What is Blizzard doing with Overwatch 2?

[@humblecanadian4206]

The thing about 6v6 is even when it comes back the devs wont balance it correctly.

[@Abstractow]

We can only hope that they at least TRY to balance it lmao

[@mohammedalkhalifa6805]

i think pharah would be less dominant in 6v6 specifically with these changes cause in ow1 she was okay as a character she would be good in the right hands and they would destroy ppl but its really rare to see a good pharah player and they benefited from flying high in the sky in certain maps so the gameplay has changed a little bit.

without a mercy Pharah was a very easy character to counter

even in OW 1 i found pharrah to be cancer af. junkrat a sewerrat too but thats just me ig

That's what happen when you chase all the senior/lead developers away. Team 4 doesnt have a vision and full of junior/inexperienced developers. Aaron Keller is a good senior developer, but I dont think he really have a vision for the game nor does he have what it take to be a game director.

He doesnt even play the game. In the karq ability quiz videos he has no clue what game he's even in charge of.

Covid plus the blizzard scandal was the nail in the coffin for Overwatch

Pharah's Killin it! But if we go 6v6, why did we change in the first place?

[@Jon-py9xl]

They couldn't balance double shield brig comps and dps players had to wait like a half an hour for ques. They wanted to speed up que times and thought it would be easier to balance one tank instead of 2

[@kimserne]

Hot take. I dont enjoy 6v6. It quickly becomes a stalemate and if 1 tank dies, it snowballs even harder than it does in 5v5. I think many people either didnt play OW1 or have forgotten the quirks 6v6 brought.

[@parmenides3545]

How a tank dying out of 2 tanks is worse than the only tank dying?

[@kimserne]

@@parmenides3545 Tanks produce pressure and being meatshields. Having one less causes the other 2 to be able to run the last tank down. In a scenario where you have no tank against 1, you still have the damage and healing to take it down quickly, that is not viable against 2 tanks due to the power of defensive abilities prolonging the fight. It's hard to explain in a single comment, but hopefully it made some sense.

My biggest issue with 6v6 was the balance. Blizzard stopped all development on Overwatch after echo was released and they let their game die. Then they came back with a big change to the format making it 5v5 when all they needed to do was make some balance changes in 6v6
