So how do we feel about this? I recall that most people praised dive meta to be peak Overwatch back in the day.

It would be cool if zen didn’t exist. It’s dive, but it’s more like… “blow up the enemy tank with discord” dive. And not “hey let’s… dive the squishy target” kinda dive.
Zen just makes any game he’s involved it, unplayable and a boring experience for the tank.

Dive was boring, so glad I don’t play anymore.
Like how is multiple people at once jumping on you, fun for anyone but the team diving?
Winston is boring, D.Va is boring, Ball is boring. There’s no fun in even playing dive for me.

Dive is fun if you’re the attacker, not so much if you’re defending.
Dive favors attackers by a lot, so trying to win defense is a tad bit harder.

People are handcuffed to dive. Its as simple as that. They act like the only comp that matters is “zoom zoom go fast” and that mindset has irreparably damaged Overwatch as a whole.

Ironically when Dive exist the queue times especially support drop significantly in the process
I don’t deny people like dive, obviously, but I think the fact that people will only accept dive is a problem. Other comps exist, but people pretend the game is balanced wrong if Dive isn’t the best strategy to use.

Happy TBH, Dive is just incredibly fun and is peak Overwatch when it comes to playing and watching. Tho I am a Kiriko main on support and a Tracer main on DPS so I am bound to be biased.

Any time Dive is meta game feels like queue ghost town. Only time feel like the game is flowing good when Rein is meta. Which in its own right is another problem

The game is boring as hell when poke is meta.
This is juat false. Rush/Dive comps where teams play faster paced is just better and more fun.

I’ll admit queues still confuse me; something about them I can’t seem to wrap my head around so I tend to not talk about them. However, I think queues are good when Reinhardt is meta due to Reinhardt being the basic example of a tank.
You’ll know you’re going to have a shield, you know he’ll absorb damage while walking forward, and I have to imagine most players will like that even if they don’t come on here and say it.

Queues were good when Rein,Mauga, and JQ were staple tanks. The rest feel like nobody was playing overall. DVA is an exception because big player base)
Cries in korean. Dive is never not meta here

I’m having a lot of fun. I’ll enjoy it until they inevitably nerf Genji next week.
Dive is my favorite meta. Always has been.

Because it is. Dive is meta when the most skilled heroes are the best.
A Dive meta is what good skill:reward looks like.

Dive meta is only fun if you’re the one diving. People who say it was peak Overwatch are either using rose-tinted glasses, listen to streamers who are way better than they are, care more about watching Overwatch eSports than playing the game, or are Genji/Tracer mains.

Dive is meta when the “press button to move fast” heroes are good. Its got nothing to do with “skill”. What is “skill” anyway? In this community, people think aiming takes no skill and moving is the height of skill. Come on.

These are the hardest heroes. Objectively. Mobility raises skill ceilings, sometimes to near infinite levels.
The movement isn’t the skill. The options it opens up is the skill ceiling. Understand?

That’s objectively true though. If all strategies are equally viable, then someone with the game sense and mechanics to play hyperaggressive super fast is favoured to win. Any time dive is not favoured to win, the game is in either its worst state, or close to it.
