✅ Most minimal way to block GOATs

I mean if you nerfed ult stack it would kill practically everything cos most ultimates work in combos.

Agreed. So it’s far better to prevent defensive offhealer Ult stacking.

Which is the specific problem.

with the buff to mcree, buff junks nade size. He’ll start doing better overall, especially against goats.
Imo the thing that really allowed goats in the first place was the junk nerfs, the pharah splash nerf, and the mercy nerfs

I think that’s overly optimistic.
The whole point of GOATs is to have overwhelming shielding, overwhelming peel, and weapons that don’t care about defence matrix or shields.

Like breaking a lock open because the key is stuck?

More like, Junkrat doesn’t have the raw DPS needed to cut through two bubble, a Rein shield, and a defense matrix, before the enemy team is ontop of your team.

I was saying buff junks nade size since we’ve already seen lots of pharmercy being good against goats in OWL, but if junk could land more shots with his new consistency the DPS duo of junk pharah could be viable as a goats counter

I say just nerfing the GOATS comp is a better solution.

We already got the supports, and Dva, the only one left to look at is Zarya. Changing her damage output or charge value would be the few ways.

The thought of seeing Jake pop off on Junk again makes me happy

The rule is too arbitrary and doesn’t do anything to prevent simmilar issues of role stacking in the future and going down this path would just lead to more 1-off rules.

It’s not arbitrary, it’s highly specific.
And more one-off rules at the fringes of unusual team compositions, might be better than destroying all team composition variety in the game.

I also think it’s a bit bizarre to say that changes to the game need to fix things forever.

When that’s very near impossible.

No, but one off rules are not the way to go. 222 makes sense both now and in the future regardless of how the meta shifts, an arbitrary rule that certain supports are not allowed to be played in certain combinations may not make sense in a few seasons.

It’s simple. Sure. If it’s best is highly arguable.

If you got a spider in your car, it’s very simple to set the car on fire. And you will never have a problem with spiders in your car ever again.

Mmmmh, nah. I dont think so.
How about this: You could slow down with this ‘‘spammy threads’’ about how goats should be deleted/not used anymore (even in disable it in owl too) almost every day/week?

Its just 1 meta. Just like dive, bunker/clockwork, sniper, etc metas are.

Ironic that coming up with different implementations of original concepts would be considered spammy.

But “Gimme 2-2-2 now” isn’t spammy?

When a Zen and Lucio ult at the same time (the only solid defensive ults in the game), one gets value, the other doesn’t.

What exactly is Zen’s trans healing when everyone is over shielded by 750?

But did they run it in a 3Tank-3Heal?

Yep.

Rein-Zarya-D.Va-Ana-Lucio-Baptiste

It was Lijiang Tower

Cool, but I kinda doubt it would be as oppressive at the Pro tier :slight_smile:

Cause it seems like Dev’s have been avoiding outright killing 3-3 for a while now.

I said most ultimates, not all.

Its like using tac visor after dva bomb
