Doesn’t matter much unless we get 6v6 open queue. 6v6 with locked 2/2/2 can’t work under any circumstance.
I like this current version idea, open queue but locking the number of tanks to max 2. Anytime you get more than 2 tanks the match goes lopsided. Support should probably get the same treatment though.
Agreed! The Max 2 Tank format is pretty much ideal. Having 4 Supports or 4 DPS will be strange to say the least, but I doubt we’ll see it very often
My preferred mode would be a min1/max2 for Tank and Support so you could run anything from 2-2-2 to 1-4-1. But that’s probably just dreaming.
I wonder if like, with this “test,” if it would be possible to see the numbers of players that play 6v6 comp, and ALSO the number of players that play 6v6 classic?
Nice. I like it.
Id probably have the same thing, but Min2 for Tank but Min1 for DPS and Support. Basically RQ but with the ability to swap roles.
Just a guess, but Classic will likely run for the last couple of weeks of the season (like last season), after the LE SSERAFIM event.
6v6 Competitive will likely start with the midseason patch.
Having said that, it’s kinda funny that we’ve gone from “people will clearly prefer 6v6 if you just run a test” to “why are you splitting the small 6v6 community by running two 6v6 modes at the same time??”
Is there an ETA for the midseason patch?
Should be this coming tuesday alongside the new Le Sserafim colab
Thank you!
Really excited for more 6v6!

I mean, we just want the stats of our comp players, as the qp mode doesn’t give enough data to say if its worth replacing or running both modes side by side, so having the option to queue 6v6 comp will show how many people genuinely want it back. If they make more balance changes prior to releasing the mode, it’ll be good
THIS. 6v6 players are constantly saying they need to remove OW2 changes as if adding one extra players means bringing back OW1.
I also agree that they aren’t really balancing the play test but I just don’t think they are going to pour resources into doing hero reworks lol
The sad part of that though is that Hawk and other GMs balanced a 6v6 mode in custom games over more than a year and produced a detailed set of patch notes with all changes that they even updated after the major S9 changes.
And instead of using that as their base, which included balance for all heroes and was a well-loved custom game, they just reduced tank HP and threw it out there.
A bit of a disgrace really. Just showing they don’t really care as it would require effort.
Pretty much treating it the same way they treat arcade modes which are ghost-towns because they won’t make the tweaks they need to be fun.
