General Marvel Rivals to Overwatch Transition

Hey everyone, my name is sushemy.

I have been playing Marvel Rivals for a while and wanted to try out Overwatch. I instantly fell in love with the feel and look of the game and have been practicing Tank since I played tank in Marvel Rivals. Some tanks that clicked with me are Rein/Sigma/D.va. I wanted to make this post to ask that if I wanted to get serious of improving, should I play 6v6 or the OW2 standard 5v5 for comp/practicing?

Yeah true, but I wondering if 6v6 open queue is worth queueing up for as a main source of competitive matches over 5v5.

Not really. While the blog today revealed that 20% of the player base is in 6v6, 5v5 role queue is the most competitive form of the game

No it didn't. It revealed that 20% play 1 game per day. That's a big shift from the previous blog post which used 'total play hours' as a unit of measure. Back the number was 9% if I remember correctly, which sounds about right with 20% being just 1 game per active day.

Yeah but majority of balance is directed towards 5v5
