But apparently EVERYONE wantās 6v6, because apparently EVERYONE thinks 6v6 was a great time with absolutely nothing at all wrong with itā¦
Personally I utterly detested it. Obviously everyone has different experiences, but mine were VERY forgettable and I never want to relive them.

Rein/Zarya was why I took frequent breaks from OW1. May it burn in hell.

Although I hated 6v6, as a main tank main in OW1, the Rein/Zarya partnership on Kings was peak enjoyment for me. I always had a Zarya who knew what her role was, I knew mine and my best games were on Kings. Had some epic Rein 1v1ās where everyone on both teams, stood back and let us duke it out.
Anubis and Paris can burn in hell though.

Personally i prefer 6vs6. If your tank is slacking in 5vs5 its kinda a loss. But back in 6vs6, if one tank was not so good, the second tank could make up for it and it was not automatically a loss

I donāt know about that. In a game where each side had Sigma + Ball, and blue teamās Ball was slam dunking everything while red teamās Ball was merely dribbling, red team was screwed. All other things being equal.
Itās not a million miles away from games where one of the supports canāt cut it. If one team has a support thatās dying on cooldown while the other team doesnāt, the surviving support is going to be overwhelmed and their team will crumple.

Thatās not quite slacking though. Thatās one player is quite obviously far above the rest of the lobby, at which point it happens for all three roles quite regularly.

The case Iām going for is one player being below the rest of the lobby for whatever reason. Change my post to āblue teamās Ball is contributing while red teamās Ball canāt get anything doneā if it reads otherwise.
ye i dont like 6v6 at all and believe theyād be making a grave mistake going back there (including queue time apocalypse because letās be realā¦ who wants to play tank???)
i like that every role has high impact and kill potential currently in 5v5. i think very aggressive states of the game is more interesting than the borefest that 6v6 was
I donāt want 5v5ā
I want 6v6

Then just nerf rein and zarya. Problem solved. They should be nerfed even now.
Should you be drunk this early in the morning?

There is no way youād ever be forced to play 6v6 again, so whatās the problem, why is this even a concern in your mind.

Since we have new Tank heroes now and are receiving balance patches, Reinhardt + Zarya is likely not to be mandatory. If it does become meta, Blizzard can just do a balance patch to shake things up, just like any meta weāve had in the past.
The high DPS queue times in OW1 was for a couple reasons:
(1) CC was not addressed until OW2. Tanks getting chain-CCād was not a fun experience.
(2) Severely imbalanced hero roster. At end of OW1, we had 8 Tanks, 17 DPS, & 7 Supports, with the last new hero we got being Echo (yet another DPS). Blizzard did not start releasing lots of new Tanks & Supports until OW2.
How aggressive the game is depends completely on hero balance. They could balance 6v6 to be faster than current 5v5 if they wanted to. Although, the faster fights end, the more youāre playing respawn simulator instead of being engaged in a team fight.

Donāt forget double shield too, it was completely horrible. Remember in 2019 when Reinhardt shield had 2000 hp and sigmaās one had 1500, itās literally one shield with 3500 HP. Seriously, Iām tank main and it was so silly.

Eh yes and no, as dps/support you can attempt to flank and get your kills or play extra aggressively to keep focus of the tank for moment.
If the tank is able to make some spaces thatās usually good enough.
You can make up for it, but ya itās not Ideal.
Most heroes that have been released in 5v5 have been underwhelming, or have been balanced out like in the month their released in.
A lot of it was just hype or panic around mechanics that have already existed.
Like People Thought ram was going to be Up because he can punch through shields like completely forgetting rien and many other heroes already do that like in every role.
