Blizz Devs Are Sabotaging 6v6, Lol

It feels like they want so desperately to prove that they are right and we are wrong. “You think you do, but you don’t.” mindset.

It’s the only explanation for how badly they gutted tanks… Roadhog and Rein are basically back to OW1 clunkiness, Doom’s CDs are unbearably long, JQ is squisher than DPS heroes and basically unplayable.

Just lol…

Their balance is, as always, lackluster. That being said, if 6v6 sucks with mediocre balance, it was never going to work.

The balance isn’t the problem, it’s how they gutted the tanks enjoyability.

Nobody was asking for Rein’s charge control to be nerfed. Such a change is a flat out QoL reversion.

Doom isn’t fun because his CDs are so long that he can’t even play like he’s supposed to.

JQ can’t brawl or frontline whatsoever because she has less sustain than Reaper, lol.

Why did Hog need to go back to OW1? Lol.

Hamster loss his utility.

Etc.

Nerfs are one thing. But entire playstyle and QoL nerfs are just awful.

The Reinhardt haters will take what they can get. And that is not even the biggest problem. One fire strike with THESE breakpoints has to be a troll.

It’s interesting, because I think if they wanted to nerf this part of him I’d think they’d go for the cancel. RiskvReward has always been Rein’s playstyle. Bad controls are just bad controls.

Not to say I’m suggesting that either.

GOOD.

I was getting so sick of those unkillable raid bosses. So let me pull out small violins for all the tanks. Sorry you can’t be super saiyan duos in 6v6. :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin: :violin:

Did I miss one? WHATEVER.

That’s quite the orchestra… Of strictly violins. Thank you for the beautiful serenade. It’s always nice to feel appreciated.

They’re not sabotaging it, this makes 0 sense.

If they didn’t want to do it, they wouldn’t, it takes time and time means money, to implement a 6v6 test.

They definitely could have just ignored the 6v6 crowd. They are doing this as a favor to them and all they got in return were insults. It’s kind of sad.

You people literally spent the last 2 years saying “Bring back OW1” and now you’re complaining that they changed things back to how they were in OW1?

Lmao.

I don’t agree they’re sabotaging but 6v6 does not equal OW1.

Your argument is with OP then, not me.

I’m not trying to get into an argument. I’m discussing Overwatch on the overwatch forum.

hmm, so a company wastes time, MONEY and resources to (in your opinion) pretend to try a 6v6 that has in its communications the goal of at least making 5v5 and 6v6 coexist one day. all this with you highlighting a problem with tanks, historically known difficulty of double tank in the 6v6 format which however has been out for less than a day and obviously awaits feedback on how it reacts after two years of heroes set in 5v5.

mmh

do you think the developers of the day before are behind it or maybe your tinfoil hat receives signals from space badly? :joy:

look, simply:

  • we need to understand what direction 6v6 will take at the end of the test. if by season 15-16 it becomes even just unranked or a comp parallel to 5v5 it would still be a victory for those who wanted it back.
  • complaining that the game doesn’t know how to balance with 5v5 and then complaining again that you’re not capable of balancing it with 6v6 which is objectively more complex… is really a ridiculous vision of the work required.
  • if the developers “are bad, they do it on purpose to make a bad test”… ok, nothing will ever change this perception of yours, accept it. if everything is a lie, nothing is a real attempt to do better, so what are you still doing here?

Predictable.

Even if OW1 returned they’d be unhappy with one thing or another. There’s a lot of people in the world who will complain and be unsatisfied regardless.

They should have taken the 6v6 from custom games which has been getting refined for probably a year now. There they have ironed out most of the wrinkles around balance for 6v6 and made it a fun mode.

But instead they, as usual, think they know best and did their own version of balancing which, as always, is a bit of a mess.

Team4, get your head out of your armpit and go grab the balance notes from the custom game 6v6 mode and just give us that instead of this mess.

The idea wasn’t to add a second Kaiju, it was to spread out the tanking duties, and it’s working GREAT. Every game is much more satisfying, especially as tank.

I think things like the 2nd firestrike, the bubblevl change and Hog changes are great.

I would prefer they split the tank cstegory into two categories, tanks and brawlers, where tanks have shields and not brawlers, so double shield just can’t be a thing, then make 1 tank mandatory, 1 brawler max, but not required and 1 support required but not max, then revert Orisa to her awesome OW1 kit, and we’d be off to the races.

What do you mean by that? As in, he should get it back? Or you are happy he lost it. It needs buffed for the new breakpoints if he only has one. Not negotiable.

it not the best effort. thats for sure, but Rein is very strong in 6v6, while hog is a troll pick.
