Hundreds of Overwatch fans vote on 5v5 vs 6v6, and the results might surprise you
The venue in Toronto was packed for the Overwatch League 2023 playoffs, with a roaring crowd cheering for every amazing play. While that was going on, though, one fan got everyone’s opinion on the decision that differentiated Overwatch from Overwatch 2.
Hundreds of fans voted on a sign that avid fan Slamtaro brought to the venue, with two options for a vote: 5v5 or 6v6. I was one of the first to vote on it, and I ended up as part of the majority. A total of 679 votes were cast, with the winning 367 voting for 5v5. It was a relatively even split for a game that only got this change in recent years, but a slight majority of fans in Toronto agreed that 5v5 was better.
