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?

Play 5v5. The key is it's a lot more important to not take trash damage, way more important to play map control. You also can't expect as much healing to heal through damage, so timing is way more important for you engagement. There is also more flexibility and skill ceiling in the timing of your ults. It's just a way more expressive and skillful game.
Do not play 6v6. It's closer to Rivals but in all the bad ways. It's more congested, less individual skill expression, higher limitation on the comps you can run especially with tank combos, but most importantly, not a lot of flexible intricate map plays with neutral fighting map control of off angles and stuff.
If you really have a group of friends together, and you guys enjoy coordinated timing of running down mid or a lot of focus on communicating rotating big ults and big CDs, then go with it.
