What’s the meta look like exactly for dps, supports, tank lineups? I want to get back into competitive more (Anymore I just do placements and am usually finished) and I am pretty out of the loop. I understand counterpicks well and that you might not always want to “stick on these 6 heroes,” but I would feel a bit more prepared with an idea of the meta climate at the moment.
If you have any general advice to leave, it would also be much appreciated.
(If it’s important, I float around mid plat all the way to low diamond.)
Everything. The game has been in a good state for the past month due a certain character cough cough being tuned down. But the main lineup is Winston D.va, Reaper Sombra, and Moira Lucio. Torb, Echo, Mcree, Tracer, Ashe, and Widow are still really good, top of the DPS list right now. All the tanks are viable, I just listed the best ones. All the supports are viable too, but for Bap and Zen, they’re more situational. Hope this helps!
What the heck? Are you seriously implying Brig is better off than ZEN right now? I don’t even.
As for the OP, it really depends on your rank, but generally the tanks are better balanced than ever (Zarya’s probably a touch too good but whatever) except Sigma and Orisa are meh, for DPS in the higher ranks you probably want to avoid Mei, McCree, Sym, Bastion, Pharah, for supports all but Moira, Brig and Bap are good with Mercy being a little less good but still useable, Brig is situational, Moira is like okayish, Bap is just bad.

On experimental or live?
Not sure about experimental yet.
In a coordinated team it is Monkey+Dva, Reaper/Tracer + Sombra/Doom, Lucio+Moira or Brig+Zen
Tbh, brig is also situational, but she is deffinitly same or better than Bap, and Zen is just Zen, really really bad in Higher ranks rn, but in lower ranks he can be played at times. Brig is also a good lower elo catered hero now.
Zen is good in high ranks, dude. Brig is situational, and Zen is just better than Brig more often. He outclasses her in pickrate and winrate. Doomfist and Genji aren’t common problems so that helps him a lot.

Depends on that ELO you are talking about.
Moira is S tier right now, she is being played in almost every single comp lol, especially since the meta is revolved around Rush, Moira lucio is the play.
If you’re not in masters and up. Just play your best hero. While metas do effect hero picks, players do not rank or de rank due the meta. Just play the hero you enjoy and play it well.

Genji + Sym
Super secret top 500 META (scrims only…to keep it a secret).
Even more super secret top 100 meta: Orisa Sig Bastion Mei Bap Brig
Genji + Sym counters that…you just TP the Nano Blading Genji right into the bunker and win.
