It just doesn’t make sense why you want 6v6 back Even though you know people are going to take advantage of double shield
Because the people demanding it are:
- Either Tank mains who don’t know that DPS had 20 minute queues which killed all the fun because all THEY can remember are instant queues.
- have never played OW1
- forgetting, that a meta that settled with 2 tanks was almost impossible to break or change. There was 3 playstyles over the course of OW1: Dive for the first 12 months, then GOATS, then Double shield. Stale af
- ignorant to the fact, that the tank experience was bullshit in OW1 as well. Look up a video on youtube of the average tank experience and come back to tell me it’s better.
6v6 could come back as a classic Overwatch mode. Just use the open queue balance of tanks and it’s pretty much set to go
Its funny people want 6vs6 but forgot insane queue times because no one wanted to play tanks.
If a role has way less players the smartest thing to do is limit the slots.
Tbh the Orisa rework would’ve fixed double shield in 6v6 anyway since she doesn’t have a shield anymore, and Sig doesn’t have the same synergy with Rein.
Because double shield could be easily fixed: Just black out all the other shield tanks once one of them is picked. You’d have all the extra emphasis on teamwork, strategy, grouping up, and protecting your teammates that 6v6 provides without its one major drawback.
They want to sit behind two Tanks / Shields and then have a sip of a drink or a slice of pizza until ults are up.
