Splitting the community even more.
Maybe we’ll get a no-perk gamemode test in a couple years?
Very disappointing for those who were looking forward to 6v6 Competitive this season and will now have to deal with perks. That’s not what they wanted.

I’m open to the idea of 6v6 with perks. Shame we have to wait midseason for it…

well will take a little longer but now we have to write 6vs6 2-2-2 no perks mode on every overwatch social media account so they can make a mode with no perks

Yes, there’s sense in what you said about splitting the community. They just want to be too many things. And that’s because they can’t figure out the game’s own identity, vision and direction.

I think they should’ve made it a separate game mode to begin with….stadium is going to be its own thing when it comes out…perks should’ve been as well
It’s not like everybody wanted to play junkenstein when it came out…but there’s definitely a place for it

Exactly. It should be separate. IMO Junkensteins Lab was fun because it was way over the top, and it was optional.
I’d play a little Junkenstein as warm up every time I logged on, but I still preferred and spent most my time in normal OW.
Stadium is great for the game, and I hope it’s fun and succeeds.

I think the perks are here to eventually dilute the concept of roles and make the base game open queue.
nah, roles are still vastly different
The 6v6 tests reminded me just how terrible, boring, and unfun 5v5 is. Now 6v6 is gone and they have introduced perks.
Yeah… This game effing sucks

I said to eventually dilute the concept of roles. Tanks are already big fat dps. Now the supports with offensive perks are much stronger than the ones with defensive ones that can easily be out-dpsed.
Going from 6v6 on the old maps to 5v5 on the wide open barren fields of nothing that are the new maps, is quite something. Makes you wonder how 5v5 ever passed the smell test.

I mean you still get the 6v6 test mode exactly as you were looking forward to. If the content you wanted was the 6v6 test mode then you are getting the exact content you wanted.
I don’t care much for 6v6. I’m fine with 5v5.
My point is that the community has asked for 6v6 ever since they announced 5v5. It seems that Blizzard has now realized there’s a big group of players who want 6v6.
Now they’re changing the game AGAIN, arguably even more than 5v5 ever did, and it feels to me like they’re walking into the same situation again - splitting the community and making a lot of players unhappy.
My second point is that the “OG 6v6” group if you can call it that, probably don’t want perks when it comes to competitive. They want the old 2-2-2 role que 6v6.

They should just drop perks since they’re adding Stadium anyway.

Personally, I can’t wait for 6v6 comp with perks.
Perks needs to be with 6v6 not with 5v5. After playing a lot of matches in last classic mode called Moth and just 3 matches with perks the difference is obvious. I had more eliminations as Tracer in classic then in all 3 matches put together.

They do realize about 10% of their playerbase wants to play 6v6 (numbers when we had it). Considering the entire mode was nostalgia bait, as they rolled back as much as feasible to OW1 balance states, perks not being in that mode seems a safe bet.
Yup…
I was one of those people.
jfc…
Over 2 years, hoping to play 6v6 again and they gave it back, but decided to wipe doodoo all over it. Like… not just smeared a bit. Full on dunked in doodie.
And with a smile said “this is what you guys wanted right? You sure have been waiting a long time. Well here ya go. Go on… eat it.”
