Game director Aaron Keller acknowledges the appeal of the 5v5 format to new players, noting that Blizzard aims to enhance the core game by testing 6v6.
In July, Keller pointed out that 6v6 faced challenges regarding hero balancing, game performance, and potential issues with player populations being split between 5v5 and 6v6.
The upcoming 6v6 tests will feature new formats, including Open Queue where each team must have at least one of each role and no more than three duplicates.
Richard Lawler observed that the removal of one tank from each team in Overwatch 2 simplified the game but made outcomes heavily reliant on that single role's performance.
