Here ' s how it ' s really looked at from Blizzards perspective . It ' s not really about who gets stronger than who . There are already hardcounters to heros . When nerfsbuffs are made it ' s more about how many heroes are affected by it . Because ultimately each change will have effects . It ' s only when you add changes where more than 3 heros become obsolete in a meta . For instance right now Genji is completely useless against a 132 comp . He does very little poke damage to the tanks , and his ult is a high risklow reward you ' ll never get more than 2 tanks ATMOST if you just solo them from the start and they ' re already weak . Mcree is now outdone by soldier . Reaper is useless against the tanks because of Dva x Roadhog . Tracer is good for stalling point , but roadhog is hard counter . Sombra is still new , so we might see more of her . Pharah is hardcountered by soldier . The whole defense category is below 10 % pickrate on tournaments and rightfully so . Although I feel like Mei can still counter these tanks . We don ' t see her all that much either particularly because of soldierroadhog . The last meta with reaper beyblade had counters and still opened up to alot more heros which were very viable . This time around 95 % were S o l d i e r R e inhardtRoadhogDvaLucioAna . I really feel they put soldier and dva too far with the buffs that makes all the other heros obsolete .
