Valorleaks tweeted out a couple of hours ago that the ranked reward is going to be the same for Episode 2, except that it will say Episode 3 on the back. Honestly, I think that the buddies aren’t enough of a reward for rank. In almost every other game, you get more rewards depending on what rank you peak with/end with. For example, in Apex you not only get a charm, but a dive trail for reaching a high rank. In League, you get ranked borders AND a skin for reaching Gold or above. In Overwatch, you get to spend ranked competitive points on Golden guns for heroes you play.

Getting a ranked buddy that says your rank with the episode on the back is underwhelming, especially for the people that grind for hundreds of hours throughout the episode.
