Yeah, itâd be nice if we had a new tank/support that catered to speed boosting or teleporting. Cause for me personally, I hate playing Lucio but heâs the only one that has a speed boost that is catered towards basically the entire team.
Edit: maybe temporarily phasing could be a thing eventually(kinda like tracers recall)
I think maybe another healer that can provide speed.
I think Brigitteâs ultimate speed should apply to her whole team, I guess itâs still not much competition because Lucioâs is constant and the extra speed on a 12 sec CD.
Iâve never understood why her ultimate only applies to herself, but I guess maybe 6 people getting armour and speeding in⌠might be very OP
DM is unique and does multiple functions, one of which happens to be very high impact, which makes it hard to balance.
Speed boost is similar but all its functions are high-impact enough, so itâs basically just nerfing it into the exact right spot that makes it balanced that matters. Itâs technically easier than dva cuz the speed boost sweet spot doesnât need as much trial-&-error to find.
Healing wasnât what GOATS was about
It was about getting in and winning the fight as quick as possible
Pocket the charged Zarya
Kill discorded targets
Let Reinhardt do his thing
GOATS wasnât a new concept
Deathball was a thing long before GOATS
GOATS was just a Deathball variant with Brigitte as the standout
but all Deathball comps are built on the foundation of Lucioâs Speed Boost
Without Lucio it would all fall apart
Brig made GOATS GOATS
but without Lucio there wouldnât be the chance to make it in the first place
But wasnât mandatory. Thatâs what Iâm talking about. Also, Dive with Zen Lucio ⌠good luck playing those two supports if you werenât GM. Youâd be whined at all game due to low healing output.
Lucio made Reinhardt the dominant main tank for GOATS; I think without that Winston would be more viable but I suspect after shield bash got nerfed those times Winston would have been better way faster. On second thought, the aoe healing might have still been too much for him.
