all team who want to win will run 3 tanks, 2 sups and one dps. you can bet if 6v6 min1 max3 was in any kind of tournament the dps would be mei 100% of the games. its goats without the 3rd support.
6v6 should keep the flex format but always cap dps to min 2. having 2 dps as standard is the only way to play 6v6 and actually balance it.
1-2 tanks
2-3 dps
1-2 supports
Why would they do that?
3 tanks will just be a **** show, all tank players know this. I can guarantee this idea came up in a drunken conversation. Which is understandable as it’s near christmas. In my first ever admin job back in the 90s somebody brought in a crate of beer during xmas period so we were working and getting hammered at the same lol. So I’ve been there
Makes way more sense to me to just cap tank and support to max 2 instead and uncap dps…
Probably. It might also depend on what other changes they do balance wise, particularly with passives. This current version is still only a 5 days in and maybe we’ll see some other adjustments? Who knows with the holidays coming.
I can say it does happen a lot in the 5v5 Open Queue but you’d be surprised how much people also swap around compositions when it ain’t working. Like they go the desperate extra DPS pick or something to see if they can turn things around.
We’ll see. I think the main benefit of the mode is a compromise between role queue and open queue which could help with queue times so idk, we’ll see. I just hope the devs find something a good chunk of the community likes and works for most people.
Uncapping DPS will just be a horror show for every single game. There’s too many selfish players out there I found in OW1 before role Q came in. Before role Q games were miserable
It’s going to be 3 tanks and 3 supports, DPS will be obsolete in open 6v6.
But the problem is everyone is a DPS main…
Conundrum…
Is there a link to this information?
No of course not I’m talking out my
I’m saying if we get 6v6 open queue, 3 tanks 3 supps is optimal comp ala goats
Edit NVM I guess it’s not open queue it’s 3max 1min
Either way the closer to 3 tanks 3 supps the better
Because they are not allowed to have 0 DPS. In 6v6 the only reason you pick DPS is because the game forces you to do so. It was true in OW1 and is true now.
Sure, but that’s the whole point of open queue with role limits. Queue times are fine, players are happy because they can play the role they want and no GOATS.
You literally just want role queue, nothing wrong with that, but they are not testing role queue in that patch. Maybe later, idk. I’d love to see the outcome on queue times.
Fair point
(20 chars etc etc)
Idk, 3 tanks sounds like asking to be bullied by a reaper, but something like sig/rein/ram might be awful to fight.
Outside of triple barrier, I can’t imagine any tank comp that would be horrible to fight.
But, to be safe, maybe it should be max 3 dps/support, max 2 tanks.
That ain’t going to happen. I main Reaper when DPSing and he feels bad, so with 3 tanks it will be utter hell. And in live OW he’s just clunky has hell. Yeah may be strong, but kit wise he’s so bad compared to other hero’s it’s depressing as hell.
Reaper will not have an effect at all.
And as a tank player I do not want 3 tanks in this game, that is something that WILL make me stop playing full stop.
i don’t you overestimate how much people are willing to play tank to win LMAO, this does not happen, no matter how much tanks are good in a certain patch, goats its literally just historical proof about that, no matter how much people talk about how op it was NOBODY was playing that because they simply dont want to
Can people please stop mentioning GOATS. MY PTSD is going into overdrive right now…
I think 2-2-2 would be absolutely fine.
It feels like they’ve somehow found a balance for tank, where they are tanky enough to have plenty of solo play potential, while also preserving synergies. It makes it way more fun to play tank than OG 6v6 somehow, while keeping them still killable.
Rein is a bit of an outlier — they should keep his 2 Fire Strikes, and better steering, and keep his barrier 1600.
Maximum defence and health pool with the most optimum healing
As a Rein main when tanking…and it may sound like bias…but I agree. I’ve played both versions of Rein and the early versions of Rein are just god awful. At times it got so bad I had to swap to Orisa-and I hate Orisa with an absolute passion due to how much of a fun killer she truly is. And I mean that as how unfun she is to play, and to play against.
For me, everything else other than Rein feel like they can actually do things on their own in this test. Hazard is an extreme of this — dude is ridiculous in 5v5!
