Dont you all play to have FUN in a game?
Playing YOUR favorite character(s) in a game??
Why force youself playing a Meta character and THEN go complain that the games are unfun because you lose?
ideally every hero is equally strong/balanced so therefore it should not matter which hero is ‘meta’.
Forget about the pro’s and stupid OWL players. They should not dicate META and then you go play what th ey play because you see them win…
Its not all about winning. Its about FUN.
If you find winning soooo important, stick to these so called ‘meta’ heroes all you like, but don’t ask DEVs for nerfs or buffs.
The meta matters if you play almost perfect and with others who play almost perfect. If you don’t play perfect, worry about switching if you’re getting farmed.
Well you’re about to get a rude awakening because they are not equally strong or balanced.
Same few heroes in the gutter since launch, metas go on from 6 months to a year. Trying to have fun is hard when your main hero was decent for 2~3 weeks then got thrown right back into the garbage can she barely crawled out of.
maybe in low rank. in high rank u cant even play the game. picking a meta hero lets you at least play the game.
im not asking for buffs nerfs, just bans since it will fix everything anyway. cuz if u look at it, meta basically bans everyone but 6 heros. so idk why people complain when for instance a tank player only has 3 viable options (2 due to other tank player).
what are we arguing about here, I lost track? META is real, META changes, META is the path of least resistance in a game and that’s all based on synergy of ROLES due to their capabilities. If Soldier 76 was given 100DMG per bullet he would be META. If TORB was able to deploy 2 turrets that did 50DMG per bullet with 600HP per turret, he would be META.
It matters because the other team will be full of sweats running hard meta and your only chance to not get repeatedly steamrolled (an unfun experience) is to run mirror meta or some offshoot of the meta meant for defense/offense (whichever side you’re on respectively). Or you will queue in with some people who want to win above all else and they will harass/berate you until you fall in line and go something meta. Games where neither the opposite team is running hard meta or my teammates are yelling at me to go meta are games I enjoy a lot.
Because above 3.5k people sweat in this game like they about to win some money or something.
“META META. Play orisa play sigma , go hanzo,play mei blah blah” “ He’s playing zen , what a thrower , go baptiste”
I always played what I liked and ignored the meta. Meant lower sr for me but who gives a crap about that useless number . Playing in anything higher than 3.5 k = miserable matches (prepare for multi kill widows , doomfists ,tons of spamzos and origma ). Very few heroes are good and as I said people sweat way too much.
I don’t give a rats behind what is meta and what is not. I play whichever hero I think is fun, and I’ll be damned if people try to force me into playing something I don’t enjoy.
The further up the ranks you go, the worse it is. I was suddenly a thrower when I didn’t want to play Hanzo or Mei. Screw that, let me derank into plat or diamond where I can atleast have fun in the game still.
Doesn’t matter what you play, you’re not gonna have fun fighting Doom and Hanzo literally 38 times straight. You flat out cannot have fun if others play meta, since meta heroes are often basically gamebreaking.
no fun allowed is basically blizzards new motto. they got convinced that all the dps did nothing but threw and all the tanks and healers are oppressed individuals.
