I May Play Again If

This game finally decides what it wants to be.

5v5, 6v6. 5v5 and 6v6 at the same time.

Role queue, open queue, no queue, role limits, no limits.

Pick a mode. Decide on a direction. Define what this game even is.

Settle on a stable state of balance. Stop making crazy af changes that switch-a-roo everything.

Stop trying to satisfy everyone at once.

If you wanna have your cake and eat it too listen to the 5v5 and 6v6 crowd as separate entities and cater to the wants of these players separately.

Myself and I’m sure a lot of other people are waiting for Overwatch to decide what it’s gonna be before trying to decide if we want to come back.

The game is in a state of limbo and it’s causing tremendous damage being so wishy washy and indecisive.

Im not going to queue up on comp knowing that in a couple months everything I’m currently learning may get rugged pulled when the format of the whole game changes to god knows what.

We are over 8 years in and they don’t know what their customers want yet?

That’s insanity.

No wonder this game is bleeding players like mad to Marvel Rivals.

What even is this game?

The devs can’t even tell you!

They’ve been on a consistent direction though? I don’t get the problem

It’s a party game. Players like variety.

Pretty sure they’ve decided on PvP.

What do think the 6v6 playtests are for? And you can play 5v5 anytime.

What do you want out of OW? Tell me. Better yet, tell Blizz.I’m just a gamer lurking the forums. I’m not the one to talk to.

From what you’ve said, sounds like you’re quitting. If so, I’m sorry to hear it.

They can’t. I mean, they can and they did for almost two years, but they can’t actually come up with how to make that direction work. They decided on 5v5 and tried oh so hard to make it work but they just couldn’t. Even if they decide on 6v6 they’ll screw it up as we can see from their test. Hitboxes still feel flabby, supports still have their passive so I’m never under any real pressure from poking, health pools make everything feel ever so slightly less impactful, dps passive still there but at least nerfed… like literally everything they added to “fix” 5v5 except for supertanks is still in there.

So yeah, idk :woman_shrugging:

Waiting room for 6v6. As far as 5v5 goes, perhaps they’ll get their crap together and somehow realize that supertanks aren’t good for the game — not for tanks, not for supports, and not for DPS.

The problem is both 5v5 and 6v6 work! So now the Devs have to make a difficult choice: keep 5v5 as the main format (likely), make 6v6 the main format like OW1 (unlikely) or do a split between the 2 formats (somewhat likely?).

That season 10 patch bodied 5v5!

And that season 9 patch I thought was cool at first and realized later how aids that made 5v5.

not really sure what OP is on about…

the game was 6v6…they shifted it to 5v5…and its been 5v5 ever since…

the only 6v6 in the game has either been an event mode (like owc) or a test…and at no point have they removed 5v5 in order to do so…its your choice to play either…

same goes for the role option as theyve been balancing the game for 122 specifically the whole time

Yea, so long they maintain the blance bar for 5 v 5. 6 v 6 can exist as a alternative game mode for others to mess around. So long it is OQ

RQ 6 v 6.can stay and rot in arcade for all I care.

14

They did that already.
5v5, RQ.

If they didn’t make the changes, seasons really would just be skin cycling.
That sounds like it would have burned down long ago. Boring.

They said in that blog post a few months ago.

The game can end up 5v5 only, 6v6 only, or both. We don’t know.

They just had an experimental mode to gauge interest.

Wow, are you even paying attention at all?

I would love if they would add fun content to grind for free like marvel rivals, the battle pass skins and everythihng in the battle passs is mid, and nothing is fun about this game anymore its just stressfull

Guess people better head to arcade for their 6 v 6 rq, cause that isnt doing good numbers right now with how the queue times are climbing.

18

It’s because they lost 40 percent of their players and it’s getting worse every single week.

19

That, or the so called 6 v 6 rq were never that large.

20

so you cant play the game while testing is being done?

ok…whatever

No.

If the developers do not know if the game is going to end up being 5v5 only, 6v6 only, or both why would I invest time into this if the whole format of the game could wind up being anything at any point in time in the future?

Are they ever going to settle on a format?

It’s been 8 years now.

They can’t even figure out basic systems like how they want people to queue into it.

It’s just a clown fiesta of devs that dont know wtf they are doing. There’s no stability to any of this.

I’m sick of this game “finding it’s identity” and I think everyone else is to.
