    As a veteran player since 2016, im loving this, yes fights take longer and stuff, but theyre no longed dictated by wheter you lost one tank or not. In 5v5, if you get rid of one support OR the tank, you pretty much lose the fight and gotta regroup, in 6v6 theres a lot mote fightback potential, team fights feel like actual team fights insead of "avoid the tank, kill the healer" and also having 2 tanks makes all of the players equal in value

    I've been playing since 2018 and maining tank (Dva at the time), so I experienced 6v6 and 5v5, and honestly always preferred 5v5. So when the whole 6v6 debate really started taking off in the community, I was very much a 6v6 sceptic. I tried out this mode not expecting much and... surprisingly I actually love it! Maybe it's because most of my 6v6 experience was under GOATS era and the balance team being AFK during that time, or maybe it's just all the heroes (especially tanks) and QOL changes since then have really added up, but whatever it is, this new 6v6 is different and more fun than either 5v5 OR old 6v6 for me. It actually gives me real hope that this will actually shake things up in a good way for the game and that it has a bright future ahead of this as long as the devs keep experimenting and being willing to try new things even when those things are radical.

    I loved playing Doom and being able to play as DOOM… I loved being a flanking tank and then having another tank stay back and hold the line!!!
    That’s LITERALLY the best thing ever.

However, roadhog needs his rework back or a new rework just like OW1 I hate having a hog as a tank cause it means you only have 1 tank. Doom as a co dive tank with Dva is really fun. I think I am gonna be an off tank main for the next few weeks

    I’ve been playing exclusively 6v6 since the test started, it’s much more fun as a tank and pretty much the same for dps, but playing support doesn’t feel as impactful anymore, it also gets a little crowded which has pros and cons. overall I still vastly prefer it over 1-2-2 5v5 because double tank is really important to me, but I also think limit 2 5v5 was really great as well and would compete with 6v6 for best gamemode in my mind

But yeah my least favorite tanks to go against are d.va and zarya if they're really really good. If theyre average it's not bad. Some of them doom players are crazy though omg!!! Haha.

    Great video as always keep it up! The 6v6 test shows how superior the game format is. All roles feel so much better. Almost everyone in the comments agrees as it seems. Hope they add a ranked mode and all tank players just q 6v6 so they delete the awful 5v5 experience, wich is just deathmatch with one tank player..

    The only soreness so far is undoing some changes that made a hero feel better overall rather than strictly being about them being the only Tank. Zarya bubbles reverting after 2 years feels very clunky and, oppressive as Orisa can be, crit immunity on Fortify felt like part of its identity

    I've been exclusively playing 6v6 and loving it, but if the min 1 max 3 test is not a role queue and instead is a first come first serve kind of system I won't be playing it. Without role queue the leavers skyrocket. I don't think there's a point of some kind of hybrid open queue / role lock system. Just have 6v6 role queue and 6v6 open queue and everyone is happy. Can even keep 5v5 as an arcade mode.

    I need to play 6v6 more to truly form an opinion, but so far I am... struggling on support. I hate the defensive/healbotting playstyle that I often feel like I have to take, and the lack of options to make a game-changing play is a little upsetting. DPS feels good, probably better than in 5v5. Tank also doesn't feel *horrible*, but I personally haven't felt any substantial changes yet. I also hate the whole "main tank" "off-tank" thing that, unfortunately, has proven to be a necessity in my games so far. It feels restricting as hell

    This 6v6 is good. Blizzard still has a LOOONGGGGGGG road of reconstruction to bring most of us “regulars” back. The community is still too Toxic. Almost every one of my friends that I tried getting to play, have lasted a year or so before going to other games as it’s a combo platter of window licking products of parents that are first cousins versus basement goblins 🧌 that spew off nothing but unhinged anger and toxicity lol not a good escape from “reality” for most of us gamers.
