What’s the open queue meta? What heroes win and lose in this mode?
I know a lot of people online meme on open queue, but after the dynamic modes in S3 and trying it for myself? I’m really enjoying it and having a lot of fun, I want to spend this season mostly playing OQ competitive.
That being said, for anyone else who plays open queue, what heroes are you finding more effective in this mode? I mostly play support, and I find myself definitely healing a lot more. I mainly play Kiriko and Moira. I do see Mizuki and Zen played a lot, in 5v5 I play Illari but it seems like she kind of sucks in 6v6 because the Pylon won’t stay up as much and has trouble keeping up with healing 5 people instead of 4.
I do also play hitscan and default to Emre/Soldier a lot. Most of my games have been 2-2-2 with an occasional 1-3-2.
Is there anyone who plays enough that could describe the general meta? I’ve only been playing it for a little over a week, I picked it up near the end of last season but so far it’s been pretty fun.
