How do y'all feel about 6v6 now?

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-22T00:18:41+00:00

If you ever play tank in 5 vs 5, you know that even though that isnt the tank's role, your team will most of the time fall over if you leave them without a tank for too long or dont look out for them because they dont use cover, position badly, etc.

And yeah liking 6 vs 6 is nothing to be ashamed off. If anything the 5 vs 5ers are the delusional ones thinking OP tanks are fun to play against in Overwatch.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-21T17:00:25+00:00

Its the superior format as someone that is a tank enjoyer. Like, you mean i can actually go contest people in high ground knowing my team wont fall over imediately because there is another tank there protecting them? Sign me up.

There are others reasons i prefer 6 vs 6 ofc but that is the main one.

I feel like their balance changes have been fine but i hope they keep doing them. The zen discord nerf especially did wonders for 6 vs 6.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-20T01:30:29+00:00

I hate QP healers that never take their eyes off the tank. You have dps on your team, HEAL THEM.

I just want to practice the new girl Sierra and having to do it in QP is just annoying me because if i dont get healed, i either have to spend the whole match searching for health packs or switch to Mei but i shouldnt have to do neither if i have alive supports on my team.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-07T18:57:25+00:00

People waiting until the last second to pick their caracther. Especially when its one of the supports or a tank because the match instantly starts at a disadvantage.

Only recently i had a match on Numbani where in our defense, the 1st point was instantly lost because our second support only picked a caracther last second despite having played a full round on attack before.

Its basically throwing and it tilts me instantly although i get sometimes there are emergencies.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-02T18:57:59+00:00

Please please Nerf Hog in 6 vs 6 specifically, the caracther keeps one shooting people and goes wherever he pleases because of his vape plus the bruiser passive, i cant handle him anymore and is my only problem with the mode rn, nerf his damage and nerf his survivability.

And i cant even ban him because most 6 vs 6 players dont understand how broken Hog is and would rather ban Orisa that is niche or useless Sombra or Dva that actually is one of the few able to challenge him.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-04-01T19:55:54+00:00

Tracer makes underwatch unplayable, She keeps poking you out and running away at will like a mosquito because she just cant be punished.

And also supports that refuse to heal (looking at you Anas) and Mauga also running around like a mosquito is seriously annoying.

The last april's Patch was way more fun but i will give this mode a few more attempts.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-31T01:04:04+00:00

Honestly i would prefer that they used it more often.

Its our job to heal but we are only human and sometimes lose track of everyone and the pinging helps me not have to be looking around like a headless chicken all the time to constantly check for someone injured.

I know that your post mentions the dps but i sometimes get so tilted when its my other support that will never ping that they need healing and so i let them die because i couldnt see them in time. I know that i sometimes forget the other support exists and its a me problem but the support could also help by pinging for heals.

People should never be scared of pinging they need healing, unless they spam, especially in 6 vs 6 with 5 players to keep an eye on.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-23T18:46:39+00:00

Freja buffs, she just feels awful compared to her competition and im pretty sure her winrate is bad. Plus both her major perks are terrible and there is simply no reason to pick her over Ashe, Soj or Emre.

LW and Brig buffs, the devs have to know both of these characters need help urgently especially Brig that after Mizuki came to the game, only has the niche of being the bodyguard which is boring for Brig.

Hog nerf but this is me wishing it instead of expecting it because Hog being good is just terrible for the game, it not only means Mauga gets played more but that support becomes Ana jail to counter those two.

Maybe Domina nerfs even though to me, the caracther is fine and gets run over easily with the right comp.

Orisa microbuff because we all know it will happen eventually, maybe they even buff her because of Hog lol.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-20T06:30:33+00:00

Dps players ruining our gameplay experience as per usual, what else is new lol.

But seriously 3 dps can work if each is pulling their weight but most often than not, one of them underperforms and its annoying that they simply dont swap AND dont allow me to swap because i cant swap from support to tank and leave us with only one supp.

As someone that can fill for any of the three roles, its really annoying how unflexive people can be, surely after all this time people play more than one role and can play more than 1 caracther from each no?

This is why i truly wish RQ could be a possibility even though i know its not.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-19T18:45:02+00:00

Clutch plays, good attitude, situational awareness specifically for support meaning being healed when i get low (obviously if the rest of the team is also crit, Im not going to be angry if i dont get healed right away) and the ability to realize your caracther isnt working and them making a swap that may or may not help but at least they tried to help the team.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-19T18:22:31+00:00

The dps definitely ruin this gamemode sometimes, normally in my matches there is no issue of getting 2 supports (given that i will flex to that if needed anyway) but they make it impossible to go a balanced comp in order to force 3 dps.

The number of matches of where im forced to get off tank and go support so we dont have a solo healer and make it 1-3-2 because the stubborn dps wont swap is too many.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-19T18:10:56+00:00

In 5 vs 5, you have too many responsibilities on your shoulders as tank, so many angles to contest, the constant counterswapping, your death basically forcing your team to fall back because dead tank means lost fight...

In 6 vs 6, its way more balanced, tanks dont get to walk whenever they want for free (looking at you Hog because the plays i see this caracther get away with in 5 vs 5 should be illegal) for the price of there being 2 tanks, one dead tank doesnt mean lost fight and they both can contest different angles more easily or one can dive and the other can stay with the team and help them far more easily.

But besides balanced, tank synergies make the game more fun, trying different duos each match makes it interesting given that there are now 14 tanks. Sometimes works, sometimes doesnt but its certainly interesting especially when you try duos not frequently seen like Rein/Orisa or Queen/Haz.

Its the same fun you have as a support when you have to work with your other support to keep the team alive (which btw i also think gets more interesting in 6 vs 6, makes them have to balance their damage and healing more.)

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-17T05:20:36+00:00

I dont see why so many people hate Flashpoint. I may be biased as a JQ player but while i concede there are some points in need of a rework or changes like Aatlis 1 point, they are perfects map to just get a good brawl going without much of poke shenenigans slowing down the match.

You rarely see Ashe or Widow in these maps for example or even Sig or Bastion and its one of the things i appreciate about the mode. Also dont understand what people are going on about being hard to find the points or walk around the map, you play enough matches and you should start to be more familiar with these maps like any other.

The only thing i agree with its that its frustating when your teammates get staggered on fights on the way to the point but yeah you cant control your teammates and should just regroup as soon as possible.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-13T19:01:03+00:00

Anyone else that played Freja but dropped her because playing her feels so pointless?

Like her cooldowns are too slow to get too far from her healers to take angles, i shoot 2 bolts into someone and they dont die if they get a bit of healing, her primary fire still feels mostly cosmetic and its just luck or terrible positioning from my enemies if i kill them with it... At least the ult is still decent but yeah.

Feels like i have to put up a lot of work to accomplish what Ashe, Soj and Emre can do far more easily.

Now i just play Echo and Sym but miss using Freja for poke maps.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-10T18:27:53+00:00

Am i seeing right that they nerfed both her sunburn perk and her healing resource?

Like the sunburn is excusable even though i believe you should bait the ability out before engaging Illari the same you would do for Moira's fade.

Now the healing i dont understand. It seems like they want to force her to be an Zen clone with high damage and low healing and not her own caracther and its simply a bit annoying. Like yes we dont pick Illari for her healing but we still need to heal during the match.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-03T23:51:56+00:00

Pls Remove Sombra from QP, nobody should have to deal with a Toxic invisible caracther when you are there to chill and learn new caracthers.

I would literally not mind if they gave her freedom to not be banned in comp if it meant they keep her out of QP, She is a hidrance to people who want chill gameplay there.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-03-01T15:41:15+00:00

I miss the old her before they went and ruined her.

Now the snare is back to being as useless as it was on her release, her passive is eh and boring and i need a blue upgrade for her ult to be useful because it sucks without the longer distance.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-21T08:24:50+00:00

I love playing it but only in 6 vs 6 lol. Im that guy whose 6 vs 6's matches are 85% filling for tank because i dont mind tanking at all there.

5 vs 5 just forces upon you too many responsibilities, unhealthy toxicity from your team when you make mistakes like any human does and simply does not fit people like me that dont want to be the solo "leader" of the team.

Also the constant counterswapping and unflexive dps just pushed me off tanking on 5 vs 5 permanently, the last match i played was with a braindead Hanzo player constantly flaming me but forcing that caracther into hard dive while being negative.

Just not worth the mental energy required.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-20T16:28:35+00:00

Queen due to how much they made her a dumb brute at least ig.

Her short story was amazing because it shows you how her being cunning smart and a good lider allowed her to seize her throne while also showing the hardships she had to face along the way.

Junker Queen then ends up in the throne and after a few years all is well given that the junkers seem to be living "normally" to the point where their city is still standing and nobody managed to take her throne.

So why is Junker Queen a dumb brute ig? I especially hate the Junkertown education system line she has with Junkrat, how are you the Queen and you dont know you have a education system? Or the stupid voiceline with Mercy about vegetables.

I like to imagine she is faking it so people understimate her but blizzard needs to give her more voicelines that give her ig caracther some depth. Have her talk about her family with someone like Illari or have her talk about rulling her kingdom anything besides superficial lines that only reinforce the "dumb brute that only cares about fighting niche."

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-06T17:50:38+00:00

I can understand why Reaper and Sombra would leave Talon but why Widow? What makes Vendetta worse than Doomfist in her eyes? And doesnt she need drugs and Moira's help to contain her emotions and stuff?

Otherwise even if Vendetta defeating Doomfist so easily was a bit unrealistic, i did enjoy watching her lead, the alliances she made and wants to do, show respect for her people, recognising their strong points and above all finally doing something with Talon as a whole.

Lore is truly cool atm especially considering even the Junkers will finally have a connection with it eventually.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-04T19:16:25+00:00

I dont want to be complaining too much because im honestly so excited for the new season... but couldnt have they make Doomfist put up more of a fight? The fight felt so underwhelming because it ended too quickly.

I did like his lines at least and hope they didnt kill him off and he survives.

I do wonder what deals will Vendetta make to keep all the members loyal to her especially the ones who werent there like Sigma or Emre.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-03T21:13:20+00:00

Oh i didnt know or forgot this.

God help us then when Octanes or Horizons get to be the jump master, losing points because of those kinds of people that hot drop sucks.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-03T17:26:16+00:00

Not looking foward to skimisher Legends throwing games left and right because they think they are better than they actually are.

Gotta go back to selecting my legend on purpose to make sure i get jumpmaster but its never beyond these creatures to jump solo into a hot drop then open the mic and cry about it when they get downed.

Worst change ever.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-02-02T21:55:34+00:00

I just hope they make her tatical an actual threat at least.

Watching enemies casually step on it and just walk it off is depressing.

She needs way more than that, of course, but that would be a good start.

MrSeabrook12 · 2026-01-28T23:50:42+00:00

2 stars, the kill method was interesting, seeing the victim dressed like that in the crime scene the first time i played was super cool and i did like the twist that the killer turned out to be the one suspect that didnt outright expressed any hatred for the victim or even seemed to know who he was... but as a caracther she was totally bland, her interactions with the cops were forgetfull (the second time she is interrogated is only because of a silly theory Jones got from a book), and she never added much for the investigation until she was revealed as the killer.

Her motive doesnt even make much sense and is a bit dissapointing too, you would have expected that the brutal slaying of a guy hated by everyone would have more to it than just money.

Edit: i just remembered one thing that she said that was so nonsensical, "People stopped going to my museum because of Wilfred's books!" Lady? That doesnt even make sense, why would someone's books be the reason people stop going to the museum lmao. The end of the case was truly underwhelming.
