i was maining rein, for long time. And lately it has been especially painful. So i played dps, cuz you just click heads. But playing a tank is like smoking, you can quit, but eventually you’ll be back at it. And 6v6 came out and it so much less stress. I am actually having fun

Hot take: I prefer 5v5 as a tank main because of the 5v5 abilities like 2 zarya bubbles, cancelable self healing hog, and the fact that I like less people to worry about

[@megamecha100]

​​​@@TheUltimateSpider removing flaws feels more like a power fantasy than a nuanced pvp experience, and having less people to worry about isn't problematic in concept untill you consider in this case it means two tanks butting heads like 🦏 and everybody staring at the one enemy tank

I’ve enjoyed 6v6 immensely. Tanks are actually killable, and 1 person dying doesn’t automatically lose you the fight. There’s more synergies, and combos. I missed 6v6.

[@Twilight.Princess]

I genuinely haven’t touched 5v5 since 6v6 came out. I used to be a die hard tank player from 2016 all the way to 2022 and I’ve barely touched my role in OW2. I can’t stand 5v5 tanking at all.

[@tau-5794]

The HP and hitbox changes were less about 5v5 and more about bringing OW's gameplay more in line with other shooters, not having any strafe momentum or acceleration means it's very easy to dodge fire compared to other shooters, the bigger hitboxes are meant to counteract the difficulty of aiming, and the larger health pools are meant to keep the TTK similar to pre-S9, with a few changes to damage numbers changed for abilities that aren't aim-intensive.

@@IronMan-jj2fdsolo tanking in MR 6v6 format makes it good lol

[@Voyeur-i6g]

Yea it feels better because the roles are balanced between each other, and balanced even better than ow1 was before it added role queue. Tanks have their purpose but I've seen no tank teams win even in plat1 to diamond, its rare but it can happen. Plus theres very few heros designed to just auto kill tanks, even wolverine is pretty avoidable, and hawkeye needs to land headshots which players don't really start doing until higher ranks where players help you out more often, but hawkeye does need nerfs because when he is unchecked it can give you that ow feeling of just dying for looking at someone wrong 😂 but it's far more rare of an occurrence... also no mauga or orisa style heros... theres like a million reasons marvel rivals feels better but 6v6 is a small reason so if overwatch goes to 6v6 it'll still feel better, just I don't think it's an instant fix to all its much worse issues and especially the new issues going to 5v5 for 2 years will bring that theyll need to deal with for another year probably.

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

@@ccaesers honestly I feel like the 6v6 min 1 max 3 should become the core game mode of OW2 going forward. MR showed us that open q can be really good! It's just the people that need to adapt! Plus adding hero bans on top of this would really make a big shakeup for OW2. But we all know they're more interesting in making kiri skins

[@AnimeOtaku56.]

I’m so glad to see a content creator giving some feedback to the 6v6 tests. He’s also telling people to play the next 6v6 test which is the one I’m most excited for. 6v6 is great but I just personally don’t like role lock. I think min 1 max 3 is going to be what 6v6 looks like in the future because q times have already been an issue in this test and they’d be adding a comp mode.

[@Kingjoffrey12]

I really like the take about nerfing tanks in 5v5 (removing passives too). The way 5v5 is formatted right now, it makes the tank characters defined by their role and not by their individual character. By reducing the overall effectiveness of the role of tank, we will get more variety of gameplay experiences with tank players adapting based on tank playstyles (damage focused, "tanking" focus, canceling focus, disruption focus, etc.) Although, I am also on board for going back to 6v6 ultimately. Easier to carry a teammate having a bad game/throwing, less rigid metas, better casual experience.

[@summonbolt0086]

6v6 is the only fun ive had with the game since ow2 happened and ive played enough to level every battle pass to at least 100. There isnt a single thing that 5v5 does better. Queue times are literally the same unless you are masters or above, and playing in an actual match is a million times more fun on every role. Ive been flex queuing 6v6 the entire time its been out and play like 80% of the heroes and there isnt a single hero that doesnt feel severely better in 6v6 compared to 5v5. 6v6 is the sweet spot and i have yet to hear a single convincing argument against that

[@mal2590]

6v6 is the only fun you've had and you've played that much? Dude OW isn't for you. If literally not a single hero released since OW2 launched you didn't have fun with or enjoy, there's literally zero reasons to keep playing the game unless you just only play games you don't have fun with.

[@summonbolt0086]

@ The new heroes are not why i dont have fun, plenty of the ow2 heroes are fun to play. The problem is the absolute sheer amount of awfulness that 5v5 brings severely outweighs any amount of fun that the gameplay of heroes like JQ/Kiri/Illari/Ram or venture gives me. I absolutely have a blast playing those heroes in 6v6. Ow is for me, I have over 5k hours on the game and have played since 2016 and loved every second of the pre 5v5 days even down to the last second before the servers of ow1 shut down. There isnt a single other multiplayer game that has ever even come close to bringing me the same joy that ow has. I care about the game deeply which is why it hurt so much to be forced to play such an awful format for so long. Ill keep doing it though if it meant 6v6 comes back permanently. They would have never even considered bringing it back if people like me werent still playing the game and being vocal about wanting 5v5 gone. So yes ill say it again because its true, ow is for me, what isnt for me is 5v5 and ow is still by far my favorite multiplayer game even with a soul sucking format. And dont get me wrong i do play other games, i love helldivers 2, smash ult, used to play battlefield 1 and star wars battlefront 2 a lot, rocket league, ive been playing rivals a good amount, the battle royals like fortnite and apex have had their days of being enjoyed, and plenty of others that ive had fun with. Even a shitty format version of ow still beats all of the other multiplayer games i like. I have a million reasons to keep playing ow and i will.

I completed my entire battlepass off of the 6v6 tests, & now I'm halfway through the BP on my backup account playing the 6v6 tests. I've not played a single 5v5 match this season!

[@SHUTENSEPC]

"6v6 test" a test? Do we really need to test it? Like I'm only an ow2 player and as a tank this immediately feels better, not so stressful.

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

Yeah but supp player's stress increases so they'll stick with 5v5 cuz supp players are the ones who buy most of the in-game cosmetics, example:- kiri, juno, mercy.

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

So no 6v6, cuz knowing Blizzard they'll focus on short term profit! Look how feral they're going on with collabs, just cuz their KPOP colab popped off hard, that was just a 1 time thing, but instead they're trying so hard to recreate it, but no collab will ever match the KPOP one!

[@tyrenace6597]

6v6 Benefits DPS and OffTank players, 5v5 benefits supports not having to worry about another tank tryna jump them.

[@TheOnigamer]

Support main and I personally find 6v6 better. Yes they have a second tank but so does your team meaning more peels/protection and a better chance that at least one of your tanks isnt terrible at positioning. Not saying every support feels the same but so far the only character I dislike in 6v6 vs 5v5 is ironically hog lol. All support, damage, and other tanks feel much better imo.

[@eagerinspirit]

Supports are the only role that benefits from 5v5 in any meaningful way and most of the benefits they have in 5v5 are possible in 6v6 with adjustments to their numbers. 6v6 allows for all the things 5v5 enables but with more dynamics and playmaking. It truly is just better.

[@user-bp1pu]

The benefit supports get is that their broken characters are even easier to play and more valuable. 6v6 support has a higher skill ceiling cause you can actually get punished. Instead of getting dove by a winston who cant damage you if you receive any heals. ​@@eagerinspirit

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

​@@TheOnigamerthe thing is, there r 2 kinds of supp players 1) healing style 2) dueling style Back during OW2 launch almost all supp players struggled to adapt to the dueling style supp playstyle. And yes 5v5 shooked away all those supp players who just like to heal more than anything else. But with 6v6 back those old supp playstyle cn be doable again

[@Cruxis_Angel]

What’s crazy is support players were the most negative about 5v5 when OW2 launched. We lost a bunch of OW1 supports. The role got too strong in 5v5 and 6v6 dialed some of that power back. Supports spend the most money tho so unfortunately blizzard will listen to them more

[@azseal2669]

Every single day I've played 6v6, it's been immensely fun as tank and support. As DPS less so, but there's also less pressure from underperforming as DPS. I feel like Zen needs a small bit of tuning back in 6v6 tho. Imo the time before discord wears off should be as it is in 5v5. Oh and reduce the hitboxes somewhat. They're still at 5v5 S9 levels. Also Kiriko got the wrong buff -> her suzu cd should be lowered to be more in line with countering Ana's nade, as it stands Ana can anti more than Kiri can cleanse. All of these are just cooldown tweaks and numbers though. I think everything else is in a good spot. Side note: imo min 1, max 3 should never be a thing otherwise we'll get GOATs again. If you're committed to 5v5, Kingmaker is the way to go but it needs to be hero-specific buffs rather than just yet another role passive.

[@trollofduty007]

I'd counter that I've been having a LOT of fun on DPS in 6v6 Sure I mostly play Tank / Supp, but I've found as DPS things feel much better, especially cause I can 1V1 a tank and they actually go down, they don't just eat 700 damage from me, then squish me like a bug, if I play it smart I can outplay / outfight a tank But I also really enjoy playing Echo with no upper limit on her duplicate health, though tbh there's a LOT of DPS characters I've been playing, and I've found it pretty fun

[@sideeswipe]

They need to give hog is reworked breather back because with heroes like hazard and ram having damage reduction on a meter or unlimited duration it makes hog way less flexible and clunky

[@gargano9104]

[@for3v3xyy0ung]

Agreed I would rather have my breather and tankiness in exchange for my one shot capabilities maybe a fire rate increase would also be nice with a ult cost reduction and hog would feel so much better

[@ZeekyXx]

no hog should be punished for using breather incorrectly in exchange for insane damage potiental you shouldnt be able to just walk away from poor positioning or mistakes reworked breather is poor design and encourages dumb plays from hog

6v6 is better but que time is the biggest issue, i think the best solution for the que times is making people que 2 roles at all times, this will make it so theres more tank ques, you can also add a priority que if you dont get your preffered role after a couple games

[@ZeekyXx]

no you shouldnt be forced to play a role you dont want to for the sake of queue times there only bad cuz tank is boring and theres no comp

[@tau-5794]

I had a game on 6v6 the other day as Ashe, I was 1 shot away from killing a Mauga that had got me alone without any support, despite the stat difference my aim and the lower health pool was enough to make an encounter that would be unwinnable in 5v5 a very close thing, and that's how I feel it should be.

[@Cruxis_Angel]

The dps passive is already oppressive at 15% in 2-2-2. Having to buff it would make supports feel even worse. I don’t see how max 3 is gonna work. Triple tank and 30% dps passive is gonna feel bad

[@jahagkagau6061]

@Cruxis_Angel i play tank, at M1 level and i dont even think the passive is that oppressive in 6V6 because tank coordination can bypass it, but yeah i do feel like it is straddling the line of being overtuned which is kinda what i said above. It would have to be overtuned for dps to have a chance

Seeing maugas significance drop more than half on 6v6 brings a happy tear to my eye. So much better, in every way. And reinhardt is viable 👍 I think the weaker healers like Lucio and Zenyatta may need a tiny healing buff to compensate for the extra health pool to heal. IMO

[@jahagkagau6061]

I feel like hazard is so much better in 6V6 because you can actually go in deep and get all the squishes while your other tank pressures the front, so either the off tank peels for the two supports you have in a chokehold and let the tank and dps 3V5 or they just let the supports get rolled 😊

Every single point that cyx makes about 6v6 vs 5v5 is just not true. 1. He says at 6:10 that 6v6 metas are less stagnant and locked in. Simply not true. That was almost always the case in 6v6. There were years long spans where the meta characters would never change. Double shield, goats, D.va (in general), pig pull (hog orisa). High-ranked meta stagnation has nothing to do with format and everything to do with balance patch frequency. The more changes there are, the less concrete metas become. 2. Cyx also says that it becomes easier to carry in 6v6 than 5v5. Also not true. He cites that it’s because one shit player represents a smaller portion of the team. That’s true and makes sense but the inverse is also true. You as a player make up a smaller portion of your team, making it harder for you to carry your shit teammate. 3. Cyx also says that have a throwing tank on your team is less detrimental but this is also not true on a large scale. Yes, in a single game one throwing tank is easier to win with, but this does not consider all possibilities. If you chart the tank throwing possibilities on a punnett square, you would find that the ratio of even tank matchups to uneven ones is actually worse in 6v6. Trust me, I’ve mapped it out. If you include columns and rows for both combinations of throwing tanks in 6v6 the ratio of even matchups (e) to uneven matchups (u) is 6e:10u or 1e:1.67u. If you only include one row and column for only one tank throwing, the ratio is 3e:6u or 1e:2u. This does not even factor in the difference in severe uneven-ness that occurs when both tanks on one team are throwing and neither tanks on the other team are throwing. In comparison, the 5v5 ratios are 2e:2u or 1e:1u. For those who do not understand I’ll put it simply. There are more uneven tank matchups for every even matchup with two tanks on each team rather than one tank as shown by the ratios. This is assuming that one tank on your team is obviously not doing well in comparison to the other tanks in the match which can and is mitigated by matchmaking.

5v5 is good, BUT NEED OPEN ROLE QUEUE. Less confusing, with all the same freedom and fun
