So... back to 5v5 i guess

They gotta keep testing it.

I mean, we’ve already “tested” it. For years and years with OW1, so I don’t know what the hold up is… And also, there is an ancient post from Jeff somewhere saying that they tested other formats too but only 6v6 was fun… So they should know better. And I have no earthly idea how they were able to rip apart OW2 and rebalance it around 5v5 during the last 5 minutes of its development, but 6v6 is taking forever.

But no. Gotta keep testing, testing, testing. Then test the tests, and test those tests with more tests, then we gotta test those results with tests, and makes sure those tests past the test.

So maybe in 6 months from now they’ll roll out another blog post going. “Lol, we’re still testing it, lol lol lol, money, lol more cosmetics, lol. Sorry about the game getting no content - like 3 heroes and 3 maps every year, lol, but we testing lol lol”

I doubt there’s much testing going on over the holidays. They were hoping to time these to cause max MR damage and shot themselves in the foot, imo. Again. The whole of OW2 has been this type of thing.

And for OtherBarry: this one wasn’t a joke.

Im cool with recycled testing! The more, the merrier :cool: :sunglasses: :ghost: :cyclone: :scorpius:

Good news! 2-2-2 6v6 Test is still active!

Not everything is set in stone, Things are in flux sometimes even in at the last minute.

We will know when it’s ready basically.

I hope they put this information in the actual game, because most players never come to the forum. As soon as you log-in a pop-up window should show:
:small_orange_diamond:mid-season patch-notes
:small_orange_diamond:6v6 (min 1 max 3) is starting
:small_orange_diamond:Ashe Mythic Weapon

I agree it would be nice to have more announcements like this in the game when you login as well. They could have it in the bottom right like they announce everything else.

Ugh, I´m gonna give it a shot

And I know its going to be broken, but I cannot imagine being worse than 5v5 xD

I hope this doesn´t end up in some sort of sabotage

? The min 1, max 3 test isn’t weird lol. It’s an attempt at making a proper team comp without being forced into RQ which had a bad effect on the game overall. Imo, good idea but wayyyyy too long to execute.

Last I saw, I think today or tomorrow was going to be moth meta though?

I don’t know if I can handle 5v5 again after getting a taste of 6v6. 6v6 is so much more fun it’s almost comical.

It needs to become a permanent QP staple or, even better, one of the competitive modes.

I stopped working out and being manly once I stopped playing Reinhardt. It feels disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

It’s so trash they publicly stated it was popular enough even in its final week that they kept it for an extra week
