Overwatch 2might be returning to 6v6 gameplay following a lengthy series of upcoming tests.
This includes testing different forms of 6v6 in the game to gauge the results.
In exchange, Tanks would be far more powerful and vital in securing a win.
Unfortunately, time has proven that this decision has not done nearly enough to help out the Tank role.
These tests are taking time to actually implement in-game due to two main reasons.
The second reason has to do with the aforementioned queue times.
Just flipping the switch and returning to 6v6 would likely cause a return to previous queue times or worse.
Is there a world where people are willing to live with long queue times to play this format?
Maybe, but thats a pretty risky move to make.
Whether thats a world of 5v5, 6v6 or even both, is for future us to figure out.
In other words: no promises, but Blizzard is looking into bringing 6v6 back.
