They literally can’t. The game is built around 6v6. How would that even work?

People want checkers, not chess it seems and to make a quick buck, Blizzard appears to be delivering that to them.
All the footage at Blizzconline appears to suggest a new 1-2-2 setup.

There are different ways to abuse a tank or DPS heavier composition. A single tank has never been able to defend supports and to me supports become the weak link to target for both tank and DPS. Pick a self-sufficient tank such as Winston or Hammond, then bulldoze supports with DPS.

Unless they highly change how the game function I don’t think it will go forward. I’m not complaining though. 5v5 would mean less people on the field which would help fps. Low fps crew over here
I hope it doesn’t. There’s supposed to be a main tank and an off tank. How would you play around a hog or a Dva? Even Zarya would be somewhat difficult
Exactly. If it for some reason happens I wouldn’t be too mad. More fps

It makes the game significantly less complex - which is sad. Tanks will be brawly damage shields, and the removal of 2CP supports the theory indirectly. Games will be focused on “kill da tank - profit” like it was during the 1-3-2 XP card test.
A lowly 1060 will run this game in almost full settings at 1080p… I mean the hardware to run this game is very low…

I know. The game would run slightly better since there is less going on which for me is a huge win. But it’s pretty much the only positive thing out of this
Did you see the 1/3/2 experiment last year?
That’s probably what will happen.
Hog is going to be a DPS
And all tanks would get massive reworks/buffs
Don’t underestimate how bad my pc is

I’m trying to view OW2 as a brand new game as opposed to an iteration on Overwatch, but I’ll admit the idea of 5v5 is deeply worrying to me.
Who’s going to peel for all of those speedy DPS? How are tanks like D.Va and Zarya going to stay relevant without becoming overpowered? And OP you’re right, how do you stop every single match from being tank difference?

Its a step down while telling you its a step up. Not surprisingly DPS is happy, Supports are like meh…

Hope people help me advocate for 7v7. I think it bring alot of benefits with little downsides.

Make it a 100 v 100 royal deathmatch.
I think the fact that they didn’t officially announce 122 means that it’s not set in stone. It’s still possible that they can’t get 122 to a place they’re happy with, like what might have happened to 132 before it.
I’d much prefer 5v5. Overwatch is enough of a clutter as it is right now.
Adding another DPS into the mix will just erode the value of teamplay and turn the game into a noisy mess.

5v5 would suck, because you brake tank synergy and you could easily end up in a situation where there is that 1 tank which is clearly the best at all situations, which could mean a balancing nightmare.
Especially if you rework them all into being brawlers and they are all just mainly focused on offense. The one who get picks the easiest way will be picked all the time.
Not to mention any one player being dead weight or even having a leaver is way more detrimental in a 5v5 vs a 7v7. Because you lose 1/5 of your team instead of just 1/7.
