The snow storm is recovering 6v6 matches in tests for supervision 2 when it releases its next season in December. The company had previously shifted the series to a 5v5 format, and Blizzard is now testing these tests to find how it can “make the core game even stronger” through a new balanced version of the classic 6v6 mode that allows each team have multiple tank characters. one more time.
Game director Aaron Keller says that Blizzard knows that the 5v5 format attracted and attracted a new group of players, and the developers hope to repeat that success with the addition of 6v6 (which will not replace the current formats). For a detailed report of what’s changing, you can read the director’s full opinion.
In July, Keller noted that some of the issues facing 6v6 were hero balance, game performance, and how to ensure players can still quickly get into games if the population is split between 5v5 and 6v6 game modes. . A hero balance change includes giving tanks less survivability and making them less powerful.
supervision 2 Season 14 will have two different opportunities to try out 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 each role. You’ll also be able to switch roles on the fly. The second 6v6 test will take place mid-season and will allow you to have two of each role per team.
There will also be a 5v5 test in Season 13 where there will be a maximum of two players in each role and the tanks will be weaker than before.
My colleague Richard Lawler, who is an avid gamer, said supervision 2The change that removed a tank player from each team simplified the game, but also “made it seem like the outcome of the game depended too much on that role.”
