You'll still be able to play 2 tanks in Open Queue

[Holka-21689]

Think about it.
Because tanks will be buffed to be played alone, tank duos will have such a good time in Open Queue.

[Octo24-2955]

Oh boi, goats 2.0?

[Yourself-11293]

They would have to balance open q separately otherwise it would be more of a mess than it already is.

[JonStriker-11942]

I doubt it. That would be like them balancing for arcade modes, such as FFA. I don’t think it’s going to happen

[Holka-21689]

Yeah, it probably won’t happened.
Goats 2.0 should be great.

[Knighthood-21706]

In yesterdays ama they said that 6v6 modes are most probably going to be removed.

I addressed this matter in here as well if anyone is interested:

@Knighthood-21706

#5
Make a 2/2/2 Role Q Quick Play and Ranked mode permanently available in the Arcade.

I know that it is unrealistic to expect separate balance changes for 6v6 and 5v5, but just as much as you expect your fellow Tank players to respect your decision and give 5v5 a fair chance, you should not disrespect them by making it impossible for them to have some fun with their old Tank Duo friends.
In the recent AMA you said that this might not be happening because of balance concerns, but Arcade modes have never been very balanced to begin with and yet a lot of people like to play them.

Also who knows, maybe 2/2/2 Role Q with super buffed Tanks is working much better than you expect it to do?

oh
so goats with moira lucio backline

Yeah. Open Queue will probably 5v5. Doesn’t matter? You can still pick two or even three tanks and they might get better than tanks were when goats was a thing.

[ZanyDruid-1191686]

Yeah Open queue is probably gonna get removed lol. The main reason they added it was to address queue times which theyre trying to fix with 5v5. Open queue cant really work if tanks are gonna be giga dps. Otherwise it will just be 3 tanks 2 support mirror games, if people actually wanted to win that is. And if that becomes so consistently easy to win, competitive will be irrelevant if people are able to climb to top 500 by playing 3 tanks 2 supports because its so busted

They want to remove it because of balance concerns.
Remove, not change it to 5v5 - that wouldn’t help at all with the balance issues.

Goats 2.0 should be great.

Yeah. But it won’t matter though. If it happens, it’ll be in the arcade or open competitive or something. You know a mode they don’t actually care about.

[QuantumElf-11792]

No, you won’t. They confirmed this is not the case.

[jrg7777-1411]

You’re gonna have to wait for Overwatch Classic in 14 years if you want to OQ or 6v6 again.

[Baja-11423]

I couldn’t have a more normal time on there…plus no queue…with every year the only conclusion I’ve been able to draw is that people enjoy being in a queue…cause if 90-95% of my games are 222 anyway in there than that’s the only logical conclusion I can draw

5v5 should be…interesting

[ĿȀŖǠǂ1ǾǂƑPŜǃ-2660]

It really doesn’t matter. The game will be balanced around 5v5 and nobody will take 6vs6 seriously anymore. It will be a clown fest like no limits or classic are now.

[FusionPower-2473]

I still hope for a simple Arcade mode with 6v6, even with the upcoming 1-2-2 Hero balances. I mean, “Total Mayhem” works great there. 6v6 can’t be worse then.
But even if I don’t play ranked, I will miss 6v6 in quickmatch mode. I’m sure we will also get 5v5 there.

How did Sammy Hagar sung once: “I can’t drive 5v5” or so…
