the next 6v6 playtest is swapping to a 6v6 open queue format with a max hero role limit where you can only have 2 heroes in 1 role, and then that role cant be picked by the other 4 players unless one of the tanks swap.
i hope that made sense, i yapped unnecessarily long.
nevermind this is the correct answer.

Yes, I’m pretty sure the min 1, max 3 is the next 6v6 experiment. They’ve mentioned it a few times now.
“Later on, we’ll try a new experiment with 6v6 that will play similar to a Quick Play Hacked we tried last season, where up to three heroes of a single role can be on a team, but there has to be at least one hero in each role. The goal with this rule set is to allow greater freedom of hero choice while still ensuring that each team has a semi-balanced roster. If we were to ever make 6v6 a permanent part of the game, this version would eliminate the queue time issues that we had in the past. This Max 3, Min 1 ruleset will come later this season and could have some balance tweaks based off of the current 6v6 mode. We hope to see some competitive and intense action in both of these experiments.”
