Latest Overwatch Change May Spell the End of GOATS
The end of the triple-tank, triple support meta a.k.a GOATS may be around the corner if these new hero changes slated for the PTR goes live.
Detailed earlier today by Geoff Goodman, a member of the Overwatch developer team, the upcoming PTR changes buffs up several DPS heroes while nerfing several support and tanks which in turn, results in higher burst damage, slushier barriers and of course, shorter sustain. As posted on the Blizzard forums, the post, alongside our immediate thoughts in bold, red text read:
“We’re looking at updating the PTR soon with the following additional hero changes:
Team KKP: It’s the return of the Junk meta! Also, expect the Houston Outlaws to reactivate their Junkrat specialist, Jake.Â
This change significantly increases Junkrat’s damage output allowing him to effectively seal-off choke points, and shred down shields.Â
Team KKP: Lucio’s getting hit hard here. This will reduce his effectiveness and picks on king-of-the-hill maps.Â
Team KKP: He was fine as it is. Why change this? Geez.
Team KKP: We feel this reduction is fair. Stops Reaper from being too dominant considering how barriers and tanks are more vulnerable with this PTR update
Team KKP: A situational hero at best and this increase rewards good aim. We have no issues with this.Â
Team KKP: Following the Junkrat buff (listed above) – this is an insignificant change. It does hit Zarya’s dominance a bit, but negligible.Â
Team KKP: Miniscule change but a nett nerf for Zen here.Â
Geoff ended the post with “I’m not sure exactly when these changes will hit PTR, but we’re hoping tomorrow or Friday.”
Better late than ever, right?
These changes, if implemented, should come into effect once Overwatch’s 30th hero, Baptiste goes live. Not content with him possibly being the answer to the dreaded 3-3/ GOATS meta, Blizzard’s move to suggest the changes above is a step in the right direction to ensure the game is not only fun to play, but also to watch.
We can’t wait what new meta comes out from all of this but our hope is to see the return of DPS heroes to the fold.
