Helloooo guys,
since you were sooooooo experimental after ONLY 8 seasons of overwatch 2 and added a “quickplay” change for the weekend, why not try 6on6 on quickplay for one weekend or are you scared that its gonna be better then 5on5 and your feelings will get hurt ?
Best Regards,

an honest opinion: for me the community is far too optimistic about the return of 6v6 as a more balanced mode than they actually remember
. After all, the current tanks all have statistics designed for 5v5, and not even decently optimized in open queue which only reduces HP but not their general stats. or anyway, we generally forget how massively we nerfed tanks in OW1
but yes, honestly a small-scale 6v6 can only dilute all this obsession around nostalgia just as total mayhem was developed in arcades to dilute those who wanted the double pick of Overwatch’s debut in a more chaotic formula. The more time he spends denying 6v6, the more its memory becomes overly romanticized.
100% this.
Yeah open queue is a good way to discover how oppressive tanks can be, even with the HP reduction.
A temporary 6v6 would require another temporary overhaul of tanks for a very short time.
I liked 6v6, but its a different time now, no need to waste time on something of the old times, which they apparently couldnt balance in the first place and which would be a hard task with the new tanks anyway.
Be realistic, there are other issues in this game atm. Mainly it all feels like DM, there is little team play. And thats why it feels boring, since there are better shooters out there. This was also the main critique when OW2 was first announced. It still stands.
