Blizz if you are reading this, add a mode on the beta with 6vs6 with all new changes. Thanks

I would also like to see that happen.
Many of the changes that were made for 5v5 might actually be a huge improvement to 6v6.

Dude having a doomfist tank and an orisa tank at the same time sounds chaotic lol
I like chaos though!

They should add an option for 6v6 in custom games so the players can try it and have fun.

5v5 was never the solution, blizzard is just taking the easy route, when i was more active on this game i played more often than not in a six stack, when 5v5 launches we will just play a different game, I would enjoy it quite a lot if they kept 6v6 in arcade and just have (terrible) 5v5 in comp

New Orisa in 6v6 would be a ton of fun.

I don’t know if rebalancing the entire game around a new team dynamic is exactly what I’d call the “easy route”. I think players underestimate the effort and sheer money involved with that decision.

They are reducing the number of tanks in order to lower queue times, instead of just making tanks more fun to play, 2.0 should have seen the release of 5 or 6 new tanks and supports and no new dps, rebalances and reworks happen in every game, but putting less tanks into the match isnt going to change the number of players that want to play tank

This is part of the story- but not really the whole thing.
A very broad desire that is much easier said than done.
2.0 isn’t finished being shown off yet- we’ll be getting more characters from all the roles.
And all the roles should be seeing heores.
Sure. But requiring half the tank players to start a match means it’ll be less of a problem in that regards.

If they’ve made tanks actually fun to play in this version (which I think they have, one of the few successes), they’ve created the bottleneck in the other direction. As we’ve already seen in the beta - yes this is subject to change, but can you imagine what will happen when a new tank hero is released? Good luck playing tank ever.

5v5 is the reason tanks are the way they are now. Going back to 6v6 would mean they would all need to be reverted back again, so what would be the point? As they are now they would be insanely broken in the old 6v6 format with 2 of team in each team.

Not really. If necessary you can scale down their power level without removing their fun abilities (Rein’s new charge, all of Orisa). 2 tanks also means the 2 tanks can help control the other 2 tanks…more flexibility does a lot for allowing different playtstyles.

Exactly. Everyone loved the experimental card where tanks did less dmg but had more sustain. Idk why they didnt keep with that. Make barriers even weaker and give them more self sustain and less dmg, but supports feels miserable in 5 vs 5. You are just meat. You dont do enough heals so your ultimate takes years to chrage. Your damage is trash. The movility is trash. ( only lucio saves in here) . Nobody cares about you. Everyone is dueling others on the new big maps. This is not fun. Support will be the next tank role.

2 tanks per team would be absolutely nightmarish with the OW2 changes…
Imagine trying to fight Orisa & Rein at the same time running into your team…

Um everyone didn’t love that. Quite a lot of people, including a LOT of these forums, in fact hated that.

Just reduce their hp and barriers.
They would have to be nerfed to the point of being gimped due to synergy which is exactly where Tanks in OW1 are now. Tanks in OW1 are not all that fun to play because they’re power is limited by having a 2nd tank on the team. This is why we have to go to 1 tank per team, so tanks are fun to play & powerful.

This isn’t true at all. Tanks aren’t fun in OW1 due almost entirely to massive amounts of CC and a lack of imagination when it comes to abilities. OW2-Orisa would obviously be more fun than the other shield/stand still Orisa REGARDLESS of powerlevel. So why did it take OW2/5v5 for her to be implemented?
Have a tank capable of better assisting the support, and I’m not talking CC or heal-boosting but something actually CREATIVE like flinging a support to another teammate, giving them temporary flight (probably dumb ideas, I just mean something different than shields/boosts/dmg). Then you could have something like 1 tank with the dps pushing and the other tank with the supports. Point is, none of this is possible to even THINK about with 5v5, because you HAVE to have a tank pushing - that is the only possible playstyle that will work, and that’s lame.

6v6 classic would be great as an arcade and custom games mode.
Explain why we cant just creep the rest of the game to be good with fun tanks? Why do tanks just have to be unfun or 5v5? Why cant other roles also be funner to play and be a lil more powerful?
Nerf this nerf that make this not fun make that unfun is really lame.
