1 - Put 6v6 mode in Arcade with a 2-2-2 force-lock 2 - Reduce the health points of every tank by 50 to 150HP (depending on the tank) in that mode only 3 - Profit ?
I mean, keep the 5v5, it’s still a fun game although it’s different, I’d still play it to be honest, but just… give us the choice to play between both modes, that’s all.
C’mon… we have wacky modes like Mystery Heroes, Total Mayhem and No Limits… modes which are much more alien than mere 6v6…
So what’s stopping them from putting a single 6v6 mode in Arcade? Is it lack of demand ? Lack of resources because Blizzard is just a poor indie company ? Or maybe just ego ?
PS: to the “jUsT plAY oPeN QueUE” crowd I say the following: “open queue is still 5v5…”
Because comp players, who are a good amount of the playerbase, won’t play the 6v6 gamemode because it’s not comp. So there’s already a good amount of the playerbase right there that wouldn’t benefit at all from the extra effort. QP players would be split. Some playing 5v5, some playing 6v6. This would split the community and cause an increase of queue times for all QP enjoyers.
On top of that, they decided they wanted the game to be 5v5. They wanted this. So having a 6v6 gamemode in any form, would be them taking a step back. This would most likely cause a lot of people to restart the rampant discussion of 5v5 vs 6v6, which would just be annoying for the devs.
No good reason for them to do it
