Alright. Long tim flex player here. And I’ve got to say…
6v6 isn’t actually it.
Not in this form. Or not with these modes.
After 2CP we get flashpoint. Which is basically 3cp. This is dumb. I didn’t know it was a thing but come on Overwatch 2 players. This is not worth it.
I kind of believed in 6v6. But in the end, everything Overwatch 2 added killed that mode. The new modes are uninteresting, the new heroes are even worse than cc, nobody is playing tank (and as a flex player, with lifeweveaver cancelling the Reinhart charge, I kind of see why.)
Blizzard purposefully made it so 6v6 can’t be viable anymore. DPS aren’t enjoying themselves (what a surprise). Support carry the weigh of the world. Tanks can’t even move a finger without getting countered.
This just isn’t what we had in mind for 6v6.
If this is what 6v6 is to be, then let the 5v5 folks have this game.
I look forward to Overwatch Classic. But the game changed too much to make 6v6 enjoyable.
Ya I feel like you might be correct here. A proper open queue balancing is in order. 6v6 (or 5v5 with proper tank balancing) no lock is what can make ow great. The downwards spiral has happened ever since they added role queue greatly in part due to the queue times and matchmaking issues it introduced. We will see soon with their balancing and 3 max 1 min mode coming but it feels like that might be the best option.
I personally love Flash and Clash.
But I know full well all 3 of the OW2 modes are worse than 2CP lol.
Flash at least can work in the 6v6 format so I think it should stay, but the other two are centred around the constant fast paced movement of deathmat- I mean 5v5.
So but like, are you saying the format isn’t the problem the problem is overwatch added content you don’t like? I’m reading that correctly?
If so I mean I kind of get the complaint, since I’ve had many games add updates which just killed the enjoyment for me after spending hundreds or thousands of hours playing. Though to be honest it doesn’t bother me that much, I just moved on to games I do like, I only play a handful a year after all and so many new ones come out all the time
Both teams fight over 1 point at a time. Cap
It and hold it from the enemy. It is a variation of king of the hill. Same cap and hold, just faster and the point moves around instead of starting another round.
Flashpoint is most similar to koth than any other mode. Not the exact same, but similar.
Junk City I really only like the first point of with the lil arena. Should’ve made it bigger honestly, most of the fighting happens outside of it.
The other points just feel bland to me
