This means that this six-vs-six variation will allow for up to three of one class, but requires at least one of every class. Fans will be able to play a composition of three tanks, two supports, and one DPS, or two tanks, three supports, and one DPS, and so on.<\/p>
“There are a few different combinations here that you will be able to try, but this opens up many different team compositions that we haven\u2019t seen before in OW2<\/em>,” Blizzard said. “You will be able to switch roles on the fly during a match as long as that switch doesn\u2019t break the ‘Min 1, Max 3’ limit.”<\/p>
The second test will take place during the midseason cycle of season 14 will feature the classic “2-2-2” composition, but it will incorporate changes made in OW2<\/em> such as less crowd control, new hero reworks, and more. Blizzard warned that the tests will also have their own series of balance changes, such as lowering the survivability and power of tanks, to go with it.<\/p>
Not to be left out, five-vs-five will also have some experimentation as well. The first test is called “Limit 2,” which limits hero roles to two apiece, but includes tanks so teams could field two tanks if they wish. The second test is named “Kingmaker,” which is the same as Limit 2, but gives “a bonus” to the player who is alone in their role.<\/p>
Testing both five-vs-five and six-vs-six is Blizzard’s effort to “make the game that you want to play,” no matter what that looks like, including having both six-vs-six and five-vs-five options available.<\/p>
