It makes sense, the damage dealers are too strong versus the squishy Offense and Defense lot, but the Tanks and healers can survive and they aren't much worse on the damage dealing side. Drop the offense, let them mingle with the unused Defense guys and put on more damage sponges.
If this actually sticks and some competing composition like overwhelming damage to reliably break apart the line of tanks doesn't come out, then it would need a sweeping change to break this meta. In general, condensing and lowering the damage:health:healing ratios. Healing is too strong and tank health is too high versus the average damage which is comparatively too high for the common 200 HP heroes.
Healers are throwing things all out of whack. It's all Lucio's fault. Ana's Nanoboost is also contributing a lot to this particular composition.

The answer is simple. Buff shotguns (Reaper's ofc).

It stems from the fear of making support even more unattractive to play if they get directed nerfs, even though they're probably the highest impact role currently in the game. Could you imagine the outcry if Mercy rez became line of sight, despite it actually being broken in certain areas like at the end of Gibraltar, where you can literally rez your entire team from below in your spawn?
I think one thing that could actually help is to tweak armour, because that shit gets really strong combined with damage resistance (and is why it was so useless before in the discord meta). Armnour works like this: incoming damage instances get halved, up to a maximum of 5 reduced damage (so any damage instance above 10 gets lowered by 5, so 120 becomes 115 etc)
So take a nano boosted Reinhardt (who has 200 armour). Reaper pellets normally do 7 dmg, so 3.5 to armour. Factor in 50% damage resistance and reaper suddenly does 1.75 dmg to reinhardt per pellet (dunno if it gets rounded up). And you cant really count headshots as reliable since youd probably not want to be up in the face of a boosted Rein
This means that to just burn through reinhardts armour, reaper needs to expel all his 8 rounds and even then, Rein still has 300 regular hp (and an Ana probably healing him). That's the traditional tank buster hero sucking at his job. There's no way to cut through that, it's stupid

I wouldn't mind Bastion if Bastion had a Masterkey attached to his gun arm or if his turret mode was dual Frag-12 AA-12s.

played some paladins. its surprisingly okay, and i might actually somewhat prefer it. much faster pace and roles feel more blended, which means the tanks and supports actually kill people. In fact the whole teamplay aspect isnt as forced
also bomb kings existence validates every other shit character design they have going on

The answer is simple. Buff shotguns (Reaper's ofc). By .004% and nerf fusion rifles

New character cinematic! WOO! I don't know who that buff pink-haired lady was at the end, but I think Blizzard can make her into an in-game character.

It's a beauty mark. It's fashionable, like Marilyn Monroe had one.

The nations cup recently wrapped up, here's game 1 of the finals (Bo7) if anyone missed it. Loooads of amazing plays. Spain, France, USA, and China made it to the top 8. Sweden and Finland made it to the top 4.

Counterpoint: Mei is one of the greatest characters in video game history.

Maybe because nobody has gotten down and moved it all around with Mei.
