Honestly GOATS was not really the problem. The problem was how long it took for them to patch that meta. Originally it was legit fun, I personally know Rein players were having a field day. But then it got dull having to play the same characters over and over again, because the only way to counter GOATS was to play GOATS. There was actually a somewhat functioning anti-GOATS comp developed just before 2-2-2, but it didnt exist for long. I believe it was 1-4-1? I can't remember what was in it, though. I only played it a few times.

yeah, it was quad dps, developed by a chinese team. it was ball, mercy, sombra, and the other 3 dps were pretty flexible, usually a widow, sometimes a hanzo as well, a doomfist, and a soldier were the most common. it was just about being able to focus damage in fast enough to get the picks to get a good opening.

As someone to played in Masters when Brig was released, she was oppressive before even GOATS. If I remember correctly, she had a 60% WR across all ranks all the way to GM. Her ability to, as a support, shut down most flankers and be able to hold up against most DPS made DPS' just worse than her in most comps. She was more of a bruiser or drain character than a support, who could heal everyone around her and instantly disengage any enemy with her stun + flail hit.

Just a note, GOATs wasn't the first team to find out the triple support, triple tank meta but they popularized it. Also, you'll notice a pretty common theme here of broken supports enabling these metas. GOATs would not be possible without key supports, beyblade was only strong because of Ana and beyblade itself wasn't the problem as Ana was the real problem. The mercy one is obvious. Supports are the pillars of any team, you can't swap them out in the puzzle of your team as easily as tanks and DPS.

yeah dive was indeed broken and the reason for brig, but for the sake of the video i really focused on the most absurd metas that also happened to be broken. might make a pt 2 listing every single meta in chronological order and if i do itll def be in there with all the other comps as well

Mass res wasn’t even that good. Moth meta was disgusting. Triple dps dive was happiness and genuinely not mentioned. Goats was only hated because it was meta for 9 straight months, double shield killed the game. Also ow 2 just hasnt had any broken meta’s? Or are they just all as forgettable as 5v5 makes this game ass.

I think the worse metas are the ones that force you to plain certain heroes, putting GOATS at the top and Mauga at close second.
