Among all the changes in the switch from Overwatch to Overwatch 2, the biggest - and most controversial - was the move from 6v6 to 5v5 matches. Earlier this year, Blizzard indicated that a return to 6v6 wasn't entirely off the table, and now the devs are laying out some concrete plans toward deciding what that return might look like.
Season 14 will see the launch of two different 6v6 test modes. A week into the season, Blizzard is launching what it calls "Min 1, Max 3," where each team must have at least one, but no more than three of a given role type. The idea here is to experiment with a format that finds a "middle ground" between role queue and open queue. A more traditional 2-2-2 test will take place during "Season 14 midcycle."
