Overwatch 2 director confirms what we already knew: the 'meta' isn't all that important

Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller has been doing something pretty neat lately: talking about Overwatch 2.

The de facto voice of Blizzard on matters of Overwatch recently made it

[{"selector":"#anim-2edee9dd-4ba9-44ad-9991-ba89c7564136 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

a goal to communicate with players more often about the current state of the game,

[{"selector":"#anim-ea81a703-c21b-42cb-b025-271914277d7c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and the man is on a roll. So far with his "Director's Take" series, Keller has written about ranked woes, the future of Arcade mode

[{"selector":"#anim-8716e659-2d77-4c45-9e99-b89de37c50c8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.937499914669296%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

the failed experiment that is map pools.

It's refreshing to see so much transparency from Overwatch's top brass on topics that matter most to daily players.

[{"selector":"#anim-71f3b8d3-f35f-45bc-a241-d8869d591c18 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

today's blog concerning win rates and hero popularity is easily his most illuminating yet.

[{"selector":"#anim-32cf1c7a-62c6-41ef-9e8a-0979fdb68dd5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Right out of the gate, Keller shares some interesting observations about
