Instead of gutting heroes and making healing stacking with 2 healers worse we could still just force 2-2-2 and nobody would shed a tear.
Itâs not irrelevant at all. If those 3 Tanks didnât have the synergy that they do, then you wouldnât see GOATS because it wouldnât be worth playing 3 Tanks, whether itâs with 1, 2 or 3 Support.
Yet the comp didnât exist before Brig did.
If Lucio didnât exist, deathball would not have been a thing to begin with. Have you ever put the slightest bit of thought into why Brigitte is necessary to the comp?
Mercy cannot exist in GOATS. Having to stay in the brawl like that without being able to contribute in damage at all while the othr team runs a mirror goats would destroy her. Mercy is only meta when DPS are meta because she enables them so well. Mercy cannot exist in a deathball setup where everyone is grouped up and she cannot use her mobility to escape on top of not being able to dps and heal at the same time.
Rein, Zarya and D.va arenât even the stables of GOATS, it was originally but it has evolved to where you can replace all of them or some of them depending on whatâs required.
3 tanks 1 dps 2 healers is not OP. just dive them.
4 tanks and 2 healers is not OP. just dive them.
2 tanks, 1 dps, 3 healers is OP. as long as one of those healers is brigitte.
3-3 is definitely OP. as long as one of the healers is brigitte.
hell, 1 tank, 2 dps, 3 healers is probably OP as long as there is a brigitte. I havent seen it but I bet
get it?
brig is OP.
Because in theory it is just that. The ability to sustain AoE healing is one of the main problems of GOATS when it comes to DPS heroes, every bit of damage done can be erased with little effort.
Brig is NOT a secondary support, sheâs just there for the AoE + burst healing. And what class of heroes benefits the most from sustained healing + burst if needed? Tanks. Then you have DM to erase incoming damage, Grav + Bomb for either team wipes or specific picks and if all else fails, thereâs Shatter.
Other metas that used to rely on Speed Boost with 3+ tanks had problems with sustained healing, Brig covers that.
Add diminishing returns to AoE healing and GOATS pickrate is likely to go down.
It used to be quadruple tank and was way worse when ana was overpowered.
Hello? Am I not being clear enough?
GOATs isnât deathball. Deathball is 2-2-2. GOATs is 3-3 (or arguably 3 tanks and some other people).
You literally said Lucio is necessary to GOATs.
Quad tank which was niche because it was way more exploitable. Unlike GOATS which became the dominant meta.
I feel like people tend to forget those 4 culprits exist when it comes to GOATS but oh, D.va and Brigitte are apparently at fault.
Anaâs current burst healing is what keeps tanks alive and sustainable, add that with Lucioâs AoE healing and that how his speedboost can cover tanks weaknesses of being slow. Rein and Zarya have good synergy that Zarya can replace a DPS since she can charge her beam much faster now.
Yes it did, it was called deathball.
If Tracer wasnt a protected character, GOATS wouldnt exist.
Yeah, why donât you just nerf more supports and tanks and then afterwards donât forget to complain, that no one picks them anymore. Just play death match if you just want dps to mindlessly kill.

Exactly, its not just Brigitte, its the tanks as well as the supports
and then they made dive viable and fixed it.
and the same applies to lucio.
try playing Rein-zarya-DVA-Reaper-moira-lucio
and watch a dive team tear you to shreds.
GOATS is a deathball comp⌠Deathball is defined by Rein, Zarya and Lucio which is a comp and strategy that revolves around a team moving around together and fighting together. The addition of Brigitte just made it stronger and made damage heroes unecessary.
Yes he is, and so is Brigitte because without Brigitte GOATs wouldnât have existed.
Lmfao too true.
Also nerfing everyone until GOATS is gone for good wont help anything. Some new meta will take over and everyone will complain again.
