“And they said ‘we probably won’t see anyone reach Champion 1 this season,’”criticizedone player.
“I thought it was supposed to be hard to get,” remarkedanother.
Well, even dev Morgan Maddren was a bit surprised by the outcome, posting on X about how he didn’t expect anyone to be able to hit Champion 5 this fast, but warned doubled down on just how difficult it is to go deeper in the tier.
I wasn’t expecting someone to hit C5 quite this fast, but not super surprised. I’ll be very surprised if anyone hits C1 this month. C1 is way harder to reach than C5.Let’s see if you all can prove me wrong 🙂
“I’ll be very surprised if anyone hits C1 this month. C1 is way harder to reach than C5,” he revealed. “Let’s see if you all can prove me wrong.”
Knowing theOverwatchcommunity, it won’t be long until someone is able to do just that, the only question is what player will go down in history as the first to hit Champion 1?
