Overwatch 2 Is Removing The Second Tank Slot From PVP Teams
According to the game's
new director, Aaron Keller (Jeff Kaplan's replacement), Overwatch PVP matches will be reduced from six players per team, down to just five. Sorry Tank players, but there'll no longer be a second Tank per team. Going forward, all teams will be comprised of two damage, two support, and just one Tank.
Here's what Keller had to say about these changes:
“Overwatch has changed over time. We’ve gone from having no hero limits...to having a hero limit. We ended up introducing a role lock over the course of the game. We feel like this is the next step in the way Overwatch ought to be played.”
