This is a genuine question because honestly, everyday is a new complaint, and since the devs love listening to forum feedback, I wonder if there’ll be a day when they can fulfill everyone’s wishes.
You can’t just say “I want all heroes to be meta” because that’s impossible.
I want no heroes to be meta, because actiblizz clearly doesn’t know how to properly nerf characters when needed to rebalance them. All characters should be on equal ground, and yes, there may be hard counters, but even those can be balanced in a way to make all characters playable/usable. Hard metas ruin the game, as shown with the last several updates…
not applicable either, an impossible wish.
I wAnT pHaRaH mEtA, fOrCe EvErYoNe To HiTsCan, better?
Rama rein zarya hog sihma etc
This is better, yes.
I want a sym/junk meta, just to hear the snowflake hitscan players throw the biggest hissy fit in the world.
I want to see this happen yes, preferably last at least 1 season
The difficult ones with no CC. Tracer, Widowmaker, Ashe, Zen, Bap. For tanks CC is more acceptable, so maybe Orisa, Doom or Ball.
We did have junk/Sym meta before. Everyone was throwing a hissy fit, not just hitscan.
Soldier meta is like as neutral as you can get
I don’t want my heroes to be meta because there’s a non-zero chance that they’d get gameplay changing adjustments in order to bring them out of the meta in a month’s time.
If that’s also not an acceptable answer, then Widow. Massive burst hitscan damage from the other side of the map turns this game from Overwatch into Counter-Strike as far as I’m concerned, so I’d rather have her flood the leaderboards in the hopes that she gets further changes.
For Overwatch, ideally what they would have is 3 metas. Offense, Control, and Recovery. With each role having specialists in each of the 3. The three metas would counter each other in a rock paper scissors fashion, so even though one could go all in on one of those three metas, doing so would be very risky because the other team could run the counter meta. So… hopefully, most teams would end up having a blend of all 3 so we wouldn’t have a super hard and fast meta.
Admittedly, this is quite pie in the sky, but we could at least get closer to that. However, the devs seem to have zero interest in even trying to pull this off.
I remember when he was meta before, not as neutral as you would think lol. When you’re meta, you no longer a mediocre jack of all trade, you’re a specialist.
none? i cant care less for bli$$ard to modify their notepad to constantly re-introduce same nerfs and buffs to heroes, based on their meme pass introduction of new hero thats paywalled for first few weeks for those who dont decide to buy their meme pass
Id rather have a Pharahmercy meta over the hitscan metas we’ve been having.
I also one trick Junkrat.
all of them, meta ruins games and makes the game stale if you see the same heroes every match cause those are a must to have the greatest odds of winning
Someone without a one shot kill or a damage boost effect.
I want a baptiste meta! #unbias.
Why’d you get upset? You could have just acknowledged that what you want is impossible. That doesn’t mean you can’t wish for it.
Now, to answer OP, I think Overwatch’s metas are mostly perfect. Different characters and strats are used depending on your rank, and I think most characters are represented enough to where I’m fine with the way the meta shakes out. For example, you can still run Reaper and such in low ranks, but as you get better at the game, you’ll have to start using heroes that reflect skill more. Like Widow or something.
I can live with that, honestly. I don’t understand the argument of “This character is overperforming in one rank, so we have to nerf them and shake up the entire meta and stats of several characters!”. Seems weird.
