Overwatch 2 Season 14 will have two different opportunities to try 6v6; the first will use a new “Open Queue” format where each team of six must have at least one of each role (tank, damage, support) and no more than three of any role. You’ll also be able to switch roles on the fly. The second 6v6 test will happen in the middle of the season and will let you have two of each role per team.

There will also be a 5v5 test in Season 13 in which there will be a maximum of two players in each role, and tanks will be weaker than previously.

I just want Mystery Heroes back as open queue. Yeah I know it’s on arcade, but I’m in a region where I literally cannot play anything in arcade because of low player counts. At least out both open and role queue mystery heroes back into quick play where it’s on an equal footing in terms of players choosing which they prefer.
 
I played a ton of Overwatch in the years leading up to OW2. Despite the lack of new content and silly balance I had a ton of fun playing the game and playing a bunch of different roles. 5v5 threw a wrench in it and I stopped playing a few weeks after launch.

The return of 6v6 is the only thing that can bring me back.
 
This MIGHT just get me back into it. Still hate the overall progression of unlocking things, if you'd even call it that. As divisive as lootboxes had been, you at least were guaranteed something every time you levelled up.
