keep 1 tank and put 3 damage in. nerf tank damage a bit buff their survival a bit and bobs your uncle.
this would be a lot worse than the current 5v5 format, but it does justify all the gigabuffs

The whole problem with 5v5 is that there is only one tank.
1-3-2 is probably better than 1-2-2, but it’s likely still worse than 2-2-2, especially considering we literally tested it already. How about 2-3-2? 7v7? Potential technical limitations aside.

Nerf tank while they have to play against ANOTHER DPS? No, thank you. I prefer just… Not.

7v7 would be pushing the engine limitations, if it can barely handle 6v6, 7v7 is probably not going to happen
Yeah, technical limitations are the obvious issue. I hope when they’re working on improving performance they might, potentially, make 7v7 viable, too.
Doubeful, but ay, let me cope.

the OW1 engine could probably handle 7v7 better than the newer engine
but id imagine updating the engine to do so would be a massive update, basically OW3

Enough said, don’t feel like to be more depended by 3 unintelligent when 2 is already bad enough.
I believe the devs experimented with three DPS at one point, and said it felt like a nightmare for the poor supports.

It was tested in the past. Don’t know about the results but they completely deleted the topic like it never existed in the first place lmao.
Like we still cannot avoid 10-20 people as promised lol.
Yup, they did.

If the tanks stay at their current power level 2 tanks would make the game literally unplayable. They would have to be NUKED for 6v6 to work the old way again
When queue times wer being an issue, they actually tested his already in a mode in OW1. It ddidnt work for them so they went to 1-2-2.
The problem with an experimental mode like this is that the game doesn’t actually balance for it. So yeah… 3 damage at the time was probably a nightmare because every other hero was built around a 5v5 or a 2-2-2 model when they tested it… That’s why experimenting doesn’t work unless you do like an actual season of it with balancing changes for that experiment.
i am pretty sure they said it wasnt good
im pretty sure the links in that post has some relevance
Are you just saying things to say things? 
Like… you said yourself that balance is a key component here. Obviously 2-2-2, 2-3-2 or 1-3-2 would require balance changes.

Yes, obviously which is why any 6v6 experiment they do will fail miserably if it has 2 tanks which was my point. They aren’t going to balance the game around an experimental mode when comp still exists. That’s my entire point of saying that 2 tanks at the current power level would be universally hated.
But you also said they should balance to make 1-3-2 work:
I’m confused.

I think you might just be on drugs or something.
I’m literally saying they should make these changes and just straight implement them into the game for a season at a time AS THE EXPERIMENT and that goes for my idea too.
Same goes for 2 tanks, then
