Overwatch Competitive Play seasons shortened from three months to two

[Administrator]

Blizzard has announced Overwatch Competitive seasons will, from season six forward, last two months instead of three.
Overwatch tried one-month seasons during beta then swapped to three-month seasons after launch. Jeff 'from the Overwatch team' Kaplan explained one-month seasons were universally considered too short whereas three-month seasons, despite being "pretty good overall", led to a fizzling out of activity over time.
To compensate for the shorter season, Blizzard has introduced other changes. Total rewards will be less at the end of each season but this should even out as you play extra seasons throughout the year. Players will also receive more Competitive Points per win in Competitive Play, although Kaplan did not confirm whether this means you will also lose more points for losses.
