Changing to 5v5 was a mistake

[Sassanid]

Blizzard could have made all the changes they made to this sequel, including battlepass, pve, charging extortionate prices for cosmetics, and all the rest, without changing the game from 6v6 to 5v5. As an old school Overwatch tank main who's been playing since season 5, that's the main reason why I think OW2 flopped.

Thoughts?

yea

game flopped because it's 5v5 and role queue

Moving onto sequel since the day papa Jeff left Blizzard was a huge mistake.

Why do people keep making new threads about this? It's just the same thing every week

Why? faster queue and DPS/Tank show instead of shooting shields 24/7. I'd take 5v5 over 6v6 any day of th week

It's hardly better, because instead of bunker meta we have skillspam meta where orisa is obviously is most powerful(i'd say she is kinda overtuned rn, you could check top 500 picks and almost everywhere there is orisa). Also leaving tank solo made task of balancing tanks really hard(there are literally no midtier, it's either bad or busted) and because of that change there are less close matches as ever and stomps begin to being more common among matches.
