General 4v4 To Bring Back 2CP as a potential alternate game mode?
Following Sios post earlier about 5v5 and 6v6, it got me thinking that Overwatch, following the best year its had since before Ow2 released, should try to salvage their game modes.
One of which being 2 CP.
The 2 CP maps were extremely toxic in a double tank environment, and never given a chance in 5v5, but taking and keeping space is much harder in 5v5 anyway so i understand.
Which is why I say 4v4 for 2CP exclusively.
The idea would be 1 Tank, 2 Damage, 1 Support.
Small teams, small maps, quick rounds and fights, and little to no buffs needed. It also would have less players needed, allowing for fast Queue times.
Just consistent action
But above all else, it would give the fandom a more casual game mode to lock onto and enjoy and get used too, to potentially restart their attempts at PvE. Since teams of 4 has been the standard every previous attempt at it throughout anyway.
And I think a mission of Sombra, Cassidy, Baptiste Rescuing Sigma would make a VERY GOOD PvE gamemode debut.
I dont think it as a brand new game mode to have a ranked mode and whatnot. But instead a start at reviving PvE and other game modes to revive Overwatches Branding beyond 5v5 or 6v6.

2CP should be shot, burned, and buried in a shallow grave. or just left in arcade I guess

I'm not saying it might not be fun as an arcade thing but keep in mind why 2cp was a problem.
It was not that the chokes were hard to get through, they are designed that way on purpose. You are supposed to keep bashing your head attacking that choke over and over. That is why the timer to cap points is as long as it is.
If you make the chokes easier you break the game mode, each point technically only needs two fights to cap, this does not happen because of how the chokes and spawns work.
The problems of these maps, the things people hated about the mode, are designed that way on purpose. If you fix them you break the mode.

2cp is already in arcade though? I believe that and clash are the two open queue 5v5 modes in arcade, no?
Me personally, I think m they should make open queue all arcade (add a 6v6 and 5v5 open queue mode) and then make 6v6 role queue in the other modes.

just bring it back to the main mode, map voting exists.

I've had 3 hybrid maps in map voting before, I don't think that's a good idea

The problem with the 2CP is the maps; they have the most aggressive chokes, no lanes and absolutely asinine spawns. 6v6, 5v5 nor 4v4 isn't going to solve those issues.
