I don’t understand why they’re making it so complicated when the solution is simple. I’ve raised many points, and most people agree.
Solution: Remove 5v5, bring back 6v6. Remove role passives, bring back the old lethal damage, and weaken tanks. That’s the solution, then try whatever system you want. I’m sure the perk system will fit much better with this.
I was really hopeful about the new season, it’s not the perks that are the problem. 5v5 ruins everything.
Look at Marvel Rivals, every character is extremely deadly. Healers almost fully heal their health bars despite being attacked by 3-4 people. Tanks are neither invincible nor underpowered. It’s not perfectly balanced, but at least it makes you feel the responsibilities of your role. Right now, the only downside is the lack of a role-selection matchmaking system. Once they implement that, it’ll be a huge step forward.
The low healing caused by low damage and the cauterize system really ruins the game. 5v5 is already a huge nonsense on its own.
So stop looking for the problem in the perk system.

It’s ironic that Blizzard is returning a lot of things from the original game as well as planning to put soon hero bans yet they still push 5v5.
The addition of the perks just proved that 5v5 was pointless and with all the features coming up as well as hero bans, this statement is cemented. If hero bans were put in 3 top ranks, if brig was properly nerfed and if OW1 got steady amount of content then we wouldn’t be talking about 5v5 but rather perks alone.
After Overwatch classic moth mode has ended i tried this new perk system and really if this system was implemented in 6v6 then chaos would have trough the roof. Even with perks the gameplay is still kind of same. There are 2 possibilities:
- Your team prepares and after just one player (most notably tank) goes down then the whole team goes as well like a big stomp
- You just walk waiting for a opportunity and then quickly killed.
If the devs want to drop 2 from the title then that would be an insult towards OW1 who had all these years 6v6 whilst 5v5 came to fix somehow all the problems and was part of a boxed product called OW2. Until they bring 6v6 back, they must keep 2 in the title to show us that:
- 2x more stomps
- 2x less chaos
- 2x more promised content and lost
- 2x more powercreep
- 2x less lore
- 2x less cinematics
- 2x more toxicity (especially towards tanks)
and most notably 2 LESS PLAYERS ON THE MAP.
