Wide Group checker FAQ
Quick answers about Narrow Groups, wide queue limits, selected role ranks, and what your squad needs to change.
What is a Wide Group in Overwatch?
A Wide Group is a Core Competitive party whose highest and lowest selected role ranks are farther apart than the Narrow Group limit. Wide Groups use a separate matchmaking pool, while groups inside the limit are Narrow.
How many rank divisions apart can a Narrow Group be?
When the highest player is Bronze through Diamond, including Emerald, the limit is 5 divisions. The limit is 2 divisions for Master or Grandmaster and 1 division for Champion.
Can a four-player Wide Group queue for Competitive?
No. A Wide Group with exactly four players cannot enter the Core Competitive queue. The checker marks that lineup as unable to queue instead of only calling it Wide.
Which role rank does the checker use?
For Role Queue, select the role each person plans to play: Tank, Damage (DPS), or Support. WideQueue compares that role's current rank, so one player can produce a different result on another role.
How does the Overwatch rank gap calculator work?
WideQueue converts every tier and division into one continuous rank ladder, then subtracts the lowest position from the highest. For example, a 5-division gap is Narrow when the highest player is Diamond or below, while a 6-division gap is Wide.
How much does someone need to rank up to make the group Narrow?
After a Wide result, the planner shows the minimum number of upward divisions needed for the lowest-ranked player or suggests another five-player role lineup from a six-person squad. Nobody has to rank down for those suggestions.
Do I need a Battle.net login?
No. You can enter every rank manually or look up public career data with a BattleTag. Saved squads and linked profile references stay in this browser, and shared links do not include BattleTags.
Is this the same as an Overwatch 2 or OW2 wide queue calculator?
Yes. The game is now branded Overwatch, but this checker covers the current Core Competitive system that many players still search for as Overwatch 2, OW2, wide queue, or wide match.
