Blizzard announced on November 10, 2026 that Overwatch Season 6 will start with a four-week 2-2-2 Role Queue 6v6 Competitive mini season, next to 5v5 and Open Queue 6v6. Which one will you queue for?

What Blizzard wrote (Director's Take by Aaron Keller, November 10, 2026, read November 13, 2026, Paris time): three Competitive options on day one (5v5, Open Queue 6v6, Role Queue 6v6 test); a dedicated 6v6 balance patch that also applies to Open Queue; matchmaking changes meant to keep queue times "more manageable"; 5v5 stays the main mode. Blizzard also admits Role Queue could increase queue times "significantly". The post gives no hero list for the balance patch and no start date; Video Games Chronicle reports December 8.
Our questions:
- Which will you play first: 5v5, Open Queue 6v6 or Role Queue 6v6? Why?
- Which role do you main (tank, damage, support) and how long are your queues today?
- Are you worried about waiting for tanks in a 2-2-2 match, and would you flex to tank to shorten the queue?
- Which heroes do you think should change in a 6v6 balance patch? (Blizzard only named D.Mon as stronger and Domina as weaker in 6v6.)
- Should the four-week test become permanent, or stay a limited mode?
