Well, bad news for you then, because less and less people will be playing tanks while it keeps getting more and more miserable, so eventually blizzard will have to change something for the queues, want it or not.

My queues are nowhere close to the point it was in ow1. Like 17 minute difference. Maybe we chat on it again in another 6-8 years.
It is going to get there. no worries.
you better start playing tank yourself if you actually want to keep 5v5 xDDDD

I played mostly winton in season 8. Don’t worry I already play all roles.
Why would giving them positive results for 5v5 encourage 6v6?
Makes zero sense.
I left tank because of 5v5. I am not coming back until I get a tag team tank buddy again.

Why would they bring it back if the population is half the other roles?
I hope you also have a lot of doubles too to make up for all the ppl queueing for the other roles.

Jokes on you I like 5v5. I can play as I please.
Because it would increase said population due to less expectations resting entirely on your shoulder.

By how much? What proof can you supply that it would increase enough?
The point of doing 6v6 is that tank will be able to be fun enough to attract tank players back. If we fix the queues, then the devs will go SEE LOOK 5v5 IS THE ANSWER WE HAVE THE TANK PLAYERS.
I will not be playing tank until we get 6v6.
Cool, can’t work the way you’re arguing either. Gotta attract people to the role by improving it. With y’know. 6v6.
So much this.
It’s a definite possibility. It just requires the devs to actually admit they were wrong.

Until it becomes 4v4 xDDDD
Which may be really fun. Maybe. We’ll see…. In 4-8 years. 
That’s what testing is for.
The game is a constant test. Dps queues are still greater than tanks. Tank isn’t big enough to go back. Not playing it ends up worst for tanks than getting dps/supports that want it back to play tank.
Read it. Still a nonsensical take.
I understand where you are coming from, and I feel like at a glance it makes sense, but then you consider 2 things:
1: Like I pointed out a moment ago, the draw to play tank under these circumstances is completely different from the draw that would be there to play tank under 6v6. Pretending the population from one dictates the population for the other is absurd. Obviously having tons of people q’ing tank could hypothetically work, but pretending this is the only way and telling opposing opinions to shut up and suffer more is laughably unintelligent.
2: Why exactly are you in this forum typing about stuff if you don’t condone being in a forum typing about stuff, and see it as a waste of time. The devs do listen to the community to some degree, I mean otherwise we wouldn’t see a lot of the changes we have in the past (not saying they do a perfect job but honestly I am pretty happy with them right now). At the very least, your argument is hypocritical. Let people say they want something in the game without telling them to do something they clearly dislike. Nonsense.
only thing I had to read honestly
lets be honest, if we really want to save q times, lets remove role q entirely
And tank will continue bleeding players the longer 5v5 continues.
My guy. You can’t put the cart before the horse here. They have to move back to the healthier format so that they can get more players for the role.
Moving to 5v5 has only led to more tank players quitting.

Tank players will still be complaining in 6v6. Devs would have to bring back more CC in the game. Because well run tank synergy just ruins other roles enjoyment.
There are inherent improvements to moving to 6v6.
- The return of the offtank.
- The removal of rock paper scissors tanking.
- Intertank dynamics and synergies are fun and cooperative ways to show skill.
- Less toxic pressure on the tanks on each team since there are now two.
- Synergies allow you to cover for the weaknesses of other tanks. Would dramatically increase the fun of Mauga and Orisa both facing and against. Orisa can only hard CC one of the tanks, not both, and Mauga can do fun brawl synergies with tanks like Rein and Ram.
- The tank role is less stressful, you actually have two players to do the job of two players, enabling good, consistent peel.
I can go on.
It’s a better format.

It’s not a better format. 6v6 is literally who had better Tank synergy wins. Build up 3 or more ults to win a team fight. Wasn’t less stressful because always see Tanks complaining about too much CC.
