    Its sad to see that I was so hyped for OW2, not because of the PvE i never really cared for that, but for the fact that my favourite game ever (OW1) would get all these Updates, new Engine, new Heroes, Maps, and a lot more.
    As soon as they announced 5v5 in 2021, i got very sceptical, as a tank player it seemed horrible.
    After playing the first beta, i must say it WAS HORRIBLE, i played the "Long awaited Overwatch 2" for like 3 days before going back to 6v6.
    The game felt dull, just one big deathmatch, lacking everything that made it special in the first place.
    Sure its presentable and the way the heroes feel and the game looks still makes it "good", but man if they just kept 6v6 around and actually gave the game the care it deserved it could hav rivaled Fortnite and League of Legends.
    Im happy that it now starts to turn around again, the future seems promising, but youre totally right on the rebranding thing, i said this last year aswell, drop the Overwatch 2, it sounds stupid and has one of the worst images in gaming, just going to Overwatch and using it as a way to try 6v6 again would be an insane marketing move.
    Sure there will always be people saying "blah blah OW2 flopped and they wasted dev time blah blah" but at the end of the day, if you make a great game, people will play it.
    I also believe 6v6 could have good Qtimes, with it being F2P, Live-Service Content, Active Balance patches, Collaborations, new Tanks that are more fun than Orisa or Sigma who stay AFK behind their shields, its really sad to see people write off 6v6 as "Bad because x or y" just because it didnt get any attention after RoleQ released.
    If you really think about it, 5v5 has had more dedicated balancing than 6v6 but still can fuck up the game more by just changing 2 numbers on a hero, id say 6v6 definetly is worth a shot, i know me and like 5 irl friends would play again.

      thank you for writing your heart out, exactly how i felt about overwatch as well. i started playing a lot around april 2020 during the early stages of lockdowns, pretty sure the game was already on life support back then, but i had a blast with it. overtime, game got too stale, but i still enjoyed it for what it is, and as a fan of Shanghai Dragons in owl, i absolutely was on the edge of my seat every time i watched owl watching their climb to the top.
      When OW2 was launched, i enjoyed the freshness in 5v5, and i believe my mechanics drastically improved and i grinded so much. but around s5-ish i completely lost interest in the game, somehow the game felt even more stale than overwatch 1 when it was on life support, i believe it’s just due to the lack of variety in combinations, seeing the same ol’ stuff over and over, just like how double shield felt like, but instead of shields, unlimited health, or you get one shot, no in between. Mauga was fun, when he got giga buffed lmao, and idk what happened during that time period, but i think the fact that i was just goofing around with a mauga on my team gave me a decent amount of brain rot, and i can no longer play at the level i used to in this game, and then the finals came out and i moved onto that instead, I was very interested when they announced s9 game rework, and when it came out was fun initially, but shooting people didn’t feel was rewarding, the bigger hitboxes just feels wrong, and i stopped playing since, probably wouldn’t touch it until perhaps s12. doing things just don’t feel as rewarding and satisfying in overwatch to me anymore, and i find myself getting frustrated a lot more often, everything feels almost “too balanced”, like all characters lost their identities, which is what made me fell in love with the game in the first place.
      sorry about the rant, just be feeling really frustrated about this game lately, if you are reading this i wish you had a wonderful easter and have a good time with whatever you are working on this year :)

      @@nurikkulanbaev3628 Well Yeah, thats likely the only thing that sucks about Duo Tanking
      But you can still have some control there, other than in 5v5 when youre either DPS/Supp and your tank locks solo Hog against a Bastion or Ana or when they lock winston into a Reaper/Dva youre basically screwed because your missing your frontline
      As the Solo Tank player you have the most control to throw the match with your pick, which just sucks if youre DPS/Supp
      Also, its true that synergies were strong in 6v6, but in Masters and below they were not game deciding, you could totally make things like Rein/Hog work, even against Orisa/Sigma (I should know i was the rein most of the time and climbed to GM with him)
      But especially in plat and below, where 90% of the players are, it did not really matter, so id take the "bad duo tank games" that happened occaisonally over the "always unfun Solo Tank games" anyday

      @@leonzspotg Dont feel bad about a rant, totally feel you
      Been playing since December 2016, it was my first FPS and after playing it endlessly for like 8 Months i hit Masters (on Junkrat LOL), i kept playing and after getting an internet upgrade (so that i dont lose -50SR after a disconnect) i finally hit GM and it was amazing. Loved the game all the way until OW2 released, i can confidentily say OW1 is my favourite game ever.
      You know what though, back in 6v6, even during the bad metas, when Mercy was reworked and OP, when Goats went on for 18 Months or when 2x Shield plagued the game, I still had fun and didnt really complain that much about balance.
      Because, i still could make my favourite Heroes on Tank (Rein, Zarya, Winston, Hog) work against those comps, which just isnt the case in OW2.
      Trying to play reinhardt, who totally lost his identity makes me so fucking sad, the way you dueled the 2 other tanks and had your whole team behind you was so fun, now its just a deathmatch where you try to charge in and get a kill before getting melted.
      The game lost lots of its charm and what made it special in 5v5, it just got so dumbed down and less interesting, it really just boils down to "3... 2... 1... GO"
      Nobody Comms, Nobody calls for rotates, nobody tracks ults, nobody plans anything, but why should you when you could just lock in the OP Tank that season and walk in.
      Idk, if i ever get to see a RoleQ 6v6 that got the amount of Content it deserves i will be happy, not only because my favourite game will be back, but because i know that 6v6 was so much better, it will be a popular game again, also all my friends would come back and i realized teaching them OW and playing with them was fun as fuck.
      Also, just from a casual perspective, with 6v6 having less stress on the tank and not being in Counterswap hell (and allowing the casuals to actually play the hero they picked for longer than 1 minute) would be more healthy for the game and definetly balance out Tank Qs a lot
      Its only anecdotal, but i know like 20 Streamers/Pros who would play tank again and me too, and looking in Comments/Social Media im not alone on this, would love to know how many of the daily OW players actually play tank in 5v5, judging by the increasing Qtimes, i dont think there are a lot.

      this is exactly why 6v6 was so good. i think you hit it on the nail perfectly. there’s not so much a hard meta anymore and most characters are viable now in at least some case. but where has that gotten us? in the pursuit of a perfectly balanced game, we forgot entirely about the fun. 6v6 wasn’t better because it was balanced, it was better because it was more fun.

    11:43 this is incorrect. Jason Schreier reported recently that the decision to make OW2 was a blizzard decision. It did not come from Bobby or activision. He actually said that Bobby and activision hated the fact that they stopped updating and focusing on ow1 because ow1 was actually making them a lot of money. OW2 was a Kaplan and co. Idea not a Bobby kotick one.
    Jason also said that after Kaplan left, it was too late to go back on the ow2 branding since it had already been announced. Kaplan drove ow2 down a cliff and jumped before it crashed 😂.

    The game needs longer than a year's worth of post-launch development (especially after the lay-offs). There's going to need to be a dedicated level of (re)learning about the design of Overwatch and what they fundamentally want, especially given a large portion of this Dev team might not have nearly as much (if any) experience with 6v6. There is however, a perfect line-up for marketing, nostalgia, re-structuring from top to bottom, re-branding, and re-designs of the entire game- all while giving 5v5 the time it needs for people to recognize the issues aren't going away. 2 years of development and releases, with more generalized designs that CAN be re-worked comfortably and easily:
    And that's the 10 year anniversary.
    Enough time for OW2 to have had it's day, 5v5'ers to have their format (which gets shuffled into an Arcade mode) for a significant period of time, and 6v6 to get re-configured for a dedicated PvP-Development focus. It's the right amount of time and the right amount of dedication to settle the current grievances and set the franchise up for a comeback.

That's why PVE was such a big deal, it had the potential to revive the co-op PvE experience and keep us playing for a long time, and instead we got sloppy seconds.
      Maybe 5v5 is more balanced but I can tell you this, especially as a tank player apart from launch maybe, it's never been fun. Either Orisa is the best tank and you're just playing her pretty much, or tanks are dogshit like they've been for the past few patches.

    So I quit and uninstalled the game for a couple of different reasons.
    1. What they consider "content" is just kinda lame updates (balance is separate from this). 20-30 new skins is meh.
    2. Two new game modes in almost a decade added to competitive. One of them is just dog water and I dispise the mode.
    3. Nothing to look forward to. All they have to offer is bs gimmick trial modes (like Starwatch, are garbage ideas), skins, three new heros a year, three new maps a year, and and and...oh wait, thats it.
    4. The games in the metal ranks are still busted from Season 1 of OW 2. Games are either you steam roll or get rolled. Boring af. This match maker is just awful.
    5. The changes to leaver penalties is dumb. Sometimes I forget to leave que and go take a piss. Now I have a two hour wait because the game is more important than my bladder. Seems stupid and is going to push alot of casuals away once they encounter a bad run. I can understand having strict rules in Competitive is important, but effing quickplay. GTF outta here.
    Tldr, why do you still look forward to grinding a game that releases the minimum viable product then clap like circus seals for crumbs?
    I'm glad you get a Streamer mode Sam, can the OW devs create a useful HUD that actually displays information, like team health without hard staring at the person...ffs this game is almost a decade old and is still barebones as hell.

    you're right sam they should also revert OW2 down to the sound system. Directional audio is permanently fucked thanks to the new convolution reverb system. Now gun sounds have too much bass, too loud compared to footsteps, there's a myriad of sound bugs and you can't tell what's happening because everything sounds like a sludge (gun sounds from far away are louder than someone is shooting you from behind. I would grind the game again (even with the stingy new reward system) if the audio was like OW1 again

    I think as it stands right now, I am actually enjoying the direction the game going into now. The dev team especially has been so, so much more expressive in their approach and honestly aren’t afraid to take their risks as of recently. It may not be the peak game I grew with in 2016 but it certainly has been one of biggest turnarounds for this game within this year alone. I do hope that this trend of positive development keeps going because I am loving every second of that.
    I will admit, I was very skeptical on how this game would turnout when the whole shenanigans of its launch being poorly received to having PvE cancelled and a lack of communication at the time, I was scared that I would be disappointed and I was for a long time. Thank god it isn’t the case now though I do see some varying issues with the current in game infrastructure as certain roles continue to struggle and how the current brand vs the current game does not fit the current format of what it was originally so I dk hope they have some plans on how it should be implemented.
    Anyways, great video🤙

    So I like the idea of "rebranding" Overwatch and I think that something like Fortnites OG season might be cool. My idea is to do something like "Overwatch: Recall" to go back to the original cast and lock away all the other characters to then re-release them into the game over a couple of days or weeks as well as the format where you start with open queue then role queue and then 5v5. Maybe you could have both modes at the same time since not being able to play the new characters in 6v6 might not be that great.
    Yeah just wanted to share this thought I had and I would like to know what you think

    My favorite part about the tank swapping atm is when playing dps the tanks will come out on lets say zarya vs dva. dva gets rolled for a fight or two so then goes hog. hog is unkillable and somehow farms zarya rn and then the zarya will swap to hog and now the entire game comes down to a hog mirror and there is 0 space for dps and and it's just which hog is better and/or which support can anti or suzu the feeding hog better. sucks ass
    other than that, game is in very good spot. delete hog

    A lot of stuff we want is the middle of what we got.
    Tanks feel like garbage now, but genuinely tanks DO feel better in terms of not needing a specific off tank to reach your fullest potential. 6v6 should return, but I think tanks in their current state feel WAY less restrictive then in 6v6 so I’d like to balance the tanks with THAT in mind.
    Just like how the battle pass isn’t bad, but hero’s being locked was too far.

    • @vopcracker3193

      I've said it plenty of times: Support power creep + the DPS passive would have gone a lot smoother if it didn't cost OW2 another player on each team and a year of balancing for that same deficit.
      Tank synergies overall are much less systemic of an issue to me in 6v6 than Tank viability seems in 5v5. The Main Tank/ Off-Tank designation was a terrible way to design them imo and 5v5 only highlighted how often they tend to overlap and drag the whole game down when they do. Make them all brawlers and give them a resistance passive on top of it. Extend the DPS passive to overhealth and watch how much better the game plays for it.

    I think my largest issue with the branding for ow2 is that it's set a staple feeling in me, that any competitive shooter that rebrands as a second game. Will now have the assumption in my mind that it will be another "Overwatch 2." With the Ramattra balancing, the hero swaps, for a short period of time, the only counter to 85% of the tanks was a tank who could pop shield, cancel his shield, pop his ult and gain even more shield. Who can block and reduce the damage even more, as a dps player and even as a tank player, feeling like the only swap for 2 months was Ramattra in diamond. Felt horrible, rein was weak, orisa was strong, sig was strong, but Ram for a while was king before the nerfs and that was really boring. I feel now he's a lot more balanced, and they have made a lot of changes since I've quit, I'll admit this is an older take. But dealing with the swapping is still an annoying issue. I hope they fix it so I can respect the game again, and have the same feeling as ow1. I started playing again and the tank role still feels poor and needs adjustment. ( Edit: Ram could also gain ult in roughly 45 seconds if fed properly, which is very quick for that kind of ultimate)

Let’s take rein, though I know he’s awful rn. His shield was 2000 in OW1 & I believe is 1400 currently, up from 1200 at the beginning of Overwatch 2. I would want 1000 shield. For Sigma I would want 500 max with a nerf to the cooldown on suck. Dva less defense matrix uptime than OW1 with less health, etc.
