Overwatch 2 will overhaul its progression systems to show more visual flair in matches
"The new Progression 2.0 system has overhauled the visual side. For starters, there will be new portrait frames that increase in fanciness every 20 levels, capping at level 60. These Ascended borders will be displayed when you pick your hero for a match. Between the different Ascended frames, players will unlock five tiers of hero badges that also display in Hero Select under your portrait."
"In addition to the new flash, the Hero Select screen will show your allies a card with your top heroes on it. I doubt anyone will pay too much attention to cards in the Open Queue matches, so this seems like a Competitive-angled addition. It could help make it easy to build a team composition based on the whole group's strengths, creating a test of your crew's cooperation ability before the game even starts."
Season 18 of Overwatch 2 implements Progression 2.0 that overhauls visual progression and reward access. New Ascended portrait frames upgrade every 20 levels up to level 60 and five tiers of hero badges display under portraits in Hero Select. The Hero Select screen will show allies a card with a player's top heroes to aid team composition decisions. Competitive visibility rules delay enemy view of portrait borders until 10–15 seconds after a match starts and prevent hero cards from appearing to enemies until one player eliminates the other. Season 18 also adds more free loot box rewards and a dedicated progression menu for tracking and equipping hero rewards.
