Don't get me wrong, the game is great. My problem is with Blizzard and how they keep toying with it.
Everything was great I think for the first 2 patches or so. After that they got this moronic idea that every character needs an equal pick rate on every map. Here are the two flaws:
Problem 1:
This to anyone who knows games is obviously stupid. When a game develops, a meta forms. The meta and evolving countermetas will dictate pick rates.
Problem 2:
Different levels of players will play the game differently. Bastion might get lower pick rates with bad players, and be replaced by McCree in upper level play. Trying to balance this way does not account for skill levels.
The Outcome:
The changes will dictate sweeping changes to the meta every 3-4 months as "balance patches" are made. These do not solve the problems, but only make the game more volatile.
To the Blizzard Devs:
But by introducing new content and characters they keep things new and entertaining! Eventually with a set number of combinations, a player base could eventually try all the matchups. It’s annoying but the introduction of these “patches” allow for the game to breathe, I think.
