Overwatch Classic GOATS game mode

Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 7, Overwatch 2 players can jump into the Overwatch Classic GOATS meta. This is a six-versus-six (6v6) game mode with a select roster of heroes. The tanks include D.Va, Orisa, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Winston, Wrecking Ball, and Zarya.

Meanwhile, the playable damage heroes are Ashe, Bastion, Cassidy, Doomfist, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, Mei, Pharah, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Sombra, Symmetra, Torbjorn, and Tracer. Note that Doomfist is a damage hero in this meta, so don't give your supports too much of a difficult time if he's more squishy than usual. In this game mode, Doomfist has 250 health instead of his regular 525.

As for the support heroes, you can choose from Ana, Brigitte, Lucio, Mercy, Moira, and Zenyatta.
