There seems to be confusion: when I say mistakes aren't punished I don't mean you individually won't die, you might. What I mean is individual mistakes don't really matter to the outcome of a fight. It's MUCH easier to fight through a pick in 6v6, which is bad, actually!

Less. Less fun. There is 0 individual accountability or responsibility for anyone in the game except arguably supports whose only responsibility is to healbot. No angles allowed. No individual decisionmaking allowed, doesn't really matter because mistakes aren't punished anyway

@Cloydbro1990 @kaaaaassidy The clutter is def the biggest thing but heroes like anran vendetta and Juno junket queen etc are better in 6v6
English
@kaaaaassidy I personally think 6v6 better fits the older generation of overwatch heroes and 5v5 better fits this generation of heroes and plus to me 5v5 has just amount of tolerable visual clutter and 6v6 simple has way too much visual clutter.

will i be crucified if i admit i miss 6v6 role q already 😔

Before the 1-3-2 Quick Play Hacked goes away I want you all to remember how you felt during your games. Then compare them to how you feel when 5v5 comes back. Do you feel like you had more or less fun during the weekend? What were some frustrations you had? What did you like about it that 5v5 did not provide before? Regardless of your opinion on 5v5 vs 6v6 I hope we can help make a greater version of Overwatch that we can all appreciate and love

I think (take this with a grain of salt) that if they want 1-3-2 to work, they should buff the healing output of supports (only in 6v6 ofc)
It's impossible to defend yourself from three flankers while trying to keep five other people alive, especially with three DPS

@ImFrancoSun @OWAnonymous_ 5v5 tanks don’t get punished nearly as hard as 6v6 and majority of them don’t use cover only the top percent do
English
@Jason095057077 @OWAnonymous_ Implying 5v5 tanks do not play around cover...
That's a rank problem, not a mode problem.

AM I THE ONLY SUPPORT PLAYER THAT PREFERS 6V6 😭

Just played Overwatch 1-3-2 for like 5 hours straight today, it’s just so much better than 5v5 or open queue 6v6.
I need this to be the default mode of play yesterday. Blizzard needs to stop beating around the bush and just do things, Overwatch could be peak again
English
@ImFrancoSun @OWAnonymous_ That’s on the tanks fr it’s very easy to minimize the damage you take on tank but 5v5 has dumb down the player base a little
English
@Jason095057077 @OWAnonymous_ I strongly disagree. With healing debuff, if you leave tanks unattended, they are going to melt.
English
@ImFrancoSun @OWAnonymous_ It’s def not, you actually have to be more proactive and think about what you wanna do
English
@OWAnonymous_ Playing support in 6v6 is healbotting, so this is just admitting to being lobotomized.
English
the skill expression in 6v6 overwatch is really not that different to rivals, literally just a team deathmatch with like 4 ults minimum every fight
English
@CallMeYourself @PopcorpGFX I prefer 6v6 support, ability cooldown management matters a lot more and laying damage on a tank feels very rewarding
English
@PopcorpGFX As someone that plays all roles, is in the middle ranks, and has been playing since OW1
For tanks 6v6 is 100% better
For supports 5v5 is 100% better
Dps can adjust with either
problem with 6v6 is shields & healing
5v5 problem is single tanks & easily counter
English
Why are dives almost universally squishy but predscan full hp

Bro that game feels so dynamic in 6v6. This game is so fun #overwatch #6v6
English
To give an idea of how easy 6v6 is - my Ana SR for 5v5 is plat bc I'm a one-trick zen and barely play anyone else. I use 6v6 to practice other heroes - Ana or Mizuki and I'm just sitting in Masters despite being awful at the heroes.
English
@bunnielesbian I think a 6v6 with the new dev team and properly balance will bring a new peak to the game
English
6v6ers are so fucking unbearable that they make me side with ow2-only support players. do you know how hard it is to do that
English
@pachinarcy I think it’s gonna take some getting used to again, and I think people don’t know how to play 6v6 right now gonna take time to adjust
English
Reasons I dislike 6v6:
- DPS have less space to work with and can't take angles as much as they can in 5v5
- support becomes mind numbingly boring
- AOE damage and healing are too strong
- there is an over-reliance on ults
- way less individual skill expression compared to 5v5
English
@CapsGotFixed @WintonOW2 No it’s not, not even close. Thing die quicker and more often
English
@Jason095057077 @WintonOW2 This is insane, 6v6 at "peak gameplay" is a slow grind to see who runs out of resources first. Its not great
English
The 5v5ers are absolutely FILLED with rage over this test. So many abhorrent comments without any justification for why they like 5v5
Overwatch Cavalry@OWCavalry
Try a New 6v6 Format in #Overwatch 👾 The first experiment is now live in Quick Play: Hacked, testing a 1-3-2 team composition where one DPS player can choose to swap to Tank. 🗓️ Available: Now - Jul 19

@ITzMisf1t @NixLupus31 They would need to revert the burst healing that they added
English
@Jason095057077 @NixLupus31 Honestly I’m fine as long as the antiheal on everyone stays. I don’t mind healers being able to ya know heal but I don’t like rivals levels of getting someone one shot then they’re back to full in 0.2 seconds
