Flats take on why rien buff is bad and why no buff to rien will dethrone the current meta

any non-tank hero that can peel would cause that “problem”/effect. effectively removing those heroes (and never allowing for such capability in heroes) isn’t the right solution to that problem and neither is forcing a meta.

I have been telling this for months but he considers peel to be an off tank only duty which is kind of absurd on its own right.

@Zephrin-11143

forgive me for referring to paladins but they don’t really have this problem nor the “heal spam” problem people acclaimed OW had with goats because of their item system accessible to everyone (for free btw) to let people build to have shield break and/or anti-heal to punish overinvestment of shield or heal spam.

In OW it could be switching heroes, the issue is that the heroes that counter Brig and Sigma are basically throw picks in the ranks where those two are an ‘‘issue’’ (aka counter the stale dps meta of GM+).

The entire DPS roster is broken OP or UP and its cycle of counterpicking is incomplete and deficient, with Widow and Tracer running rampart in upper ranks, forcing supports and tanks to try to fix it and then get sledgehammered for it.
