i mean ive been playing it everyday, came back, bought a mythic weapon even. Ive done all i can to tell blizzard this is the way. Its their final shot. Im not playing out of needing to either, like i actually like the game again. Its actually bearable in 6v6. Even with such a bad patch.

[@joeschipper6465]

Tank diff was a thing in ow1 also

[@sharkstaint1373]

@@joeschipper6465 its 10 times more popular now since there is only one tank on the highlight

[@reginozarate4601]

Mtd was often used as a joke and banter between the tank players in a match. It was mostly typed by the winning tanks/team because they felt a sense of accomplishment in outplaying the enemy tanks. Many times it wasn't even true, just banter. In comparison, Tank Diff is most often used by the non-tank players on a losing team, expressing a sense of helplessness for a loss caused by one player on their team being worse than the enemy counterpart. It is also quite often true, since logically speaking, one team is bound to have the better tank player. The team with the worse tank player basically begins the game with a handicap that 4 players need to try to make up for, even though their roles combined are still not as valuable as that of one player who may or may not be competent. These two expressions are not the same in any way.

[@MistaDvN]

6v6 feels soo good..... As a tank main.. game feels ez less straining....after a match of 5v5 I feel taxed mentally.. Maybe it's just me I suck lol

[@y3rkie]

trust me brother, you're not alone when you say tank feels unfun to play in 5v5. it's very literally the most unpopular role

[@mickeyboy90]

5v5 tank literally requires SO MUCH MORE EFFORT than 6v6 its not okay. Tank feels like its either shoot tank all game or ignore tank and 50/50 trade backlines all game. Both options can be extremely difficult.

[@ump3368]

In 6v6 I love how tanks can get easily punished for bad decisions, and the combo of cooldowns between the two tanks its almost like a dance, having and offtank to peel, being able to backline on ball and not have your team cry about no frontline. Yeah its more chaotic but I like that! I cant even go back to 5v5... the only things 5v5 is good for is dps queue times and solo carry potential. Just give us both choices!

[@AegisEdge]

actually tank queue times in 5v5 are insanely good but thats it.

[@matthewbrears2129]

Solo carry potential for DPS. Everyone else just exists lol. 6v6 has so much variation and reward for good play (especially good teamwork. 5v5 is the same loop every game, and it’s all selfish play with barely any interaction between players/abilities

[@eduardomartin8510]

Blizzard probably timed the 6v6 with Marvel rivals. It's an strategy they use. They did the same thing with WoW; whenever a new MMO was going to come out they timed a patch or expansion to come out at the same time to keep the competition suppressed.

[@mathiaschristensen1194]

Feels a bit stupid that they haven't brought it in as a temp ranked mode too. Not only is the ranked ruleset better, but it'd probably provide better data, cause people tend to try a bit more genuinely when it's ranked.

[@bambampewpew32]

0:26 YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET??? LMFAO HOW

[@spectraljk2]

Literally the only reason why they released a normal 6v6 mode and gave the mythic to reinhardt because they're afraid of Marvel Rivals. It's way too little, too late. If you think they suddenly started listening to feedback, you're high on copium.

[@Jae_JETT]

They wont keep it. They already said they wont get rid of 5v5, and having both isnt going to go well considering the balancing demands as well as queue times. They would have to have 5v5 and 6v6 Competitive and Quick play and considering tank is already the least picked roles, there's no way they can afford to divide it that much.

[@NightBlade117]

I dont care what the 5v5 copers say. In my opinion, this 6v6 playtest, even including the Overwatch Classic game mode, has proven that 6v6 is more of a solution and not the problem. The ability to play the game and things to actually die is so much fun, and I really hope they make 6v6 permanent. Super tanks and mega unanswered sustain due to a lack of tanks has only hindered and ruined this game over time. 5v5 has proven to be far more difficult to balance for the dev team, especially considering they weren't good at it to begin with.

[@sajidvegas]

I have the feeling I am the only one that does not prefer 6v6 over 5v5

[@blueoystercult124]

Everyone has a preference but 6v6 is definitely better for tanks. I actually liked tank in ow1 but don't touch it in 5v5/ ow2

@blueoystercult124 yeah for me it is the Opposite for some reason. I didn't like to Tank in OW2 and prefer it in a 5v5 scenario with more survivability

[@Firestorm-m4m]

yeah cuz you're used to being almost invincible. Tanks have to play it more save cuz they're squishier and you have to play less agressive (unless you have the support of your second tank), but on the other hand there is way less pressure on you which is why many prefer 6v6

[@badgeow8538]

6v6 is what the old community, including myself, fell in love with. I quit the game because of 5v5 and only returned recently, I still prefer the more team oriented gameplay of 6v6 over the duel oriented gameplay of 5v5, but that is again a preference.

I feel like i can flex queue again Cuz of 5v5, ive only been locking support bcuz of how strong and impactful the role is Tank is too stressful and dps feels useless But now i can finally flex queue once again thanks to 6v6 Its just the superior game mode always has been

[@joeschipper6465]

Make it a ranked mode with that chernobyl balance patch and i dont think ppl will be singing its praises near as much, 6v6 is definitely better but that patch ruins it completely idk why season 9 still isnt reverted either
