6v6 Customs

[Chaosphere]

Last night we played a few rounds of 6v6. It worked well when the teams are balanced  (something that is very important!)

I'm keen to organise more of these as playing with / against you lot is more fun than matchmaking IMO.

I think we currently have 3 teamspeak channels. Overwatch, team 1, team 2. If when doing customs we can have team 1 and 2 in the respective channels, and any extras that can't fit in wait in the general channel (where you will probably be able to group up for some matchmaking until a slot becomes free in the custom).

I did consider in game comms but the group vs game chats can be confusing! Team speak can be nice and easy if we follow these steps.

Re: numbers I think a good idea is to organise a time to show up for the custom games, and if we have too many we will also run some matchmaking and swap out a few players after every game so that everyone gets a go.

So for example tonight why don't we say 20:00 for some custom games. I will be there. Anyone else?

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this and how best to run it

Enjoyed last night's games, so will be there tonight, memory allowing!

[Chaosphere]

Great! I will be online and host the game, I'll add my battle tag to the other thread when I'm back from work so you can find me if I haven't added you already

Depending on numbers we could move to reserved slots and if late the slot frees up etc.. but let's see how it goes, first come first serve tonight- but we will rotate around and make room for all

Teams were a tad one sided for the first game, I'll try my best not to choose the Sniper tonight.

[TeaLeaf]

It's not a problem for you to choose the sniper Jewelz, it's just making sure that the overall teams are balanced so that everyone has fun, which in the first match they were not.   The second match was much better balanced and it we'll all get better as we get to know classes.  

I'll be trying Lucio tonight for the first time, so I'll have another learning curve to go through!

[Chaosphere]

Yah man play whoever you want to! Those second games were fantastic even though we lost, and the comms and teamwork trying to watch for you and shut you down was great fun.

Count me in! I main (meaning i know what button does what) most of characters so I dont mind what class I play. How about we set up an announcement for an event on steam for 20:00. Similar way we have with CSGO.

Nice to see its own forum now!
I'll MOST likely be available for at least a couple games before work

[Michelanio]

I really enjoyed last nights games (after some team tweaking) and I would be more then happy to do it again! downside is I work evenings the next 4 days but I'll be on and play as much as possible!

[Chaosphere]

Don't worry man we will undoubtedly organise more

And re steam announcements, that is a great idea and I think something we could do if we arrange 'official' nights in the future.. until then I think we will have enough general interest to just organise nights on here

[Prototype_Jay]

count me in. see you guys soon!
