Overwatch has been dominated by the so-called GOATS meta for months now, creating an environment in which heavy brawlers and beefy ultimates bowl over their opposition. As effective as GOATS is, it requires deep knowledge of the strategy's strengths and weaknesses. It also requires knowing who to pick. Here's our guide for that second part.

Overwatch GOATS Meta: Which Heroes to Pick
GOATS, also known as 3-3 or triple tank, is fundamentally about stacking fat health pools on top of one another and rolling through objectives. It features three tank heroes and three support heroes to keep them healthy.
On the tank side, three heroes are used most often with GOATS. The most fundamental is Reinhardt, flanked on either side by Zarya and D.Va. On the support front, the most popular choices are Moira, for her ability to generate massive healing throughput, Lúcio for his speed boost, and Brigitte for her crowd control capabilities.
