Meta predictions

After the Ana "nerf", DVA getting gutted, and Roadhog's hook no longer ripping people through solid objects, what do you think the next professional meta will evolve into, if anything at all?

For me personally I'm so thankful that DVA is nerfed though I agree with many it was a bit overboard. I'm really hoping we at least get back into a 2/2/2 meta where Reaper/McCree/Tracer/Genji will see more match time.

Agree with SKYTRiXSHA. I doubt another healer will take up the slots that the tanks lose, so one of 3/1/2 or 2/2/2 will probably be the new meta. Can't wait for the period of instability while the new meta is starting to form, its always interesting to watch it evolve.

Any predictions if ana/Lucio will continue to be the support duo? Or will one of them be potentially swapped out for another healer on certain maps (say mercy on hanamura first instead of ana for example)

If the meta is going to be full of dive comps like people predict and with the Ana nerf, expect to see a lot more Mercy.

Why would Mercy's pickrate go up if dive comps become more prominent? I've always felt like Mercy and Zen both were always extremely susceptible to dives.

I feel like if anything, if dive comps become more prevalent, Ana/Lucio relevance will remain the same with Mercy/Zen being situational/preference picks as they always have been.

I meant when playing a dive comp, not against one. Lucio will still be a must pick no doubt. Ana's usability will decrease drastically with the nerfs, and doesn't really suit a dive comp due to her lack of mobility (which Mercy has). Leaving her to rely on her kit alone, which while being great, it won't help with any significant pressure when singled out.

On Rein comps Ana will definitely still be more viable than Mercy however.

Ok that makes a lot more sense then, lol. Yeah Pharmercy and McMercy hopefully will be viable once again. Definitely getting tired of Ana/Lucio and before that Zen/Lucio only support combinations.

Triple tank and triple DPS both gonna be viable I think. Maybe we'll see some 2/2/2 reaper rush comps too?

i think 1-3-2 will still be popular and 2-2-2. i'm sure teams will try 3-1-2 and it probably won't work against teams of equal skill who are running 2-2/1-3.

more mccree and tracer/genji, winston, zen. maybe a widowmaker comeback?

Just like in season 2 it's gonna be 2-2-2 again, Ana and Reinhardt are still going to be 2 "must picks".

I think Winston + Zarya for tanks, tracer + genji + hanzo for dps, and ana for healing. The Hanzo uses sonic arrow to show where enemies are, then winston, tracer and genji dive while zarya sheilds winston.
