It’s impossible to land on a meta that pleases every Overwatch player, says the game’s director Jeff Kaplan, and his team’s options for addressing their complaints at any given time are limited. That’s a very reductive summary of the thoughts he shared with Overwatch streamer Fran as part of the new Ana-centric Bastet promotion (via Kotaku).

The current Overwatch meta is named ‘GOATS’ (for the pro team that pioneered it), and relies on high-HP characters, damage mitigation, and area-of-effect healing to win attritional fights with the other team. It can be boring to play against and has been around for a while, which has led to a fair bit of grumbling by commentators. Kaplan argues this is natural:

“What’s inevitably gonna happen is, whether the meta changes or not, people will end up not liking the current meta.” Referencing recent balance changes, he says the meta may be about to shift: “I’ve seen people say that GOATS is dead, and now it’s just double sniper, and that’s gonna be terrible. Or everyone is going to play McCree. At a certain point, what the hell do you people want?”
