I would be happy with just custom matchs or the arcade.

Also while 7v7 or 8v8 might be momentarily unbalanced, it would be for the benefit of the game overall to fix the dps queue.

Ya but in the process could kill the one reason why anyone would want to play dps to begin with, as in their damage output/ Elimination potential.

Imagine genji with even less damage? Reaper when he isn’t doing 240 dps to heal himself.

The game can handle more than 6v6, there was a glitch in custom games a while back that allowed for 12v12 matches. But it was removed for unknown reasons.

Not unknown, but for good reasons. It was causing game client and server crashes, and the bug was repaired. Again, just because something was achieved once through error, doesn’t mean it is stable and should stay. Technical performance in video games is something that has to be balanced too.

As far as even seeing a 7 versus 7, here is Jeff’s response to that.

exceeding 12 players per match would cause significant technical challenges (we’re highly optimized towards 12 right now). experimenting with less than 12 is more realistic. it’s not that we cannot do it… it’s that the cost would be extremely high.
