DPS mains and Off Tanks are still enjoying the game. Main Tanks and Supports are having a rough time though.

Hog replaced Reinhardt? Didn’t think his buff/nerf would have changed all that much.
Where did you hear that from ?

I don’t think it is the only viable comp, though. Roadhog’s obviously immensely popular now, but that’s probably more because it’s the first time he’s been playable since the release of Sigma and Role Queue.
Pretty much any combination of [Roadhog or Zarya] with Rein/Ball/Sigma seems to be fine right now. After the longtime pseudo-separation of “main” and “off” tanks and former omnipresence of barriers, it feels foreign, but there’s a pretty decent range of possibilities for all roles.

Nope this meta is possibly the worst for me.
Can’t play MT because I get nuked from orbit
Don’t enjoy OT because there isn’t any structure due to the lack of main tank + I get nuked from orbit
Don’t enjoy Ana due to lack of frontline
Not good enough at zen to deal with this death match style
Brig is now trash and almost unusable even in her niche
Lucio is basically just a battle toad at this point
Moira isn’t fun due to the lack of frontline and deathball being punished heavily
Only role I enjoy playing at this point is dps, of which I enjoy torb, bastion, tracer, sym and hanzo
So basically the game for me at this point is tracer, who I’m not consistent on at all

There are problems, but I like the general direction. I don’t care about what my co-DPS or co-support picks for the most part, tanks should have that same freedom. There’s no more begging for one of our tanks to play the mandatory boring barrier tank, which is a bad situation for all involved.

Nope this is the worst state Overwatch has been.
And this meta will trickle down fast to silver if it remains. It’s not like double shield or GOATS that, comps that never showed up in diamond and below. Hog was already a good ranked solo queue pick.

It is clearly not the only viable comp. I have seen variations of Hog with other tanks and sometimes Zarya with other tanks. It is far less rigid than double shield where there were 3 possible tanks and 2 correct ones.
As for enjoyment, it is certainly better to be shooting at actual players versus the actual players shields. I think that is one thing I do like about this meta.

Nope not at all. Shields were a necessary evil in Overwatch, they just needed to make them less suffocating, not useless

it will last at least until January, it’s the patch for the playoffs and the final. They can’t just change or revert some buffs and nerfs like that.
Teams are doing scrims on that patch.
I think it’s a ton of fun right now because it’s 100% different than what we have seen before in game. It’s also rather comical as a meh 3k+ players with a huge FPS gaming background to see long time Overwatch player flounder at even basic rudimentary fundamentals of a more DM like play style.
I think the player base needed a mini wake up call.
Keep in mind changes come and go. I don’t expect this current crippled main tanks, huge power creep of hitscan sort of game play to last all that long.

I’m down for a change, a dynamic change, A NEW WORLD.
Let’s be honest, no matter what they do, short of perfectly balancing every character in the game, people aren’t going to like it.
I say give me the crazy dynamic shifts. Let me experience the wild side.
