I’m having trouble countering dive compositions in the current meta, how would you propose to counter dive? I’m having problems playing against the Winston + Wrecking ball combo specifically.
Reaper would be good to have against those tanks. You probably also want a Brigitte to counter most of the dive dps especially if they have a tracer. Your weakness would be speed so maybe pick a Lucio and Moira and run triple support. For tanks probably Rein/Zarya is good. If they have a widow or double sniper maybe switch to goats (same comp but switch reaper for a dva) and it will be hard for them to kill you with all that hp and armor and healing so they might have to switch off Winston. jk idk I’m plat btw.
Brigitte is usually the go-to solution for an aggressive dive. Play with your backline and keep dive tanks off of your other supports. Of course, you’re not really going to find a whole lot of dive outside of top 500 and scrims. Well, you’ll find “dive,” but let’s be real. There’s no way you can consider a bunch of randos in comp attempting to coordinate an actual dive.
I’ve been seeing a lot of Brig+Zen+Mercy/Ana+McCree/Hanzo+2 tanks work well against it. When someone dives in, Brig stuns them, Zen discords them, and everyone else pumps damage into them. They die pretty much instantly. And if you’re running Ana instead of Mercy, she can nade them to ensure they will die.
This works especially well against Winston+Hammond where there’s no chance of any abilities being eaten. Against Winston+DVa you have to be wary of her matrix, but there should be enough abilities there to take them both down as long as people are paying attention.
And of course, there’s always the option of running a mirror comp.
The answer is the same answer to any problem in Overwatch.
And that answer is Hanzo.
Maybe a Hanzo instead of reaper? To bust down Winston shields?
Baguette, Moira, Orisa, Hog, Hanzo + 1.
Hanzo’s kit is anti-Winston. He can lunge away from Winston’s range and storm arrow him down. Baguette was put in to help supports from getting dived on. She should be the team’s personal bodyguard. Moira can bait out dive jumps and heal a group faster than a Winston can dps. Orisa and Hog do a ton of damage to the dive tanks for free.
