no Aaron, Tests should be this Season!
I was looking forward to play QPH this Season to test 6v6 and play Ranked in Season 14 in the 6v6 format.
Why aren’t you just transparent to us, Aaron?
Why can’t you say that Team4 just lacks developers to deliver features and updates on time?
The Halloween Mode with the Traits are fun, but the thing that they’re time limited and were the scraps from the cancelled PvE is bitter and that is bad.
Why. When you can conveniently do it around the time a new “rival” game launches… Nice token gesture to distract people.

cheaters and cheating problem - ignored.
Giving trash mode that only few whines ever asked. ROFL. It already takes 10min for support and dps to get 1 tank, imagine waiting queues for 2tanks.
Add this to arcade mode, sure. i do not want see this stupid 6v6 when 5v5 working perfectly fine.
Cheaters are problem. You just ignore that.

so that 6v6 is ready next season instead of fumbling around with tests at that time.
I suppose if you’re massive pro 6v6 guy, you’ll be hoping for that (for clarity I don’t mind either way).
It’s just that the timings seems a little too convenient.
Marvel Rivals releases 6th December. Season 14 starts 10th December. Good time to be doing some “please play me” attention seeking stuff.
If you want my honest opinion. Based on the 4 tests they’ve announced and everything they’ve said up to this point. It feels like the first one is the one they want to do. But if 6v6 proves to be some major success, they’ll do the same for that. Seems like the min max version of role queue is what they want.
I mean, at worst Marvel Rivals will be the end of Overwatch,
so I think it’s better to have 6v6 ready at that point…
this kinda reminds me to Dragonball FighterZ and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
Having played it… I doubt it. Only time will tell.
The team has been exploring our vision and development for these tests, and we’re happy to announce we will be running two different 6v6 tests in Season 14.
It’s almost like OW wasn’t 6v6 in the first place. Are the developers there that junior/new to the company?

Why is there always some experimental thing, why we can’t get simple 2-2-2 like in old day
it’s a bit of a useless controversy, frankly (or at least for me). Rivals still has to prove to be well balanced in competitive terms, and frankly I haven’t seen characters so well balanced. obviously fun… but rather broken if you imagine them from a competitive point of view and in the CC.
Obviously I could be wrong, but all in all this is the state of Overwatch after 8 years. rivals, aside from the “marvel vips” in its roster, still has to demonstrate to have a valid balance and pace for at least a year of competitive mode.
if you don’t cry over a cheating problem that only you find and in a topic where cheating is not on topic you’re not happy, huh? 
by the way when are there going to be real replay codes with real cheating? 
I agree. And it’d also not very comparable to OW (it feels more of a cheap paladins rival).
But as you say, it was fun to play in the tests, but not because it was good. It was just brainless chaos.
Hopefully they’ve improved it for launch. But it’s NetEase, I doubt they’ll be that bothered with that.

Aaron Keller should shut his mouth and just make it go live right now.
Patience. It’s happening, which is fantastic.
Why bring 6 v 6 when everything is balanced for 5 v 5 now…
Will tanks be weaker again? Cuz they deserve to be weaker if one more will join in.
This is just stupid decision that will turn the ques cuz it will take tank players alway from the normal ranked que…
well… The Game of the Year was 6v6
and the worst reviewed Game on Steam was 5v5
what would you choose to play?
They’ll definitely be weaker again when 6v6 comes back. Would be game breaking if not.
