Will the meta ever shift from variations of Dive?

Title. Mercywatch, while diverse, was mainly dive. In stuff like PIT and BEAT, people do run triple tank but it gets shutdown by dive mostly. Dive has been meta for almost a year now, so my question is do you think the meta will ever shift from it? How would that happen?

Yes. Literally right now it’s going to be quad tank

Don't be silly man,with Zen going to be hands-down strongest support in the next patch u can't expect dive to disappear.Quad tanks heavily relies on playing on small spaces with moria and lucio Aoes healings to top the tanks,something you just can't do on wide open maps.

any map that has good highground and or open spaces will use dive on offense/koth... mobility is one of the most important aspects of overwatch

Watching FU play Ana/Zen dive with WhoRU chasing the discord orbs and getting nanoed because he and Elk can build up their ults almost every single fight is kind of nuts.
This makes me think LAV might actually be one the scariest teams if they are able to run Ana/Zen effectively, because holy shit.

I don't think dive will ever fully go away. I think triple and quad tank will have it's place on certain maps but I for sure believe that overall the strongest comp will always be dive when executed by the best.

I think that instead of a big meta shift, we'll start to see more map/situationally dependent variations upon the meta. It'll be interesting to watch how the OWL meta evolves too now that new maps are being added into the map pool (KINGS ROW BAYBHEEEEE) and are played under intense scrutiny something like 20 times a week.

One of my favorite part about the first series of OWL was actually picking up new map dependent strategies from watching teams run them over and over again. Especially Anubis, where you get to see so many transitions between low ground/high ground.
