I agree with this but I don’t think barriers are the solution either. I think we can find a way to make: Brig, doom, winston, rein, genji and all other none typical fps chars viable without having a barrier meta.
We had dive and rein zarya meta without hitscan dominating the whole field. It was a place where everyone just kinda did their own thing (before brig was added).
I think we can find this direction again if we just nerf ashe and widow a bit more. Their chars are very clearly not something that should have such high impact in damage just due to aim.
