Overwatch 2 Players Demand More From Blizzard After 6v6 Discussion

As a seasoned Overwatch player with countless hours spent in both versions, I must say, it feels like coming home again hearing about the potential return of some classic features from the original game. The excitement is palpable within the community and for good reason!


Overwatch 2‘s debate on the 6v6 format has seen a consensus between Blizzard and the gaming community. Blizzard is planning to experiment with fresh elements to ascertain if and how 6v6 fits into the existing gameplay dynamics. This announcement has sparked excitement among fans, who are now actively proposing older features that Blizzard might reconsider for reintegration.

Although certain proposals may stem from nostalgic feelings, others might genuinely enhance the gameplay experience. It’s time we take a fresh look at the suggestions from our gaming community, as we prepare for the arrival of 6v6 mode.

Players Are Calling for the Return of Features From Overwatch 1 That Were Removed in Overwatch 2

Supporters of Overwatch 2 have been vocal about wanting adjustments to the current system, especially when it comes to hero balance. Tired of persistent problems, several suggested going back to the 6-vs-6 format from Overwatch 1. This topic garnered significant attention online until Blizzard finally addressed it by announcing they will be testing a 6-vs-6 mode within Overwatch 2.

Building on their recent success, the players began considering further advancements. A point of consensus among them is that Overwatch 2 could benefit significantly from more backstory or lore. This is particularly noticeable when contrasted with the abundance of cutscenes, cinematics, and lore content found in Overwatch 1.

A player proposed an idea: “Rather than cinematics, they might want to develop an anime or TV series instead.” Given the game’s current standing, the adoration for its characters endures. Such a shift could be a substantial move for Blizzard, given the game’s popularity, the fondness for its characters, and their history of producing captivating content, it might be wise to explore this option.

A different idea was to bring back the team scorecards, as the post-game display in Overwatch 2 has been redesigned and no longer showcases player accomplishments like damage blocked or healing done – features that used to be popular among players. One Reddit user commented, “I understand they didn’t have much competitive value, but they were still enjoyable and highlighted stats that would otherwise go unnoticed.”

Furthermore, the initiator of the Reddit thread stated, “What I really enjoyed were loot boxes. In the past, you could gather a good number of them without spending a dime. I recall saving up and opening 30-40 at once, the thrill of discovering a rare skin was always invigorating.” However, while the enthusiasm for loot boxes is justifiable, Blizzard’s current approach seems effective, and integrating loot boxes might lead to potential legal issues.

In essence, since Blizzard is actively listening to player suggestions and brainstorming fresh concepts, there’s a potential chance that classic Overwatch elements might make a comeback in the future development of Overwatch 2.
