I think overwatch should stay 5v5. I would like to have a different experience when I get pissed off at Marvel Rivals I have something different to fall back on. I still think 6v6 is better but overwatch has a new identity and it should stay that way. Do the right thing blizzard!!
Here’s the neat part, when you’re annoyed with OW 5v5, you can play OW 6v6 and vice versa instead

Overwatch is staying 5v5. They are merely testing whether the community is GENUINELY interested in a 6v6 mode and not all talk. Let’s just say there was a reason they were hesitant to test it before…
Yes Blizzard and everyone should all cater to you because you’re special

If both modes are popular they’ll keep both.
If one mode is popular they’ll keep that one.
$$$.
It’s that simple.
no thnx. Blizzard just should keep both
They prolly are you can tell how they did 6v6 isn’t what i envisioned it was a half a**ed approach to 6v6. was kind of disappointed.
Maybe I just feel bad for 5v5 players and feel that 6v6 players should just move on. It happens to the best of us.
OK, let me say upfront that I like OW regardless of whether they are 5v5 or 6v6, so please nobody tell me that I hate the game and I should stop playing it.
But here’s what I observe:
- They started 6v6 because that’s what competitive TF2 was, and Overwatch was based on TF2 at the time it came out.
- They changed it to 5v5 because that’s what Valorant and Paladins were doing, and those games were popular at the time OW2 came out.
- Now we’re looking at 6v6 again (thinking about it, not necessarily changing) because that’s what Marvel Rivals is doing.
Clearly Blizzard follows what other popular games at the time do rather than what they think actually makes a fun, good game.
In real world theris no such thing as "right thing " , people like different things and business makes money with different offerings
this “new identity” you speak of was nothing but a shell of its former self. Overwatch had its identity and it was great, but somehow Blizzard had other ideas to change that which hardly anyone wanted.
we gave it a try and gave Blizzard so many tries to make this “new identity” work but oh boy that was a fun show wasn’t it?

Saying that 5v5 is Overwatch identity and trying to follow all the other fps like Valorant is a slap in a face.
they never said 5v5 was being replaced
Don’t worry. They’ve already admitted they don’t care what happens in the tests, they’re keeping 5v5. So they’re just wasting everyone’s time.
5v5 is going nowhere and will always be the main focus of OW2. I really don’t know why people keep scaring themselves into thinking 5v5 is going to disappear.
Open queue will become 6v6 at 100%. The other game mode is a mess and for me is like not existent. It needs heavy nerf on all tanks to make it working. Then people will complain that the queue times will increase in role queue, and that’s the only downside, if the gameplay will improve 10 times. Anyway, open queue is the way to go, especially if they add the min 1 max 3 role, they can abolish both gamemode and just leave that one.
