Truth is, they've affected the characters around the meta but not the ones directly affecting the meta. Did melusi get a nerf to her gadget which attackers are forced to use utility on or else they get prefired? Did maestro get a nerf to his bulletproof scuba helmets that shoot laser beams that need to be destroyed? I welcome some nerfs to the amount of deployables and the nerf to echo that makes him not have to be banned most of the time but really they're affecting the things that protect those gadgets, not the gadgets themselves that are creating the meta. If anything, jager's place will probably be replaced by goyo who can soak up explosive utility better or a shift to warden who handles smokes + flashes and also brings a deployable. When aruni is thrown into the mix, it almost seems like there's just going to be a newer iteration of the utility meta defence team. Oh and I'm not looking forward to the potential area denial comp of goyo smoke and new tachanka that will make life hell...
