In some areas of Overwatch, there is currently a tank and support-heavy meta, known as the GOATS meta. Many players blame the hero Brigitte for this. Former professional player and streamer Seagull claims that it’s only because of Tracer.
This is the situation: Many players complain that Overwatch is currently boring. The meta is too undemanding and requires only a few heroes who are part of the current “GOATS meta”.
Most players blame Brigitte for this situation.
What has happened? Former professional player for the Overwatch League team Dallas Fuel and now streamer Brandon “Seagull” Larned sees Tracer as the cause of the current problems.
Tracer is the reason for the status quo with the GOATS meta, not Brigitte.
That’s why Tracer is to blame for GOATS
This is what Seagull says: According to Seagull, Tracer is the reason for all the problems Overwatch currently has. He specifically talks about the current meta. Tracer has always been too strong.
As the face of Overwatch, she has a special position among the heroes. She has never been nerfed and therefore has always had a place in the meta. In the dive meta, which Overwatch had for the longest time, she was even one of the core roles.
To solve these problems without nerfing Tracer, Blizzard had to create a “monster of a hero” that “somehow has to be stronger than Tracer to counter her.” That’s how they arrived at the point where they are now.
Brigitte is not only there to counter the dive meta, but also specifically to counter Tracer. And with the introduction of Brigitte, the GOATS meta became possible.
Seagull contradicts the prevailing sentiment in the community that Brigitte is the reason for the current issues in the meta.
What do you think of Seagull’s statement?
Some of the former members of GOATS have also joined the new Contenders team Second Wind. They recently had major issues with a fake player:
