      "Rein got a brand new playstyle" -meanwhile the number 1 Rein player who famously endured all of OW1 CC and sustain with his creative approach to Rein, has now stopped playing Rein because nothing's viable with him anymore. Rein didn't gain a playstyle. He got a mobility scooter because the game now treats him like a retired elderly person who needs assistance for something as simple as getting around.

      Idk what you guys loved about OW1, it wasn't loved in my eyes it was just as addicting as it is now, and as a DPS player now it's even more rewarding. The real issue it's a game that requires teamplay when there is none function to help with that, they even took away LFG. It's a joke you all seem to follow streamers ideas and not think critically for yourselves, compare this guild idea to simply adding or subtracting a Tank, and if you're honest it's a much more impactful and rewarding thing, especially in a game that requires teamplay

    People against 6v6 often say how it was necessary because "not enough tank players". Then what's the logic behind 5v5 then, because literally everything that makes 5v5 work is inherently designed to make tanking MORE miserable than it already was pre 5v5.
    *In actuality the only thing that made tank players leave, were 3 fold:*
    1. No real dev/balance team for 3 whole years, coupled with a "crawl-walk-run" mentality that meant we'd often go 2-4 months with no proper balance patches
    2. The primary tool that the late OW1 skeleton dev/balance crew used, was power creep through CC, and then sustain to combat CC, in an endless cycle. And who is hit the hardest by CC? The frontline, aka the tank role.
    3. Bloated heroes were put into the game and left unchecked for months (see point 1), which after players learned to min/max their kits, developed unhealthy comp styles like GOATS and Double Shield. This was never a 6v6 issue, it was a hero design bloat issue. Brig took +20 nerfs just to bring her in line with other viable supports. Sigma is still better on a tank-v-tank basis than pretty much all other tanks. Orisa got a full hero rework (originally intended for 6v6, but was kept for OW2 among other hero changes, to add on as another upsell to make the sequel title seem worthy)

    In 5v5, I'll be lucky if I can play a single game without being told "swap or face almost certain defeat and get flamed by your whole team."
    I want to have fun playing this game, it's fine if I have to swap once every 10 games, but when it's almost every game I can no longer have fun playing what I want without spending a whole evening hoping to have a single game where I don't get counter swapped.

    The reason 5v5 is the issue is not because balance, it’s because mentality. For low rank players: They can only spend so much time missing shots that they will shoot the biggest target rather than the right one. and for all ranks- No one wants a 600 HP Demi God close to them, and the only way to keep them away is to CC them into oblivion, put them to critical every time they peak, or just kill them. I don’t want queue times to be high but the way you fix someone not playing a role…is by…making it fun to play/rewarding.

  • @levanoon9286
    @levanoon9286 6 місяців тому

    31:37 it also effects lower rank. probably even more, because when you roll first fight and enemy team don’t know what to play against, they just all counterswap the tank, because it’s easier then countering 2 dps/supports who play diffrent playstyles and ranges. Therefore you had only need to adapt to one player of the role, who needs to mitigate the dmg and pressure all by himself. Going back to 6v6 would take a lot of pressure from the single tank and additionally make counter swapping less oppressive.
    - also support abilities which provide immortality etc. would be less impactful, without lowering the cooldown. So you can you use it the same amount per game like in 5v5 but in 6v6 it would only save 1/6 of the team not 1/5. Abilities like Suzu would still provide a huge impact, but maybe wouldn’t be a deny-button for an entire ultimate because it would be more often in need of.
    Edit: drunk as f, but people trigger me being so delusional, thinking 5v5 can be balanced and 6v6 was the issue the game died ….

The moment I go off on doom once or if I'm not changing because I'm an otp. The enemy tank swaps to my counter in almost every game. It never fails at all. And if that tank matchup to counter me doesn't work than they ensure it will with every freaking hero pick on their team to shut me down and now I'm forced to play a tank I have no clue or any experience playing because I can't play around 3 counters on doom because let's face it I'm plat.

I prefer 5v5 for the shorter queues and the fact that characters aren't all on the same level in every situation. Yes, it isn't nice when your main sucks on a specific map or against a specific comp, but if you make unique characters with unique strengths and weaknesses... some are going to be weaker than others.

I feel like this is a pretty simple concept, and it is really sad that we are still having these conversations in the community. Overall, just go back to a 6v6 format-that way all we have to do is just drop one patch that slightly changes some of the newer characters from Overwatch 2.

    So, while all this is good, it still doesn't address the biggest issue with 6v6 is that not enough people want to play tank. There was a time, late OW1, where it was balance, it felt great, everything was viable, perfectly balanced.... and still there was a huge queue time for DPS. If OW went back to a perfectly balanced 6v6 format, how would you, @Samito, double the tank player base?

    So this guy thinks Hog and Zarya need mobility? More random duct tape changes like role passives or “Zarya getting a movement speed bonus when her last bubble breaks.” Just adding weird one-off stuff to the game to force this format to work. Blizzard will probably listen to this guy and give all tanks a jetpack passive next season. If it weren’t for Sam, and some others like Hawk, Iron, and Chipsa I’d have given up on this game improving a long time ago.
    Edit: also I love how this dude chooses a pic of Sam raging to make him look bad, but to me it just makes him look like a hype beast 😂

I mean… just watch Flats chilling in spawn and swapping hero the entire game… I’ve never seen this in OW1 (6v6). You r delusional when you think that is fun or skill. It’s neither.

    He said hero design is easier than balance lol... So, how much dev time are we going to spend doing hero reworks rather than getting new content. I would say going to 5v5 caused so many issues and took up so much dev time that it ruined a full release of promised pve content.
    That statement also doesn't solve anything. This seems like an "educated" take rather than one based in reality. The way you refuted his point is also on point. Sure you can get rid of counter swapping - but it will blend / diminish their differences/designs. Waters down the role immensely thus proving your point about tanking being less fun.
    His arguments, again, remind me of someone "educated" - I mean who was taught to think by someone else, who is trying to make sense of problems by putting them into the box they were taught to put them into. This idealistic echo chamber method tends to make people think they are correct when they tend to not understand the problem well enough to begin with. And because they've found a way to fit a problem into a small box think that they are right while not seeing things from the big picture.

  • @bennettstokes195

    I think the reason counter swapping is so oppressive is because tanks often can only play one playstyle. Rein can pretty much only brawl, dooms just dives, sigma just pokes. When just doing one thing isn’t enough you have to switch.

    People that say that tank counterswapping isn't a problem since your team comp and sawp to mitigate the counter is just dumb. Like have you ever solo queued on tank??? If I just mention the idea of someone on my team swapping they either get tilted or they swap and suck at the hero because they have never played them before. When I solo queue I have to make up for my teams lackings. Meaning I have to do so many jobs at the same time all while the enemy tank is constantly swapping to make my life harder. You can't rely on your team for shit and thats why it would be nice to atleast have some of that pressure taken off.

    6v6 was good if it worked (rarely did, and max 2 weeks at a time), and only tanks had fun.
    5v5 is consistently good with way faster patches, and only tanks are miserable.
    If the devs could have balanced 6v6, they would have over the 6 year life span, but failed.
    They can balance 5v5 better. While yes there's no MAJOR metas, because they team is actually fast on patches, so no goats for 2 years and no double shield, release brig and release sigma.
    Peak 6v6 will always be better than peak 5v5, that's just a fact. However everyone talks about how the tank dynamic is so cool and good, when 95% of the entire playerbase are not good enough or smart enough to implement those advantages, aka only in master/gm+ will you actually see good tank synergy, in which case it was phenomenal (if you were playing tank).
    I'd rather have a consistent game like ow2, than play a terrible and unfun game with the same meta for 4 years straight of nonsense.
    (I'm saying this as a previous contenders player, top 500 support with peak being at top 1, top 500 tank, played since beta in 2015, going to the biggest national tournaments every year in my country and it being my main game ever since.)

    Overwatch was designed for 6v6 this was also the guys who worked on wow in the past they designed things for years for a purpose to work and they designed ow1 with the ability to play any hero in the game to a high lvl bc the way it was designed 2v2v2 2 tanks for the reason we have right now in ow2 tank swap it makes so u can’t just swap to counter u need to put a comp together with ur team more synergy more teamwork more skill expression overall and it’s really the exact same way with others roles try it Sam it customs games try one supp or one dps and see how much easier it is to just swap vs u have to also take in what the other dps playing it was a beautiful gameplay loop

    @julianebug8409 6 місяців тому

    The thing is we have 12 player customs so I don't see why someone can't test out 6v6 and different ways to balance it. Either way no matter which one is better there will still be people who would prefer 5v5. Some people think that if they implemented 6v6, but also kept 5v5 then it would split the player base up too much but I disagree. It's all about giving players a choice at the end of the day and when the devs pretty much just say "no we won't give you 6v6 you have to accept 5v5 then be ok with that being the only way to enjoy the game" we have to deal with 5v5 and hope they can "balance" it over and over. Theres no harm in adding 6v6 because all they would have to do is move open queue out of the quickplay and competive slots then make a new slot for open queue. The player base will pick what they enjoy playing more and the queue times won't matter because we don't know how players will react to the new 6v6. We might have better dps queue times in 6v6 because people enjoy playing tank more. We'll never know unless we try and find out but they just don't wanna add it for pretty much no reason. If people end up liking 6v6 more and go to 6v6 then the 5v5 queue times are worse that might mean theres something wrong with 5v5 and not 6v6.

The offical 6v6 overwatch 1 work shop mod only has offical matches twice a week, only during a few hour period. The only way to get a consistent 6v6 lobby is if you're a content creator. If blizzard just made it an actual acarde mode it'd be much more populated then their 6 useless modes that clog the game

      “Make every tank similar” doesn’t mean not making them unique. Junker Queen and Ramattra are quite similar, however, they are still unique and play differently. Make every tank similar means that every tank would have some sort of sustain, mobility, and mitigation tool. That doesn’t necessarily mean that make every tank able to poke, brawl, and dive.

      ​​​@@mrgoldenreset9590 Making Tanks more similar wouldn't be completely bad at all and I agree JQ and Ram are well designed Tanks.
      However, if every Tank in Overwatch just revolves around those same three buttons (sustain, mitigation, mobility) you end up making the Tanks already designed for it obscenely powerful with no real option other than counterpicking. I would argue the very concept of mitigation and sustain for Tanks as it stands *is* the problem, at least if it's condensed to one player.
      Orisa, Sigma, D:VA, Zarya, and Mauga all have this issue in their respective kits becuase they're simply overkitted for what they're able to do. The others constantly rotate in and out of meta mainly off the viability of other roles + Tanks; Tanks like Ram (Sustain) , Rein(Mitigation) and Wrecking Ball (Mobility) tend to live and die off of only ONE of the attributes we'd given them here and I firmly believe giving every Tank all three would just make them oppressive raid bosses like Mauga was on launch. Neither 5v5 or 6v6 will have any longevity without a fundamental rework of Tanking away from what made Support healing so powerful in Season 8 and before.
