Not really. Heās always had a higher pickrate in low tiers. Orisa sucks, and Winston isnāt good in low to mid tiers. So, Reinhardt is basically guaranteed a slot outside of the handful of maps where Orisa is decent. Itās the same phenomenon, just with viability of his competition factored in.
Stop being pedantic. Dive originally featured Lucio and Zarya, but people understood Dive a year later to mean Mercy and DVa. Metas evolve. GOATS is the same way. Weāre aware it originally used Moira. It does not anymore. It still uses a 3-3 with 5/6 of the same heroes revolving more-or-less around the same strategy. By popular definition, GOATS is 3-3 deathball featuring Lucio, Reinhardt, Brigitte, Zarya, DVa, and a flex support spot thatās shifted from Moira to Ana to Zenyatta.
