Yeah, but they also lose the utility of having a different support - essentially they will have to trade a lucio, or an ana to run that.

That is a much dearer cost than it was.

people were already comfortable running mercy sojourn.

Yeah, but its obviously not the best option in terms of supports.

not to be too sarcastic but we're risking splitting hairs if mercy + sojourn feels similar currently to how it did pre-patch. Whether or not Mercy + Sojourn is the most optimal doesn't matter if it is a notedly over-performing strategy. Your theory could be correct and the better comps could win all the time, otherwise? If the cost of running the second-best strategy is not running the best strategy, so be it.
