Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future - lemm.ee

Lol. After all these years they’re thinking of rolling back the 5v5 changes. To quote someone from Reddit: > PVE was dropped, heroes are free again, and now 6v6 is back. Blizzard spent the last couple of years turning overwatch 2 back into Overwatch 1.

I'm glad they're looking into 6v6, but I honestly like 5v5 better. Queue times are short, games play quick, and it's easier to keep track of what's going on. It does put a lot of pressure on the solo tank, but not so much that I don't enjoy playing tank.

I'm more interested to see where they go with some of the other queue changes they mentioned. If they can add some more flexibility than "1-2-2 only" in a way that doesn't totally break team comp, that could be a lot of fun!

Double tank was such a pain in the ass. The new tanks were built to solo tank. It will require an almost 100% tear down and rebuild to get back to 6v6.

I mean, they can undo the buffs to the other tanks, and do the equivalent nerfs to the new tanks.
