Like I don’t say this as a joke or as an exaggeration. I’ve never seen a meta in OW2 that I have played against THIS amount. I mean unironically even during mauga being broken I saw more hero variety.
I have faced dva juno brig, this braindead BOT comp where the dva just flies in at mach 80 with 87000 HP and the ability to just blow someone up in 1 second, and then the most unkillable backline possible more than I faced any comp during their meta.
I’m talking flat out 10+ game stretches in a row of JUST dva juno brig. And if they don’t start out on it, when the next round starts after they got held or they lost the round, IMMEDIATELY dva juno brig swaps. It is astounding how dumb this comp is. I’ll get one breather game in between and then it’s straight back to dva juno brig games.
I can’t stop dva cause she’s moving faster than any hero has physically ever moved in overwatch history with the most survivability in the game stacked on top of it and then I can’t even kill the backline because it’s just not physically possible without a SQUADRON of a dive comp.
these nerfs cannot come soon enough. Holy christ save this game.

Sombra ain’t even getting nerfed tomorrow. They said it was happening in a different patch.
Juno isn’t even broken, it’s that rat hero brig that makes whatever support she’s paired with just physically impossible to kill because she has a 100+ hp heal on a 3 charge cooldown.
She’s the pocket support but for other support heroes, instead of like how mercy is the pocket support for dps.

I hate it. It’s the most boring thing ever.
Having supports who you can’t physically kill in a game where you NEED the supports to die or the tank never will either, is tiring to play against.
I think 1sec TTK is more boring though

Oh dva is boring too. But dva will end up getting nerfed and (hopefully) fall into obscurity. They refuse to touch brig’s ability to just make backlines flat out untouchable.
She’s been like this for a while now. I’d rather have brig be able to play in other comps, than just have her be this thing to swap to, to just have an uncontestable support line. ESPECIALLY in a game like this in 5v5 where if the supports don’t die the raid boss tank will just be getting perma healed. It’s insufferable.

I was testing it with my friend earlier. I was going in with speed ring even if I thought it was a horrible idea. Most of the time that I got that hunch, I died or barely escaped and did not get an elim. It’s not just free value.
When used correctly, it is very strong. It can absolutely be a brutal combo. But you counter it just like you do any other time dva dives in. You just have a lot less time to react. It’s a fun combo with two heroes I really like. It offers a way to deal with long sight lines because dva can speed through them. You just need to be attentive and know that speed ring means dva is going to be in your face. Dva has to react to her Juno using speed ring too so there is also time for you to react to it being used.
I will have to spend more time on the receiving end of the combo to determine how fair it is, but I can tell you it’s not a guaranteed kill every time in every instance.

Doom will become meta then nerfed into the ground just for you

Doom ain’t being meta anytime soon.
He can’t even reach that title. He got to 2nd place and butchered to a worst state than what he originally started in 9 days lmao.
In high elo. I am watching dvas fly through a speed ring and then within 1 second someone is dead.
Her damage, paired with the survivability she has, paired with the ridiculous speed from speed ring is genuinely ridiculous.
I don’t think there’s ever been a hero that moves as fast as dva does through speed ring with boosters, in overwatch history as far as I remember. And it’s tied to a 725 hp tank character.
They can’t nerf or rework Brig because that would make Tracer even more broken than she already is. The real answer is to actually nerf Tracer, then rework Brig, but Blizzard will literally do anything to avoid nerfing Tracer.

I think they tried it before, and said that if they bring tracers damage down she could not do anything, because she is at the spot were anything they do will destroy her.
And that’s been the case since the very beginning when they introduced brig instead of fixing the initial problem she was put into the game to solve.

NOP. they will nerf dva. sombra nerf is on the future
It’s actually crazy how many problems in this game could be solved by just removing widow’s one shot and nerfing tracer

You forgot to include Sombra and Tracer.
A new hero came into the scene and enabled a new meta → nerf Brig, the hero who was there all along lol.
Your bias against Brig is showing.

Dva would’ve been meta regardless, and no it’s actually brig enabling it because brig is what makes juno unkillable. With any other support juno is much easier to handle.
Plus brig making her support partner unkillable isn’t exclusive to this meta. It’s her base design and it’s boring as hell.
mace to the mace to the mace to the face
