You do realize that Team Fortress, Counter-Strike and DOTA were full-fledged games/mods before Valve got involved, right? They weren’t ‘prototypes’, there’s a reason that the Valve-developed games are all sequels to all these mods and it’s because they were not ‘prototypes’

The meta favors the tanks because they are better DPSers than the DPS heroes. D. Va wins any 1-1 vs 76, McCree, Reaper, etc so there’s no real reason to use them.

The issue is that tanks shouldn’t act as counters to DPSers by damage output, because at that point the tank is a DPSer with a much higher health pool, which is what D. Va has become.

Back when her armor wasn’t a whopping 400, Reaper could serve as a counter, because his headshot damage would eventually go through her health and his maneuverability made it so D. Va couldn’t escape.

Because the whole point of having characters in different classes is that there ‘should’ be consistent results.

As a guy who mostly switches between healers and tanks, I can understand the frustration of the stranger, as nothing is more frustrating than seeing a DPSer staying the same while the team itself struggles, only for them to whine ‘Need healing’ or ‘Pick a tank’.

Blizzard have already mentioned D. Va doesn’t really have counters. Her damage output is far greater than Soldier 76's Biotic Field healing rate and her high armor allows her to absorb so much damage that he loses, even if all his shots are headshots because her high health pool and damage output win out. And let’s…

My point is Valve never ‘developed’ those games, they bought the designers/dev teams and had them develop sequels. I’m sure Valve supplied them with plenty of resources, such as playtesters and whatnot, but they never went through the stage of actually designing/developing the game from the ground up. They instead had…

Oh that’s funny. MICHAEL!

You mean, develop sequels off of the work of someone else? It’s much easier to iterate than it is to develop something on your own, which is Valve currently is. Heck, most of the work they iterate off of were mods, which were people iterating off of someone else’s work.

If you gang up on anyone, they aren’t as powerful, but the fact of the matter is D. Va’s high armor and maneuverability allowed her to win any 1-1 with any DPSer, which is why the current meta has 4 tanks and almost zero DPSers because the DPSers are losing to D. Va.

Is that Overwatch but everyone is in their underwear?

Yeah, Winston needs a boost of some kind, either his gun does more damage, has more ammo or they give him more shields so that his survivability is increased.

I mean, if we want to get technical, Valve hasn’t developed a game of their own since Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

What is going on? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Yeah, the current meta killing Genji has also effectively killed Winston as well.

I’VE GOT YOU IN MY SIGHTS!

The issue was D. Va essentially could outlast any DPSer, even the likes of Reaper and Soldier 76 who are supposed to serve as counters to her, as her high armor made her take such reduced damage even from headshots while she could headshot cheese any DPSer and make quick work of their low health pool.

FALSE! Black bear

Yes, why don’t we also add asterisk to all those who played before 1947 because the league wasn’t integrated?
