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
1-3-2 was a lot more fun to play than I initially anticipated. Played ~3 hours all roles
1 vs 1 tank felt fine for the most part, it did kind of feel like which tank could be hunted by 3 dps players less would win the game which isn't bad per say? but didn't feel that good either. Very neutral
1 vs 2 tank felt pretty rough for the most part, but maybe because it's QP and people just be doing whatever instead of actually trying to play together
2 v 2 tanks felt the best, easily. I felt as though I wasn't being choked as a single tank, even when having to deal with 2 other tanks who counter swap me
As a DPS it was nice to be able to flex to tank if needed, but doesn't feel necessary, especially when someone else does.
As a support, I do wish I could flex to tank instead. It feels weird being limited to 2 supports when dps can swap between. Would be nice to be able to do 3 supports as well.
Overall good mode, felt better than expected. Feels infinitely better than 5v5 ever has. I would just make it so supports can have more options to swap as well. A part of me still believes that 6v6 open queue is the way, but I understand why people want role queue.
Genuinely, some of the most fun Overwatch I've experienced. I don't think it's an argument about whether 5v5 is better or worse than 6v6, but rather the discussion we should be having is whether or not raid boss tanks are fun/healthy to go against.
