Calling Overwatch Classic GOATS Meta is kinda a weird move, I played at least 20 games and no one played GOATS in any of them, like, this isn’t the 2018 Overwatch League.
If you’re gonna base Overwatch Classic to a Meta called ‘GO All Tanks and Supports’, why not lock out DPS and set Tank and Support to 3-3? Otherwise, might just be called Overwatch Classic [Date, Month, 2018] Patch.

It highlights a truth that some of us have stated previously - that in actual fact GOATS was rarely played by the vast majority of players even during its peak power!
Which starkly contrasts with the narrative that “We need[ed] RQ 2-2-2 in order to prevent GOATS“!
Truth is - most players simply don’t follow or care about what’s meta!

AND the fact the GOATS didn’t ruin anything and that Brigitte 1.0 isn’t as scary or oppressive or the world destroyer as people said she was.

I certainly did not remember it being this painful to play the game. And yet painful it is. I miss actual goats, get these dps (aka Doom) out of my games already.
It’s so dumb that the literal goats mode is not locked to 3-3

I had a game where 2 people instalocked dps and then complained the team is bad because the rest of us couldn’t do anything against rein/orisa while dps being on widow and ashe.
Gonna drop a nuke here. Back in the goats meta days nobody played goats in qp as well, probably not even on ladder. It was an OWL meta and for 99% of play was just that.
In quick play I probably seen it ONE time in my entire life, and even then it was not mirrored, just one team went goatse.
