On the bright side, Bastion has officially been picked and contributed. I think that just leaves Ashe and Roadhog unpicked.
I could have sworn Roadhog saw playtime for a teamfight or two, but I could definitely be misremembering. A shame about Ashe, I really like her kit and she's fun to watch but there just really isn't any place for her in a meta with McCree and Hanzo in the field.
The difference between Blase and Cory's McCrees is... stark
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Experimental card goes live tomorrow (hopefully) with 1-3-2.

I'm really excited to try that, if only to see what they changed with all the off-tanks. The only one I've heard is that Roadhog emits a damage-reduction cloud when he uses his breather (in experimental mode only ofc).

Sadly the triple DPS experiment has just been a series of extremely salty tank players complaining about healing the whole time as we get hard flanked by triple flankers. I think, as usual, if it was an actual team there's merit to it, but I think right now all it's doing is just bringing out the worst in everybody.

I am very frustrated that I dislike 1/3/2 so much, to be honest. As a support main, I really appreciate that the DPS can actually get into game and it speeds it up for everyone!
But the mode sucks.
It's Overwatch before 2/2/2. It's a nightmare to stay alive as support, when I am not entirely bound to healing the tank. DPS is flank-a-palooza. Nobody sticks together, and the rare times they do it's a 50/50 on whether they're going to peel at all for supports. As DPS, it feels like deathmatch. I haven't played Tank yet, but I am hearing "I NEED HEALING" spammed even when they're actively being healed by 2 supports. It's a nightmare, the peel is now relegated to DPS who....have no idea how to do that.
I feel so deeply alone in every role. Today I learned just how incredibly valuable off-tank is.
The alterations to the tanks are pretty cool though I admit. As an experiment, I kinda wish they'd keep those changes and try 2/2/2 with it. Also, I hope they do an experiment with snipers removed.
6 stacking was pretty fun but that's par for the course. Playing alone, tanking was pretty unfun. Definitely felt like I was on an island. While 6 stacking, I think the part that was most fun was the fresh comps. It did feel more fluid and more action packed but I can't really get past the feeling of solo tanking with people that I don't regularly play with and trust to have my back.

Ya I would love some form of the new take a breather to become a regular ability. Feels more tanky when it gives utility to group
I can't honestly imagine that Linkzr is worse on McCree than Blase. Blase would be good in Mei too! He's apparently a pretty smart in game player and shotcaller and Mei is a perfect position for that. He's also a flex DPS by trade! It just makes too much sense. It boggles my mind that this is supposedly worse for them.
Also on other news, the teams that were in Korea are apparently making their way to the US. Nero (if GZC) tweeted that he was heading out and that his teammates were waiting on visas.

I think Linkzr's mental has been problematic.
Yeah. When everyone was theorizing that he didn't play because he was sick, he posted on Twitter that he wasn't sick, he was just bad. It always sucks to see/hear that sort of thing.

4 METERS ON A PAYLOAD OFFENSE IS NOT GOOD

The correct decision but also the most disappointing for everyone.
Solo Roadhog let's gooooooo

unless...
the bit where he dies and plays the Windows shutdown jingle is inspired
There are like 4 different songs too!
That's what I thought but I don't think I noticed it right away so I can't be sure.
Edit: Though, Blase apparently won't be playing McCree, so that's a step in the right direction.

I would say the odds are against them, but I feel like they could pull out a win if they bother trying to get their shit together.
