So I haven’t played the game for almost 2 years now since they f’d it up with 5v5.
What is all the sudden 6v6 talk about? Is 2/2/2 a thing again?
Please bring me up to date - I would love to check if at least 1 or 2 of my old Tank Duo buddies would be up for returning to this game.
We don’t know. Probably maybe could be
I can ask chatgpt to sum it up

They were talking about 1/3/2, which is awful. We had this experiment, it was bad…

I hope so but before they bring it back they need to lower alot of stats for all roles right now everything is way to power creeped specailly the tank

No. Chances are that it won’t come back in any meaningful way, but the devs are open to exploring its viability in the coming seasons.

They’re doing internal testing on 6v6 options but gave no details of what it will look like or when we’ll see it.
I’m not holding my breath on anything 6v6 related until actual concrete information is available.

Maaaan…
That’s even worse than 1/2/2

They said they might try 6v6 again in about 8 months at the shortest, but probably won’t bring 2-2-2 back because queue times would be too long.

Come back in a year, because thats the timeframe we have to expect a test at the earliest time.

6v6? Maybe
222? Most likely not
Some sort of flex queue or role limited version? Probably

Yup, what Baja said.
Could be months before the 6v6 trials come out…

Please don’t, it’s very inaccurate. Even when it’s ready line from line, it can just make things up as it doesn’t have the context behind any of this.
Yea I think I was just being more sarcastic than serious
Like when people say “I haven’t played X game in 5 years. What’s new?”

I think even with limited info ChatGPT knows more about OW than actual OW player that plays it
if true, I expected no tank will Q this mode and the dev can proudly say 6v6 doesnt work, see?!
the trials is said to be around season 13, a quickplay hacked though so its not going to be around for long

I doubt it
Its just speculation at this point, nobody really knows fs. devs are looking at maybe returning it as a second gamemode? but thats a ways off.

Short answer, maybe.
Long answer, maybe something similar but it almost certainly won’t bear much resemblance to Overwatch 1 - because Damage queue times had too significant of an impact on player-retention.
I suspect a lot of 6v6-proponents will think Tanks are way too strong in any ‘new’ version of 6v6/2-2-2 that comes back. But they will need to be because they’ll need people to actually queue for the role.

Devs confirmed they are going to be running weeks-long tests sometime around season 13.
Well that’s true. They won’t be focusing on balancing heroes, they will be focusing on monetization, because that’s what netease does. (who ironically is a mobile game studio).
