It warms my heart

That people are finally admitting here that 5v5 was a mistake.

Another point for the Doomers, who were practically prophets at this point.

Another sad day for OW :frowning:

Few meta tanks? Check
Dumbed down gameplay? Check
Fodder Support? Check
No peel? Check
OP Hitscans? Check

Anyone with a brain was saying this ever since the first 5v5 reveal

If people agree with Tank mains on the forums then you know there is a really big trouble indeed.

I just want both 5v5 and old OW1 6v6 to exist so both sides can be happy playing their own broken mess.

I defended 5v5 for a while, but Iā€™m starting to turn. I genuinely had fun with it in the betas and season 1, but I dunno man getting further into it I feel like itā€™s done a lot of damage to the game as a whole.

5v5 is way better as a DPS mainly. Duo barriers were dumb.

ā€œpeopleā€ ā€¦ yeah we all know who and they are a minority so nah.
Good luck holding your breath for 6v6 coming back though.

Not to me (at least in Open Queue QPC) Most games had 0-5-1 and only went 1 tank to counter the hard pushes. 2 was desperate but I usually left satisfied cause people went tank only if they had to or wanted to.

Ha, yeah right. I have a feeling itā€™s splt down the middle on those liking 5v5 and 6v6. Read the forum post, people have been quite vocal about it.

I donā€™t mind it not sure how much of the negative is just survivor bias or actual concern,
also forum posts generally are not the best gauge as majority threads are in the negative.
So players generally either are happy and off playing the game, or not and venting on forums.

Went into advanced search and found my earliest criticism of 5v5 right after reveal

Its best not to engage with Hyphen. He doesnā€™t have the best reputation around here.

Yeah freely being able to do whatever you want without contest from a off tank so fun man 10/10 i rather play COD at this point.

Ironic coming from youā€¦ :rofl:

Just because people disagree with your and/or are realistic about the game doesnā€™t mean they have a ā€œbad reputationā€ on the forums. God forbid someone not complain about every aspect of the game on here and instead like some things. :roll_eyes:

Buddy you have more forced VACations from this forum than probably everyone in this thread, cmon now.

Nah I ask for evidence when people throw outrageous claims and counter them with things that are observable with logic, that triggers people a lot.
ā€¦ Just like pointing out the ā€œ5v5 sucksā€ crew is a minority, even in the forums. The rest of millions of players are just playing the game.

Thats just how it is :man_shrugging:

No barrier does not mean no contest. Simple minded logic.

5v5 was a great move. The game is much better now.

If you want to sink your own reputation by defending Hyphen, I canā€™t stop you man.

There were so many that called this out-so many. If I were on my main account Iā€™d prove it but it got a forum silence until February. And its said because I love this game and Iā€™ll be here until the end-but O2 is just not fun and I refuse to be their crappy skins. Which by the way are all the skins that should have been available in O1 during the 2 years of no updates-but they held onto them to sell them to us now. That battle pass has no consistent theme to it-bugs, discos, and Gods.

5v5 is really good if you make custom lobbies where kiriko and sojourn are locked.
While you couldnā€™t make 6v6 decent without locking half the roster

5v5 annoys meā€¦ in its total absence of rules in open queue and arcade modes. it is clear that the game has not taken those balances into consideration and ignores them more than it already did with the 2-2-2. and now? they are all trash modes, if you donā€™t play 5v5.
