It's amazing, isn't it? We have just shy of 30 unique characters to play as, and people seem stuck on the same 8-10.
I still prefer goats over being stuck in middle gold where whatever team has a phara-mercy automatically win.
They'd have to do a pretty huge overhaul to the game and make a lot of characters less niche to lower the impact meta can have on this game.
And also admit that they fucked up with the direction of a lot of heroes currently.
I don't even know how a hero like Torbjorn or Symmetra is even supposed to be viable when you have heroes like Hanzo with regular abilities much stronger than their ultimates functioning at a much longer range.
tracer is quite literally the box art for the game
People latch on to meta too much, unfortunately. There is not a single time where team will legitimately say "Hey, let's play for fun and not pick meta, that'll interest the public".
excepted if you play DotA 2 where you can legitimately play everything because Icefrog is a god at balancing

This was the second ranked game I played on the new patch. Thanks Blizzard.
Who would have guessed that just upping Reaper's life steal doesnt magically make him better at fighting Support heroes.
Hell, Reaper and Zarya are practically the same size, he's only good against 2/6 of the goats lineup.
On top of that, picking Reaper would just make your team not-GOATs/not-GOATs counter and therefor put you at a disadvantage, wouldn't it?
I have to say, comp ctf is pretty fun. The points on busan are pretty well redesigned, allowing for some strategic plays. Torbjörn is pretty fun since you can play him defensively, he is great for area denial and against players clumped together on the flag and there is a clear risk/reward strategy in how far forward his turret should be placed. Let's see how how long it takes for me to burn out on this event.
Issue i have with CTF is its only fun if people just universally agree not to tank bum rush it.
The meta of that mode is always going to be 4 tanks Moira + Lucio, have Roadhog grab it and all the other tanks cover him with shield abilities and ignore everything else.
At least you can't just jump-jet/fly/blink away with it anymore.
I still don't think Reaper is OP but holy shit 90% of my games involve me begging people to SHOOT REAPER please just SHOOT HIM
I had a real good Reaper last night who could actually stop the tank death-ball of comp ctf (with the rest of the team pitching in). If a player with a burst damage ult hides and lets the enemy team catch the flag and manages a team-wipe that is an ideal chance to cap for yourself! Was a lot of fun.
I can´t deny that but at least once the death-ball is stopped it is much harder for it to pick up speed again, even more so than in regular comp (as long as no ults are wasted) since the matches are so short.
Blizzard’s balancing is like trying to use water to clean laundry detergent.
Or pouring in bleach in a bunch of dirty clothing without bothering to wash them.

New Paris Map added
Armor Given from Brigitte is now placed on top of shields rather than below it.
I can't say anything about it since I didn't play on it, just looked at, but Paris is a very pretty map. But I imagine it's built just like all the other ones and there's some mid-choke that will tear at the insides of the people playing offense.
I think them doing a french map is a prelude to maxiamillion

how health works now
Have we seen non-recoverable health yet?
With the rally nerf, it really is better this way. Its not a nerf to brig, and only a buff if she has shield-having heroes on her team.
no
some are speculating that it might be overheal like the tf2 medic
so posisbly a new mechianic for the next hero
I know I have mentioned this before, but my personal canon (from way back when Zen and Bastion were the only omnics revealed) is that Zen was a sexbot before he became a monk. That his why he has to wear pants and Bastion don´t.
Baggypants
Still slapping people with his balls to this very day.
