this basically: 6v6 is Fun 5v5 Is Competitive
while playing 6v6 i felt like i had almost no impact on the game or it’s too crazy and can’t imagine this coming to competitive… idk what else to say, all the praise is confusing me and i’m worried qp warriors that play 1 match a week will ruin the game for the rest of us
i’m not here to argue, i feel like i’m wrong/missing something and i dunno, i’m just worried… i’ve never played ow1
In 5v5 you have 3.33% more impact than in 6v6. It’s basically nothing so it’s likely placebo effect.
I 100% disagree that 5v5 is more competitive. 5v5 is casual cause counters are over powered. The off tank when played properly, dilutes counter strength against the whole team. In 5v5 the off tank doesn’t exist so counters become much stronger. The stronger countering becomes, the less valuable skill becomes, because a counter is just free value given for existing on one hero vs another hero.
fair enough, i’m just used to counterwatch
but where did you get “3.33%” from??? there are 20% more players on each team in 6v6 so…
It’s based on the portion of your team that you control. If 100% of your teams impact comes from 5 players, then 1 player represents 20% of that impact. If 100% of your teams impact comes from 6 players, then 1 player represents 16.67% of that impact.
oh… i never looked at it that way, i see
Then it’s still 20% more impact no? 20% / 16.67% ?
That 3.33% difference is a 20% change from before
It doesn’t really make sense to use the difference to describe a percent change
6v6 can be good but their matchmaking/rank system is still broken. I imagine queue times will be longer and still get one sided stomps regularly.
I played quite few qp 6v6 matches and most of them were terrible. Games on average last 2x longer, there’s more visual clutter, carry potential is indeed much lower and supports seemed lost in most of the games like genuinelly confused who to heal and where to position which is why tanks who overextend evaporate much faster than in 5v5. Barely felt that magic 6v6 teamwork, but it’s early to judge since the gamemode is so fresh players have not yet adapted fully to it, especially those who never experienced 6v6.
I imaginethat you feeling that you’re having no impact on the game could be just as much on other factors such as you getting used to a different format, or QP’s bad matchmaking. I can’t say I feel vestigal in 222 so far unless it’s an out-an-out stomp because of team diff.
Considering 6v6 just released and its only QP, there’s nothing wrong with your feeling.
Most people don’t play this mode with the expectation of competitively winning, they’re just having fun.
The mod is new, the dynamics are new, so it takes time for people to get the hand of it. Meanwhile, it feels more chaotic. Its a matter of time.
If you focus a lot on 6v6 mod, returning on 5v5 will feel weird too for sure.
wait i got it, you have 3.33% less control over your team and there’s 20% more targets or whatever on the enemy team whatever so you actually have 23.33% less impact
