constantly playing to keep their high rank instead of just stopping once they reach it All of this is subject to change based on feedback during PTR so do give it a shot and give them your thoughts!

I really hope we don't have a break between seasons. I'm not trying to go back to quick play.

these are really really good changes 
looking forward to season 2.. season 1 made me not want to play at all

They realize there is a crowd of people who like the 1 hero limit and they said they might have a solution for it. But as far as I know it's up in the air.
i got yelled at for not being able to play mccree or soldier 76 in a ranked match today
You should be able to play at least one of the two though. Soldier if you can't aim well
I can't aim that well on either so I play pharah/zarya/lucio
never found them too fun to learn how to play with
