Trying to think outside of the box

We know that 6v6 has its own set of issues opposed to the issues of 5v5. Swapping systems only swaps your problems, which means it a pick your poison situation. But it wont solve the fundamental issues.

The fundamental issue is that tank play isnt as fun as dps play while tanks are necessity to make the gameplay work.
The game would be the most fun if everybody could play what they want to play without being reliant on what your teammates run.

So my idea would be to redesign the game to make every player more selfsufficent.
Maybe we could have deplloyable items on the map like healthpacks which help to fulfill roles which might not be covered by teammates.

What if you could pick up a one time use deployable barrier? Or other defensive mean to hold the frontline? Then the necessity for a tank player would lessen.

There’s 0 issues with 6v6. There’s issues with balance and role lock.

Ok well we know that’s not true. There’s a reason we went to role queue after all.

And if you want to tell me open queue issues were balance issues then idk man overwatch has never been balanced

I mean theres being disingenuous…and then theres just being flat out ignorant

Assuming you meant role lock

Yes, we went to role lock because it was an easy way to get rid of goats.

Goats was absolutely a balance issue seeing as it never existed before Brig and Marvel Rivals goats sucks.

Indeed. mb.

99% of the playerbase wasn’t playing goats. They were playing 5 dps. It’s own issue.

Quad tanks is right there but sure I guess it’s not “goats” since goats is specifically 3-3
