Bring back 6v6 get rid of role queue

General Discussion

The player numbers are enough to say more people are sticking with 5v5 than they did 6v6

If people didnt like 5v5 why isnt the playerbase dropping off a cliff like 6v6 did between 2018-2020. Long before ow2 was announced and the content drought.

Fact is, 6v6 caused more people to leave the game than 5v5 ever has and that is good enough for me and clearly the devs to think its the preferred route despite its shortcomings

So… I think I am using much more concrete data than some twitter poll asking the same exact parrots what their regurgitated thoughts are

We don’t have the player numbers, even if we did, OW2 should have more unique players bc it is f2p

The player base didn’t drop off a cliff, it decreased yes, but it wasn’t dead

RQ, not 6v6

You have shown No such data whatsoever, just a lot of “bro just trust me”

Its not about the raw numbers its about the retention. More of those players are staying

Cope

Most people left before RQ lol. RQ wasnt until lat 2019. Most people had left by end of 2018/early 2019

84

Where is your evidence that OW2 has a higher retainment

Ok

Proof?

Here is Kaplan explicitly saying that being the solo player of any role no matter the format being very unfun to play

Jay3 was playing a 6vs6 game a few days ago and this top comment said it all…

1:48 Just the fact that a tank died and your team didn’t immediately get rolled alone shows why 6v6 was better for the game
