Wanted to know if anyone besides DPS like this 6v6?

Some dps like it for the weaker tanks.
The only relevant thing is that tank players like 6v6 as much as they like 5v5.
I actually like tanking in 5v5 more.

Flex player here. I like it way better. Especially playing tank. I’m no longer just a child smashing my toy into things. I’m playing a game of chess, and if both me and my tanking partner are on board, we can leverage that skill to extreme effect.

I’ve flexed all evening long.
Tank is in weird position. I feel there’s a lack of coop and one of the tank usually just go their way as a flanker.
I’ve crossed one double shield compo Winston + Sigma and it was insanely boring. For heaven’s sake, I didn’t miss that strategy and its still boring as hell.
I don’t feel any change as Support. Maybe positioning is more forgiving in 6v6, but that’s all for now.
Dps is funnier cause there are more targets and tanks die faster. But tbh, its kinda stupid sometimes. I’ve done a game as Soldier, just spraying long range all game long and things die… just like that. No need for any strat, just shoot what’s moving and its done. Especially against shieldless teams.
As Damage is the most popular role, I expect this 6v6 being popular. The actual question lies on Tank queue. Will people keep queuing this role or will people give up the role as they’ll die a lot, lacking of coop or going back to boring double shield strat ?
Overall its just like OW2019.
Maybe some balance tweaks might help. I feel like Tanks having trouble getting their ult fast enough. Queen kinda struggles getting her place imo but maybe that’s just because its the beginning, everyone are just goofing around instead of building real strats.
Like OWC, I barely see people trying to set up Tank ult combos.
Rein-Zarya duo is back baby! 
Support feels way better in 6v6 to me. I actually feel like my job is to SUPPORT now, rather than to play Dead by Daylight in our backline bc no one can help me.
Now that I have an off tank who can help, I actually feel like I can do my job. I’m not constantly fighting for my life.

Well, I’m technically a DPS player, but I used to play a ton of tank in OW1 and I enjoy the new tank combos a lot.
Hazard and Doomfist work so cleanly together. Hazard walls and slices and enemy, so that doom can follow up with a fully charged punch, knocking them into the wall for the kill.

As a former flex main turned solely support main in 5v5, I love it and I’m never going back.
Support is the only thing that was improved by 5v5 and only by a fairly small margin. Tank (most of all) and DPS are leagues more enjoyable in 6v6.

As I support player I don’t mind 6v6. It feels more relaxed.

How is the Supreme Tank duo performing??
(Hog & Ball)
Me review.
As support: awful you literally can’t do anything. Why even play a video game.
As damage: I’ve been standing on this corner clicking for 15 minutes and nothing ever changes, why even bother playing a video game.
As a tank: well this is easier, but it’s also more boring and still nothing ever happens.
Like when OW2 came out everyone praised how much better 5v5 felt. Then a few old anti Moba players ranted forever about how 6v6 was better and the havee was dying even though the population of players was increasing. And everyone who didn’t like the game anymore but was hopelessly addicted to it anyway decided to agree with them. Now here we are and it’s awful boring garbage and honestly if 5v5 wasn’t the standard option I wouldn’t play. But the real problem is they need to open up the overwatch 1 servers to give those people back there game instead of trying to force them to like our game and keep trying to careery to them. They paid for the game let them play it. That’s the real solution.

I mean Soldier can do this in either format because he’s overtuned. 
This isn’t exclusively a 6v6 thing.

Would have been better if it isnt RQ.
But overall, it is like 2019 format. Not too great, a little nostalgic and snipers can still push your stuffing in.
But should it be the main mode? Hell no, nor should it be the balance point.
Make it arcade or what not, alongside 6 v 6 OQ. But dont ever go back to the balance format of 6 v 6 rq.

Enjoying it, feels closer to total mayhem now, which I don’t hate.
I hope they keep it longer than they’re saying, get some real actual data…
I’m a tank player… I can actually interact with other tanks without having to rely on supports to pocket me to stop me dying…
I also don’t need to counterpick as much so it’s really fun overall.

L Take.
We all know 5v5 is dog, just accept the fact that 6v6 is more fun or the new kids can stick to terrible games they seem to like but nobody else does.

So far I enjoy dps more, and that’s about it. 5v5 being op tank is more fun imo, and 6v6 support is a lot more heal botting. I prefer to be able to do some more dmg.
