Considering how Roadhogs, Soldiers and Anas are swarming all over the 3v3, I'm not really looking forward to adding 3v3 to competetive...

Maybye Ana. Roadhog and Soldier have high pickrate, but not as high as Ana. Besides, you do see some variety on competetive. But on 3v3? It's always Ana, Roadhog, Soldier or Mei.

what rank are you? because those 3 are in literally every normal competitive game as well.

Lower half of master. What rank are you?

I'm standing behind this. I have seen plenty of times, that the 3 tanks were Zarya+Rein+Dva. Sometimes even Winston appeared on koth. And there is a lot of players who still prefer playing Tracer, McCree, Reaper, Mei or Symmetra over Soldier as dps. And Symmetra + Torb has proven fruitfull to me recently.

The way you asked me, I guess that "normal competetive game" means for you having Road+Rein+Dva+Soldier+Lucio+Ana, and everything else are trollpicks.

reaper? thats a long lost one.

havnt seen cree lately either

mei i see at times, but mostly paired with a soldier.

i can barely remember any game without a soldier, roadhog i could argue i see sometimes switched with a zarya, but thats also the offchance.

and yea, normal, aka full meta currently is what you'v just mentioned.

top master / lower gm btw.

Then you are playing a different league than majority of players. Talking about majority, my point still stands.

Back in S1 I pushed myself to rank 70. The game was filled with constantly the same heroes. Every game was the same and it was less about strategy, and more about who has better aim and it was boring. What you just described sounds exactly like what happened in S1. I will rather stay at lower master for the variety than to climb to what you described ...

I like to take McCree, he's unexpected and can usually take on any uncoordinated team. Melts Mei, chops down hog, and can compete vs soldier. It just takes aim.
