What if, instead of waiting for 5v5.
They just did the CC and Sniper changes ahead of time.

I’d imagine in a 6v6 setting, the changes might make certain heroes obsolete.

well I (long time support main + sym main sombra flex) would no longer queue support because y’all struggle hard enough to deal with flankers and dive already where there is cc, fat chance y’all will when there’s none of it.

I’m just imagining Tracer with less CC.

and imagine dealing with df or ball without cc. bulky hypermobile heroes that have way longer ttk on them than vice versa.

Throw it on an experimental but don’t actually implement it (unless there’s very positive feedback) like April Fools.

Nah if they do that in 6 vs 6 Im not playing anymore.
For OverWatch 2, sniper haters will probably not get what they’re hoping for.
I’d imagine all they will do is lessen the range that they deal maximum damage, or another type of small tweak.
Not completely gut and dumpster them as some are hoping for.
And for cc they are not going to completely get rid of it for some heros, just lessen it even more than what it is now. (I’m not talking about tanks).
I figure just reduce headshot damage multipliers to 1.5x generally, and 1.6x for Widow (with 125 base damage)
Yeah, they could do something like that as well. But that would only apply to Widow.
Makes no sense to do that to the other sniper like characters since their multipliers are not like Widow.
Tracer already needs a nerf. Imagine her with no CC to counter her. 
U mean like in Ow1 where they are finally balanced? Good joke. I like it.
How would this not hurt 5v5? It makes me think it will be a disaster of pvp…pve might do well.
just too let you know, theres only technically 2 snipers in the game
widowmaker and ana.
ashe is more just a hitscan with ads and hanzo is a projectile so hes farless "sniper’ then people like too accuse him of.

Well, if CC is reduced across the board and is meant to be balanced in a 5v5 setting, I can’t imagine it’d play well in a 6v6 setting. It’d be worse. lol.
haha, now imagine her faster, with less cc and one less tank to peel.
In what way would it be worse?
CC, maybe not since those are meant to accommodate the role passive.
But snipers? Yea, I agree.
They’re adjusting heroes with CC and snipers to be fair and balanced against one tank, meaning they’re likely to be weaker against one tank. Throw two tanks into the equation in 6v6, and they’re going to sink.
