It isn’t about “we”, it is about Blizzard. This is why you don’t understand, it is also why you cannot extrapolate the pertinent information from the balance changes Blizzard decides to make.
Let me give you a hint;
It isn’t power creep, if Blizzard wants it to be this way.
My point is, Blizzard wants to be that way, but they are too weak minded to just come out and say it. Not owning it is what makes everyone complain thinking that it can be solved.
As far as the META, you have no idea what makes a META or how they come to be in place.
You didn’t call out specific heroes, you claimed skill versus no skill, that’s tribal.
Depends on what you qualify as “major”. Hanzo had counters before his rework, and now he doesn’t, not sure where you are going with that.
I don’t see this this on a macro level. I also do not believe there is statistical evidence to prove this claim. Not because it isn’t true, but because Blizzard doesn’t allow the players enough statistical data one way or another.
DPS players are the bulk of the community. It stands to reason they would have more intelligent, and less intelligent players within the role itself. When I am reading the forums I tend to see vastly more of the unintelligent section of that specific category. This may not be everyone’s experience.
I want all heroes to be good at whatever job Blizzard designed them for. I play tank and supports the most, but that is out of the want to play for my team, and not for myself.
You have met one now. I want to win, doesn’t matter to me how or who was the most important as long as my team gets the “W”.
Less sweeping change to the DPS roster will have fewer complaints from the role getting changed the least. That is pure logic. If it were otherwise then something would be very wrong.
You should actually reply to someone that argues about Game Balance instead of me, because my post is 100% unrelated to that. So, no. I am not going to argue on that or sustain any reply to my comment that is unrelated. Shocker! I know
Tribalism exists and it is 100% unrelated to game balance.
But sure, throw your veiled insult and walk out. That works too I guess
oooooh really? And what happened with mass rez again? A prolonged campaign mostly of dps mains who listened to popular streamers like sheep and got her reworked. Yeah, that had nothing to do with tribalism.
This is also true. In fact it came back double during GOATs when you witchhunted every single member of that comp including D.Va for her matrix.
