It wouldn’t be my first suggestion, but I’m starting to get convinced that the best thing Blizzard can do is grant us access to OW1. Split the players between those who prefer the original game and those who like the “sequel”, because it seems to be the only thing Blizzard can do that will be met with approval.
I’d probably play it but I don’t want OW1 classic. I want 6v6 in OW2. I’d rather have a 6v6 arcade mode if that’s what it takes and even if the only change they make is a global health nerf to tanks.
no, people just need to stop with the selfish and entitled mindset or just cry and stamp ones feet until you get what you want like a baby.
It should be accepted what we are given and adapt to suit the environment.
not force to change to what we want and the environment to suit you.
accept reality that not everyone gets a participation award, and you just have to take the lumps thrown at you. or just move on to something more agreeable to you
Blizzard shot themselves in the foot by not sticking to just a casual quickplay mode and hardcore competitive mode. All that time and money wasted on useless modes that never saw the light of day or were abandoned.
to blizzard theyre not outdated. going 5v5 was solely because blizzard listened to the comp crowd over the casual quickplay crowd. 5v5 forced overwatch to be played like it had no gamemode other than comp. pick off meta heroes? youre stomped. dont want to group up with friends to play? lol. get stomped. no physical effort to establish communications with teammates? stomped. want to try a new hero? stomped. does your tank blow and they have no other tank to help pick up the slack? stomped and teamkilled. make a simple mistake? stomped.
5v5 allows for absolutely no messing around, you MUST play 5v5 like its a comp match otherwise youll just lose.
overall 6v6 was far healthier for the average player and all criticism i saw came only from comp players.
At the very least, blizz can let us pick game modes so that I don’t have to dodge maps and only play quick play. Half of the people leaving are because they don’t like the mode so I don’t see the issue with letting people pick what they wanna play.
Where you pulling this number from? 50% seems like a giant leap to take without any proper unbiased polls on this.
No way having both 5v5 and 6v6 queues would work out. 6v6 queues would suffer most. Think tank queues were bad before? Imagine how it will be now.
Not to mention that they would have to balance around two completely different game modes at once. Devs struggle enough balancing the main game mode as is. Don’t think we need to start asking the impossible of them on top of that.
Tanks might be the only ones queuing for that mode though… no DPS or Support would want to sit in a queue for 50 minutes to find a 6v6 game, hoping their tanks play nice together. If not, you better be ready to spend a game getting stomped and wait for another 50 minutes.
