Iād say put in next to 5v5 and letās just see what happens for 2 weeks. Itās really pointless to keep arguing. Just add it and letās see what everyone thinks when the rose tinted glasses are taken off and the excuses canāt be made for either side of the opinion. If they can both live side by side awesome. If one is clearly better then keep it. For once just let us decide this one thing please.

āItās only bad because everythingās still designed for 5v5. We need a full revert to OW1.ā
Iām not saying it would be bad, but thatās the first thing people would say if it were.
Lower hp and thatās it. Screw it. Itās not about how balanced it is itās about who gravitates to it.

I wouldnāt. Changes sure, a full revert is an absolutely awful idea. 6v6 in the OW2 environment should be the goal really. Then again, the amount of CC at the moment since this last patch and the addition of venture is not a good trend. Even if everything stays 5v5, cc needs to start being walked back (or at least in terms of how it affects the tank role anyway).

Queue times would be problematic for 6v6 to be in the main mode.
Problem with 6v6 is it require a minimum amount of effort, what these incompetents are no longer capable of. You need to let go of 250 HP, and at least nerf tanks in a logical way for 6v6 ā not just blanket 150 HP reduction like in open queue.
Thats too hard for them.
They couldnāt balance OW1 for the entirely of itās lifespan, so Iām not surprised. That being said, I think they could come up with a custom rule set that would work, because they did it with Total Mayhem.
Nerf tanks accordingly and letās try it out.
Double shield isnāt a thing anymore and there isnāt as much CC as OW1ā¦ A lot of the issues that hurt tank in OW1 arenāt as bad anymore.
I think Blizz being silent or flat out ignoring the demand to at least TRY is making it bigger than it really is.
No, put 5v5 in the arcades.

5v5 and role queue have been the two biggest mistakes this game has had.
Overwatch disappeared since 2019 after changing to role queue.
Overwatch 2 is the most hated game since it came out and received a 1.5 from user reviews on Metacritic and did not change after more than a year when it arrived to Steam.
Most people didnāt like many of the changes that came with OW2.
Role queue =
+ Queue times
- Options/creativity
5v5 =
+ Stomps
+ Rock, paper, scissors
- Team play

ALL of that. Why should be some sub-mode in the arcade? We can totally have it be a mode in regular QP. In arcade itād be on some random rotation that ends up never showing up, especially during āeventsā. No Limits isnāt a sub-mode of QP either (you know, the way game launched back in 2016). We can have Mystery Heroes under unranked, we can have this as well.
It really wonāt. 6v6 with 5v5 balance wonāt make anyone happy. Itās the worst of both worlds.
Not that Iād be against it, the closer we get to actually figuring out if 6v6 is better or worse the better. Thereās a very minor chance that even a horribly balanced 6v6 mode is more fun for people than a āmediocrelyā balanced 5v5 mode and Iād be on fire if I got to witness that.
They can revert the changes and have it run itās own rules. Just like Mirrorwatch and Total Mayhem. It would take time and resources, but itād be 100% worth it.

Nah let 6v6 stay dead. āBring back 6v6ā and ā6v6 was betterā threads are top tier entertainment. Would be a shame to not read them anymore
If you put it in the arcade then people who like it can play it. Youāll get more players that way, and everyone wins.

I personally would prefer that 5v5 be the mode that is laid to rest
Many many others have stated the same
