I don’t recall 6v6 RQ ever being properly tested in ow2. I believe they tried it once in classic ow which doesn’t count. I didn’t play that at all even though I am a diehard 6v6 RQ enjoyer.
If they did 1 full season of switching 6v6 to RQ and 5v5 to OQ with 1 tank max I bet it would be 95% 6v6 being played. Even without any rebalancing for 6v6.
No, they tried a seperate OW2-balanced 6v6 RQ test.
It had less players than the OQ test.
lets move 5vs5 to arcade and lets see how many people actually preffer 5vs5
It will still be the preferred mode.
Most gamers are simple casuals who enjoy the likes of COD.
5v5 is dumber and simpler.
5v5 inherently appeals to simpler gamers who enjoy the likes of COD.
insert meme: trust me bro I am an engineer.
make 5v5 open q and watch it never get played by anyone.
Stadium will stay bo5 as its superior.
and 6v6 needs role q.
5v5 appeals to tanks who can’t be bothered to play overwatch.
can I have my solo dps slot with a 50% power increase? babied role, always for tanks.
Looks like most Stadium Hazards aren’t being super dominant as they were during the first week of Stadium.
Still coming out strong, but it seems like players are adapting, so he’s not likely to see too big of change in the next week or so.
Torbjorn and Sojourn on the other hand are likely to see some buffs, as well as some bug fixing. Mercy is probably going to see some Stadium improvements too.
… according to who?
according to most players 6v6 is superior especially in role q.
lets prove it
a casual shooter player would never try overwatch, is complicated
no, is worst, raid boss tanks, nobody play tanks in 5vs5 and nobody wants to fight tanks in 5vs5
overwatch 2 became more complicated af, a simple game with a lot of charm became a mess developers failed to balance and they abandoned
Team really said, "nah suffer 
"
I would love it if they gave Ana her Tranquilizer item back.
(I miss Season 18 Ana, that was way better)
Also probably need to fix Torb’s Magmini bug (or disable the power), coz 100% damage and duration makes that thing too strong lol
Honestly? No, I don’t think we can expect them to fix anything. That would imply that they
A: Care what the community thinks
And
B: Are willing to admit they screwed up
They show poor track records for both.
No, it’s dumber and simpler.
yeah the tank have twice the preassure and has to deffend 4 people alone vs 5 people but is easier
Yeah.
It’s dumber and easier for DPS.
Which is the majority of the population
i play 5v5 because its not a 7 month que
Not you, you dip.
20charrrs
stadium is going to poop because of auto aiming stuff.
and they did it on an OP character.
Except you’re assuming it’s what people want because maybe 2 dozen people are posting about it on the forums? Even if we include all the people complaining on reddit two it would still be a minority of the people who play stadium let alone play in general. This is also ignoring hte fact that they’re probably watching their internal stats. Which for Stadium we don’t have any information about other than queue times, and they’ve not made any great changes either way towards faster or longer.
Personally I’m loving Bo5, games feel much more competitive without being so long their exhausting.
I’ve been playing stadium hard since the new season dropped. Pretty much every match has been people on both teams complaining about it a fair bit. From what I’ve seen no one’s enjoying themselves. If they want to do best of 5 they can leave it in QP. No one wanted this in ranked.
