Well yes, but no.
Stale metas are how we got here.
Sojourn, Tracer, Kiriko, insert tank that was king/queen for a season.
Which is also the problem with 5v5. There’s only so many variations of 5 that can be on top in role lock.
That’s also why I ain’t a fan of 6v6 role lock.
And look further that the problem of the competitive nature of this game.
You can be the greatest at Hog but you not doing anything against your counter even with team work it’s an uphill battle.
Kinda the biggest point of that was launch Life Weaver where even bronze to GM jabronis struggled.
But that’s just an example to show you a symptom of the ow patch change after patch change.
As well as one of the reasons this game struggles to grow. If your Junkrat fans can’t do anything no matter how many hours they sink practicing against hitscan they may leave.
These types of players are definitely leaving competitive.
And in saying Junkrat. I’m saying many of the fans of non meta hard countered heroes and the tank role ain’t gonna return to such a bad experience.
Numbers speak for themselves. Top 500 ain’t like ow 1 top 500.
Real talk ow 1 competitive was in the decline back then too.
Nothing wrong with being optimistic. But if you subtract being realistic it is just wishful thinking. Whether you want the game to thrive or die, everyone should have a grounded look at things
I don’t talk to anyone that commented on Styalosa’s or other streamers videos. I have no meetings with these forum members.
A great many of them don’t like this patch.
It’s a red flag that things aren’t good. Customer satisfaction is lacking which doesn’t help your game
