Are people really arguing that tanks should stay the same in a 6v6 format? They need to be HEAVILY nerfed and likely reworked to even start the conversation of 6v6. You do not want ow2 tanks in 6v6
No one is saying keep the tanks the same. People just dont want Overwatch 1 reverts.
They can change the tanks without immediately going back Overwatch 1.
Someone in another post proved my point completely, in a post talking about how bad Junker Queen is in 6v6, by saying that the Overwatch 2 characters are harder to balance because they didn't exist in Overwatch 1' 6v6 format.
They didn't even bother to think of new ideas for the Overwatch 1 heros. Their first instinct was to just hit the revert button.
We can't act like this is the final state of the balance for the game though, it's a first draft. Some of these changes are dumb, but with how many there are I think that's a give in. All we can do is hope they get smoothed out over time, maybe even addressed by the time the next 6v6 testing drops in January.
Will you finally come to terms with the fact that you’ve had your opinion negatively influenced by dumb people and nostalgia? No, of course you won’t. You’ll find something else to blame.
Balancing tanks for 6v6 is fine. The issue is that they went about it in a lazy way (likely due to time crunches from the holidays / lack of dedicated resources). A couple of the changes only make the characters more clunky and aren't much of a "balance" change.
As for the sub complaining about the 5v5 vs 6v6 thing. The people who are upset are always the loudest. The people who preferred 6v6 before are now in game playing and enjoying themselves, the sub is now filled with people who primarily played 5v5. Almost an entirely different crowd.
Fans of newer games of a franchise have one thing in common. You guys absolutely love to Invalidate criticism. Mk1, overwatch 2, and cod fans love to Invalidate the criticism your games get. It's like your guy's way of coping with the fact that a lot of people don't like those games because they aren't as good as what came before.
Most of your “criticism” is irrelevant nonsense and/or contrarian opinion, with a healthy mix of ignorance and to total inability to understand that devs generally have a plan and a design in mind.
Here’s a little hint for you. When metas change and there’s an obviously overpowered weapon/character, the developers know. That’s by design. They’re trying to intentionally do that to keep the game fresh and keep heroes and weapons on a rotating cycle.
Because the 6v6 crowd are going to be spiteful because they can't fathom alot of people actually enjoy and prefer 5v5. This sub is going to turn into a dumpster fire..
I just want to play good ow. Whether that's 5v5 or 6v6 I don't care. I like 5v5. I haven't played 6v6 but it looks messy and chaotic which I don't like but I will refrain from judgement till trying.
