With the launch of Overwatch 2, Blizzard made some drastic changes to its hero-shooter game. One of the most significant changes made was dropping the player count from 6v6 to 5v5, with one Tank, two Damage, and two Support heroes on any given team in Role Queue. Overwatch 2's switch to 5v5 helped the game address queue time problems and the "shield meta," but it has proven to be a tricky balancing act, with many Tank players complaining that the game is not as enjoyable as the original and its 6v6 setup.
