What I hope doesn't happen: Parallels. Balancing 1 game is hard enough, I don't wanna see them attempt to run 5v5 and 6v6 as equals. There should always be a dedicated main format, having the other one around for experiments/rotating in arcade would be fine (6/6)

What I hope for: fun. I hope the devs can make an allround enjoyable game. I don't really care whether that happens with 5v5 or 6v6, but given the time they have put into 5v5 in the last years, I think a switch back to 6v6 is unlikely as that would require equally massive adjustments. (5/6)

especially opening up maps and having no hard chokes, but also the changes made to existing and the approach for new heroes. And I think there exists a world where 6v6 would have been tweaked to a level that addresses most of these problems as well. (4/x)

like the double shield problem at its core, tank queue time problems, sustain-based comps, and more.

The important distinction to make here is: I don't think 5v5 was the only possible answer to these. A good part can be attributed to a change in design philosophy as well (3/x)

I also was co-captain, captain, manager, coach, and org owner, so I've been around for a bit.

think 5v5 brought many improvements to the game. The lack of a 2nd tank means more playmaking ability (and need to do so) for all DPS and supports, which I like. It also fixed some other issues, (2/x)

Shortly about my history: I started playing in S19 of OW1 (right when Role Queue was introduced), reached T500 in both OW1 and OW2, played nearly all roles (no MT) in teams from plat to 4.5k scrims, in total I estimate ~10k hours in both games. (1/x)

There should also be a "here's what's new/what's changed in the meantime" section

Used to have an org with a couple OW teams (folded around new years), played OW at a high level (Top20 OD, 1st league Uni league) still am board member of a local esports club, so yeah you could say I am somewhat involved

Haven't streamed in a while, prob should get back to it tho, was always fun

My main interests are esports and gaming and stuff like that
I know that there are some twitch streamers on here, and saw some game related stuff as well, but most of the usual esports people/orgs arent, which is a bit sad
