If you are not familiar with what GOATs Comp is, here is a brief history -

GOATs was/is a Open Division/Contenders Trials (Tier 3) level team. They competed in the Beat Invitational back in May (28-29th). They were sent to the loser’s bracket by Envision. After being sent to the Loser’s bracket, GOATs decided to run 3 tanks and 3 supports, more specifically, Reinhardt-Zarya-D.Va-Moira-Lucio-Brigitte. GOATs began winning over and over with this powerful composition both on Attack and Defense, eventually winning 11 straight maps and ultimately the tournament. Even though Contenders teams were competing in said Tournament, the composition caught all opponents off-guard. Thus, the “GOATs comp” was born.

So, why is this an issue?

While this comp isn't easy to pull off as a Gold or Platinum player, in the hands of professional players, the comp is . This Composition is counterable, but it requires way more effort to counter than to run GOATs yourself. As such this has caused a butterfly effect in the entire league with many, if not all, of the Overwatch league teams running GOATs in the Season Opener 2019 games.

As a Viewer and an All access Pass Holder myself, this composition is extremely boring to watch. Many chats that I went to, on opening night, are mostly in agreement with this feeling. It is not interesting. It is not fun. It is the opposite of parody. To have little to non-existent variety between compositions in the league makes me regret spending my money on the Pass.

While the Suggestion of deleting Brigette has been the main response from the Overwatch community on fixing many issues, another idea may be easier. Make a Rule to ban the composition from the league. Many professional leagues have rules that modify how a game is played, why shouldn't the Overwatch League be any different. A ban may seem extreme, but at this point, even with character nerfs and buffs to counter it, GOATs still rules the league.
