I’ll admit that I don’t know how hard this would be implement but it seems obvious to me that 7v7 is the way to go with a 2-3-2 format.
There is clearly a high demand to play dps. The only way to meet this demand is to increase the supply of dps slots, but most players would prefer at least two tanks and two healers per team; So the obvious solution, in my mind, is to just add a dps slot per team. Tanks & supports might even get some needed buffs to balance out the extra damage that they’ll have to fight against.
They said that it’s not impossible, but would be “extremely” costly because of the technological restraints…The way he worded it made it sound like it’d be a herculean effort on their part.
As much as I’d love to see 2-3-2 happen (because I personally don’t like the idea of trading a tank slot for a dps slot, myself), I’m just going to assume that its something that we should never expect to see, or at the very least not anything we can expect within the near future.
Though I’m still going to hope it’s able to get implemented anyway.
I’m now starting to think that 7v7 is NOT to much to ask for.
They are making an Overwatch 2 and asking us to buy a new game. Maybe they should put the work in instead of just adding a campaign mode & just recycling the current multiplayer.
They are game developers creating a new game. “It’s too much work” isn’t getting sympathy from me anymore
7v7 and even many more players in one map has been done in custom games with little to no issues.
The only issue I see is consoles, which shouldn’t even dictate the PC side of things, which is the focal point.
You are wrong. Overwatch needs to be 5v5, with two tanks, two supports and ONE dps.
DPS players need to stop pretending the game is centered around them.
If we ever get an availability for more than 12 per match, my guess would be following the release of OW2
We are all enjoying the content, devs can go dark and spend some of the immense cash they just made on ow2 and try a 14-16 person match.
Since OW2 will likey not be out in the next 10 months roughly by next Blizzcon this also offers time to plan so they can redesign OW2 to at least be technologically capable of 7v7
yeah 7 would have been good but the game was designed around 6. Which is ironic because R6 Siege should have had 6 team members but they wanted an odd number. 2015-2016 was a weird time for game devs.
