Tired With Dive Meta, Overwatch Streamers are Moving on to Different Games

When Dive Comp first broke on the scene of competitive Overwatch, it was a refreshing, quick change of pace to counter the triple tank meta. More supports were considered meta, and formerly off-meta tanks Winston and D.Va saw their viability increase drastically. That was months ago, however, and without any significant changes to the way the game is played, players are bored of it. No one more, apparently, than Overwatch streamers, who are leaving the game in droves.

Blizzard has always been s**t at balancing their games. I love their games, but that's the truth.

Chexs1990 is a cunt! I like him, but thats the truth.

Blizzard has always been good at balancing their games. U see not perfect balance as shit balance. And u know what? perfect balance is not achievable with the amount of variables in a game.

They are prob the one company that spends the most resources on balance and they are doin a good job at it.
Dont just repeat what other people say on the internet Chexs1990 :) its rude

It's really uneducated people like you, which hurts this site, more so than helping it grow.
I have played most of Blizzard's games, they have a history of extreme nerfing and whacking balance between characters out of control.

Besides, the only rude one here is you princess. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings, but go grab a cookie :)

And maybe there's a reason to why Blizzard invest so much time in trying to balance things out, directly related to my first comment.

because when new items/bosses release some abilities (other) items become overpowered so there is nerfing. Same goes for new raid tier release, and to change up the meta they buff/nerf.

You talk like balance should be perfect in a game like wow/SC2. It's not possible, 2 many numbers, too many different encounters. Lets take wow, 11 classes now? x 20+ spells x buffs gained x debuffs on enemies x gear, go balance that urself :)

Blizzards balance is far from perfect, but its (one of ) the best in the industry.

People are so fun pathetic. Tired of dive meta, then just play a player that compliments and isn't strictly dive build. You people create the metas, stop feeling like you must play as a certain character

You mean do something different? :O
How dare you sir! Lol

It's the same thing in fighting games;

"Oh X and Y won Evo with these characters. You have to play these to actually get anywhere." Followed by the countless copycats until next year.

What the majority don't see, it's the ones who think outside the box is the ones who win (or make top tier), not the ones who live on wiki and YouTube videos.
