6v6 Comeback ? Give me your opinion !

[Club Penguin]

Am i the only one that hopes 6v6 comes back ? Don’t get me wrong 5v5 was fun at the start but now i feel like 6v6 is something many people miss . Imagine Push or Flashpoint on 6v6 . They could simply hive the tank there Open Queue stats and add an extra tank slot for Role Queue . I feel with only 1 tank the fights can be too one sided and sometimes really boring . I just wish someday it happens so we can run tank duos again . I feel like tanks OQ stats would be perfect for double tanks and the overwatch team should really be looking into bringing back 6v6 ! Let me know your thoughts on this .

I've never played the 6v6 but one tank can already mitigate soooo much damage.. do you really want a 2nd one running around for each team? Doesn't sound fun.

[愚かなジャガイモ]

the problem was that no one wants to play tank, and with population going lower and lower, that has became worse and worse.

[愚かなジャガイモ]

i remember when i stopped playing, tank queue were almost instant, and dps queue are roughly 7-10 minutes.

[愚かなジャガイモ]

and to be honest, imo, tanks felt much worse to play compare to overwatch 1

[alumlovescake]

Maybe if they put in it arcade mode every once in a while


class means little in this game because half the tanks are just beefy assaults and half of the supports are just weaker )or even stronger) assaults with healing

2nd tank was able to do so much more and it was so much more fun imo, either make an assault team with another dps through other route, or combo with the main tank.

you should play tank abit more often.

Of the 12 hours I've played, 5 of those were as a tank. What more do you want from me?

[Deatheye]

Doesn't matter 5v5 6v6 10v10, the balance matters.

And because the devs are too incompetent to balance it right, players are quitting the Tank role AGAIN, so there's a Tank bottleneck again lol.

but to be fair, if you have not play the original version when it was 6v6 and no limit, you probably wouldnt understand this anyway. so i understand where you stand.

but definitely 6v6 is more fun than 5v5, it is just that they dont know how to balance 2 tanks when players stacks tanks that have shield.

give 1 back with all that what was in there and remove 2. that would be the best solution.

the only reason i stopped playing it completely was because of this, they somehow downgraded the game and made it worse lol

I think 5v5 is just fine. there were too many problems with 2 tanks. but if you really wanna 6v6 you can make custom games 6v6 if you want, even balance characters around it.

As someone who played OW1 extensively, I can indeed say that I believe 6v6 should come back, albeit, not in its original form.
I believe that the game should bring back 6v6, however should do so in a manor which forces a shield tank and an off tank.
Much like when you auto lock a character, like everyone does with illari, make it so if you lock in shield tank, the other tank has to be an off tank. The main issue people had with 6v6 was the fact 2 shield was too strong, now it's at the other end where sometimes no shield can be a negative for the team, it's not always the Soldier's fault if the team dies when he has no cover to shoot pharmacy.

You may argue that 'forcing roles is a dumb idea' - to which I say, people leave when someone else selects the character they want *cough illari*, some leave if they lose first point, some leave when people mouths off to them. So I don't really care if someone says it's a dumb decision to make a change like this, a change like this is better than having 0 tank cooperation, if people wanna leave, then let them, people leaving games of overwatch is nothing new and a change like this won't do anything.

But think of the combos: Gravitic flux + Minefield, Earthshatter + Rampage, Annihilation + Terra surge - I could go on. You are actually rewarded for strategic combos rather than the current meta of constantly counterpicking.

Thing is, that one tank can now make or break a game. If this tank wants to grief then your entire match is pretty much forfeited.
