I remember streamers trying custom game mode for 5v5 before OW2 was released. But most quickly got bored of it and stopped playing. 6v6 custom games seems to be quite a lot more popular in comparison among the streamer community rn.

I played every OW 2 beta from start to finish and loved every last second of it.
The only thing I was thinking about going back to camp vs camp was getting back in OW 2.
I ran the code for 5v5. The only problem was no backfilling so some 6v6er would join then leave and you could never get a match in.
There was no discord server where its nothing but Samito 6v6 cult members queueing up into games so that isnt even a remotely fair comparison.
You’re really not getting the point here lmao
The poll was done in a community that would be biased towards 5v5, and yet it is struggling to maintain that majority

Man’s really playing the conspiracy angle lol
Most people still don’t like Samito despite agreeing with him on one topic…
After Eskay made the ‘all 6v6ers are incels’ tweet the other month, she’s brought a video out the other day on an alt channel ranting about the game’s problems and the comments, filled with her typical fans (like me) all pointing out how her specific issues were a direct result of 5v5 balance philsophy while echoing the same feelings she has. It’s genuinely beginning to seem like it’s a bigger thing than I ever actually expected, tbh.

me when i lie on the internet for my narrative
Right now I play tank/dps… maybe 33%/66%.
If they go 2/2/2 again…I will play tank ZERO %.
I just don’t have time to cater to ball, hog and doom one tricks.

And? There is no point, 50% is 50%
I read the 6v6 adjustment patch.
Notable things:
- tank ult reduction passive decreased from 40 to 15 percent
- cuts to ultimate cost across the board by about 25 percent
- most of the damage on dps characters massively buffed so they get ults even faster cause the above two changes weren’t enough
So straight up ult fiesta is what the 6v6ers want. Every 10 or 15 seconds someone blowing up a quarter of the map with a press of a button.
Then…
- Rein bumped up to 1800 shields with all Orisa’s cooldowns reduced. No changes to Sigma.
Hello double shield/double barrier.
Except this time Orisa instead can throw throw up spear spin and fortify to make the defense daisy chain even worse. Welcome back spam the choke meta.
At any rank below master rein is all that is played on this patch. It’s the Rein 24/7 playlist.
When you look at an example of what they are demanding here it’s just insane.
There is absolutely zero consideration here what this will play like for 90 percent of the playerbase.
And Samito thinks that after gigabuffing the dps damage to absurd levels like that he’s gonna get people lining up to play tank when he just nerfed their hp to like 400 and make them worthless except well coordinated teams cycling barriers?
Man, I’d love for him and the 6v6ers to cook up their own hero shooter to compete with Overwatch cause it’d be a good laugh.

That is definitely true. I am not here to do anything for the game. The game is here to do things for ME.

I was a 5V5er but after this patch and rise of overtanks, done with 5v5… this dev team has no idea what they are doing.
Before, 70% depended on tanks now its its like 90%… your tank dies and theirs is alive, gg.
no amount of outplaying.

I let you slide on this last time you said it.
The reason is because the role is split in half. Which means they are probably being shot at less since there are two beefy boys. They are also eating more damage with less health. And since fights are more often extended, either you clutch or ULT push like the good days. This applies for defensive ults as well. Even if it’s too much, they can adjust it later. Though, it’d depend. Balancing whether we were talking 5v5 or 6v6 is never ending.
That’s not a bad thing. Abilities and using ults is fun. Who would’ve thought.
There’s no need to use scary right wing propaganda words that have no meaning - its obvious that 6v6 players want 6v6.
I didnt see that at all. There was a 132 “triple DPS” experimental patch which got a bad reception from many players (especially tanks), but bliz had already decided they were going 5v5 for other reasons.
The main argument for 5v5 was from people who didnt like long DPS queue times, a problem that could have been fixed in other ways (many of which are now implemented).

Yeah, no one within the community asked for 5v5.
This unwelcomed change caught many players off-guard, if not outright turned them off.
You really don’t have much going on up there do you
Funny how this wouldn’t lead to double shield and you’re just looking for whatever dumb excuse you can to cry about it lol
Rein doesn’t work in double shield no matter how much the shield is buffed, and Orisa doesn’t have a shield so no

Because most players are DPS players. 5v5 feels better for DPS. But not tank and support.
You mean like how they do all kinds of stuff like add free coins to the battlepass and remove heroes from the battlepass and ya’ll just move the goalposts further back?
Wanna talk about crying?

Here’s the leader of your cult acting like a freakin cringelord over a minor buff to commanding shout nobody noticed and Brig getting an extra cooldown during rally.
