Other niche heroes like Torb and Sym are also playable. I used to main Torb but haven’t played him that much in OW2.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a pretty solid first attempt. A lot 5v5 problems are eliminated ir reduced to acceptable levels with the 6v6 format. If they can stave off or address some of the 6v6 problems, they might have a solution going forward.

it obviously needs a few tweaks, but it is genuinely better than 5v5.

How is hammond perfect? You roll, take damage, leave, repeat. The only fun tank is doomfist

I wouldn’t say it’s “perfect”, in fact a lot of people are saying they tried to sabotage it with the balance patch they used for it. These same people are saying it’s still more fun than 5v5, and I agree.

I’ve seen others say they’re using the terrible balance patch to make 6v6 seem even better, sort of an intentional thing by Team 4 to demonstrate to the player base that terrible 6v6 patches are better than the best 5v5 patches.

It all seems a bit conspiratorial to me. I just think regardless of what anyone thinks of the balance patch going into 6v6, it feels so much better to play than any 5v5 patch we’ve ever had. I have no idea why Keller and the rest seem so determined to double- triple- or quadruple-down on this failed format. Hopefully this test shows them the best path forward.

To me, he’s still easy to counter. Sombra is easily more lethal to him now than before.

Not perfect, but it’s better than Giga tanks in 5v5.

YES! That’s my GOAT’s iconic cycle go in rolling, slam, kill, take damage, get out, survive and thrive!!! Raghhhhh!!!

And now I have a fellow tank to hold frontline or help me with cc!!!

Nah, this is the best the matchup has felt, sombra got super neutered with the invis changes and the short hack, and now she can’t shut down the only tank in the lobby and she’s forced to 1v1 me in the back alley instead of the entire team jumping me because its big value to kill the single tank its so peak :sob:
