6v6 game mode

Season 14 of OW2 will officially kick off the playtest for a 6v6 game mode. Featuring nostalgic elements from the previous rendition of the title, players will be able to queue for role-locked 6v6 gameplay with modern balance and the latest heroes in the game.

With role lock, players will be restricted to choosing two tanks, two damage heroes, and two supports in every match. There will be no flexibility with regard to this rule in order to preserve the competitive integrity of the game and ensure proper balancing within the mode.
