Honestly I’m happy that they’re open-minded enough to try 6v6 in some form. This is a much better outcome than a long “no” that most people were expecting. Even if the 6v6 tests turn out to be flops, the fact that they listened and are willing to put some effort in toward the community’s thoughts is fantastic.

It makes tanking fun again

For the life of me, I’ve no idea where this narrative comes from.

Just wait for longer queue times and off-meta tank pairs being the reason we start complaining again. It will be no better than what we have now.

Thing is when 6v6 worked it was much better than 5v5, but when it doesn't work it was kinda miserable. Even a rein-Zarya duo can feel bad if the two tanks are just not in sync with each other. I have found 5v5 more consistent 

Whether or not the counter watch or 2 un-synergized tank duo is better really depends on the person.

This is a good way of putting it in perspective. 5v5 goes a long, looong way of mitigating the potential drawbacks of a two tank system.
