NetEase's Overwatch challenger Marvel Rivals💫 is enjoying a decent start to life with 10 millio🐭n players in 3 days, and – what's that? People are already resur🍷recting GOATS? Crud.

Here's some hi🥂story to start: In 201♉9, the second season of The Overwatch League became dominated by what's known as the GOATS meta – A tactic that involved playing with three tanks and three healers to steamroll the opposition oh so slowly. It was effective, tough to stop, and very boring to watch.

Not limited to esports, we also saw it in higher ranks of competitive play. And while that does mean that plenty of fans didn't have to play against it, they certainly had to watch their favorite streamers get flattened by it at a snail's p༺ace. The whole meta certainly influenced Overwatch's development as, alongside balance passes, we also saw the hero shooter limit how many players could fill each role in a given ranked game. On top of that, Overwatch 2 shrunk the team size down to five from six.

With all that in mind, you can see why any Overwatch fan might watch in horror as they load into a Marvel Rivals match to see, you guess๊ed it, three tan💛ks and three healers slowly rolling toward them as part of an uninteresting and effective mass.

"Games change. GꦆOATS is inevitable," esports 𝓰journalist Liz Richardson . 

But will a Marvels-shaped GOATS meta actually be an issue? It remains to be seen, though fans have been🍸 over the past few months and the current hero balance means it woꦰn't dominate as it did in Overwatch. 

Still, it raises some interesting questions for developer NetEase. The Marvel-themed hero shooter takes notes from early Overwatch, though Blizzard had to change some things up for a reasoꦯn. How NetEase tackles Bl🌜izzard's design headaches could go a long way to deciding how much staying power it truly has.

Our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Rivals review says the hero shooter is "so preoccupied with trying to be like Overwatch that it forgets to play to its own strengths" - like not having a GOATS meta, I guess.
