Would tanks be reverted in 6v6?

General Discussion

Curious with everyone that wants 6v6

Like would my Orisa get suction ball?

Would road regain instant kills?

Oh my god I forgot about Orisa’s mini graviton surge…

They wouldn’t be reverted that far, they’d probably just have their cd’s tweaked to not be completely busted when stacked.

Skill issue. I kill Sombra on Juno. I do have a lot of practice killing Sombra though. She always misses her virus, because I strafe.

Maybe, idk. I’d want to keep Javelin, so it’s Fortify that would need to go in exchange for that and I’m not sure that’s a good idea. Definitely no full revert, though, she’s good without a shield. Her and Sig having long-lasting deployable shields has always been a problem. Ram is kind of fine with that since his shield isn’t that powerful (limited to his goofy form and all that).

I’d say so, yes. Full revert in this case.

I’d keep Doom and Rein as-is outside of the obvious number changes. Winston’s right-click is probably also fine, but I’m not set on that. Balance aside, it’s just more fun.

I can’t really see why they’d revert anyone’s kits except Zarya, double bubble would be hilariously broken in 6v6.

(already making the assumption everyone gets number nerfs)

  • Dva - No real changes, just numbers

  • Sigma - same as Dva

  • Orisa - already hated in OW1

  • Hog - already hated in OW1

  • Ball - His “rework” was pretty much just QOL changes anyways.

  • Rein - Would probably lose 1 fire strike or have damage nerfed to like 60 each, and maybe charge steering would be reverted, but it’d feel terrible to remove charge cancelling

  • Winston - His OW2 changes were pretty minor. Maybe he loses true damage? But his DPS is low enough vs most the relevant characters I don’t see why, pretty much only Brig and Torb would be affected.

The only real ? is doomfist but i don’t see him going back to DPS, he was too problematic then. He’s still kind of annoying but not even a top 5 most annoying character anymore while his usage stats are normally pretty healthy.

I don’t think they’d be reverted to their old gameplay styles, no. Doomfist would not become a DPS either. That’s not what anyone has in mind when they want 6v6 back lol. at least reasonably.

8

Ugh. I can barely steer as of now with his Wii-Wheel nonsense. One extra player means I have a higher chance of randomly shoulder checking someone when I go in alone, at least.

9

Health definitely will but I don’t think they will go back on the reworks, Orisa will still be barrier less and doom will still be a tank

Maybe, but no shield. If she gets ball, it should probably replace the spear.

He has them now. But I don’t think the oneshot was nearly as bad when he was consistently killable so you could punish him if he wasted hook.

A lot of tank changes are numbers or quality of life. The QoL should stay (rein cancels pin, monke sniper, etc.) but the numbers need to go back down to some semblance of balance.

And then there are changes like the zarya bubble thing or the failed hog rework that should be properly reverted.
