Director's Take - Continuing the 6v6 discussion

No, thanks, on behalf of everyone who played OW1 and understands the reasons the changes were made.

No, we absolutely do not want 2-2-2. We had that, and that’s why we know it can’t work.

What you mean rotating Op hero of the month, and $20 a pop skin simulator isn’t engaging content?

cause they dont want to simply go back to 222 for the many reasons they cited before

the whole discussion has been about how they can implement 6 players again without the adverse effects it had before that led them to consider 5v5 in the first place…

so thankfully theyre exploring and not simply using the community’s “just go back to 6v6” logic

Ummm yes you did lol

If you were a gm tank and wanted to play dps you literally had to swap accounts otherwise youd literally be throwing trying to play dps in GM lobbies. Also you wouldnt want to do that anyway cus it would just tank your sr

You literally had to have a dps only account so you could go play dps at a separate mmr and losing on that didnt effect your main rank

Thats what 1 shared rank across all roles means and why we went to role specific ranking

You cant play other roles without being matched into your peak rank and it effecting your overall sr as a result

Thats why streamers often had like 5 different accounts back then and now you barely see anyone smurf because if you wanna play dps you just go queue dps and it not effect your other ranks

The nostalgia berries are blinding you bud

If the only balance changes they’re making to tanks is lowering health, this will fail.

The devs can’t be so bad at their jobs that they think that balances tanks.

It’s max 3 min 1, meaning you can’t do triple of two roles

You can triple one role, double another, but you have to have at least one of everything

I wouldn’t bother, it falls on deaf ears.

Smurfs are incredibly selfish and just don’t care as long as they get what they want. Which was to roflstomp lower lobbies, just because they were hardstuck where they were belonged. Nothing more than egotistical narcissists.

You’re missing the point if you think people wanted 6v6 just to have a sixth player. People liked 6v6 because of 2-2-2. I don’t want to solo heal or solo tank for a bunch of selfish people who instantlock DPS every game. I don’t want to play against three tanks either.

This will be the 6v6 test and it’s worse than 1-2-2.
The point is to have 2 tanks. Well

Your room temp IQ is blinding you

You want this. So, assume your responsability. You don’t ask the 2-2-2, just 6V6. So assume your wish

The amount of copium in these forums is truly astounding, borderline frightening even. SO, we all think that a dev team, who for years was unable to balance 6v6, will have finally come up with a perfect solution that will avoid replicating the nightmare of GOATs or the endless Dive Meta?

You all are cute with this positivity.

I’m asking about consequences (of course, it’s QP but if the 6V6 is back in competitive mode) :

About the “minimum 1, maximum 3” :
-if we have 3 tanks (reinhardt, Zarya and Dva) and 2 supports (moira Lucio), it means we have to play Mei or Sombra to play like the competitive one ?
-3 DPS, 2 supports and one tank ? I’m forcing to play with bad teamates everytime ?
-If the last one is the tank and the player is an support player, games will be unfun, right ?
-I wonder about the balance, actually

About the 2-2-2 :

-Reinhardt and Ramattra, Brigitte and Baptiste, Widowmaker and Bastion will be fun…
-Double shield will be fun…
-Hog and Ball will be fun…

About the 5V5 maximum 2 roles :

-If the last one is the tank and the player is an support player, games will be unfun, right ?
-I’m wonder about the tank role, if their HP is nerfed, tank will be unfun
-2 tanks, 1 DPS and 2 supports, DPS will be fun…

About the kingmaker :

-I wonder about the bonus. Hope Sombra old gameplay is back xD Or Dva can denied beam attacks :slight_smile:
-It’s only one or the solo role player will have more than one ?

Overall the problem will be : more creativity, more unfun games for any players who doesn’t play on their best role (or players who hates playing tank/support/DPS)

I dont even know if this is an insult or not cus of how you Americans tend to measure temperature

Isnt room temp in Fahrenheit a pretty normal iq :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Those guys still do that lmao. The game is free, everyone and their mother has like a zillion accounts. It seriously wasn’t a big deal back in the day

how is exactly going back to 6v6 bad? It was the baseline for what was considered good before 5v5 messed the things up and any common sense would suggest to start balancing from the last good state instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

they wrote a whole blog post about it…

Room temp is 70. Average IQ is 100.

Couldn’t even be bothered to do a simple Google search, and instead proved his point for him.
