As a melee player who was there when ult launched, the meta of how the game is played is soooo much more refined and interesting now than it was then, but there was an excitement about early ult that can't really be replaced. Everyone's neutral game isnt as smooth brained anymore lol
I hate steve okay ? But, Steve doesn't have to be banned, we doesn't have to ban character, even if it's broken, high pick etc. I think, the meta is going to change again. Oh in the EU, the meta is goated
2024 meta isn't that bad honestly. There has been a rise in a lot of mid-tier and even a few low tiers in tournament. And while top 8 in big tournaments are usually the same faces there still are some interesting picks and in smaller tournament there have been a lot more mid-tier characters winning or getting high placements. i think that ultimate by far has the highest character diversity. Oh and not gonna lie Steve is cool and we all have to stop denying that. He's cheese but cool.
