" šŸ isn't ran in the lower ranks."

Not really. Heā€™s always had a higher pickrate in low tiers. Orisa sucks, and Winston isnā€™t good in low to mid tiers. So, Reinhardt is basically guaranteed a slot outside of the handful of maps where Orisa is decent. Itā€™s 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. Weā€™re 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 thatā€™s shifted from Moira to Ana to Zenyatta.
