Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future (www.dexerto.com)

Lol. After all these years they're thinking of rolling back the 5v5 changes. To quote someone from Reddit:

PVE was dropped, heroes are free again, and now 6v6 is back. Blizzard spent the last couple of years turning overwatch 2 back into Overwatch 1.

Edit: See also the developer's blog post about this, which goes into great detail explaining their decisions over the year and how we got here. Really worth a read if you are (or were) an OW player.

Next they'll drop the "2" in the name and went full circle.

Adding the 2 was the worst choice they ever made IMO

It was to disguise their excuse to add macrotransactions. "It's a new game! Not a shit patch!"

Overwatch 1.2, which would be more accurate?

Why not 1.6 to attract the Counter-Strike crowd

*1.3, 1.5 is also acceptable.
