Updated:

25 Aug 2017

With the addition of Doomfist onto the roster totaling the heroes to 25, it’s quite commendable that Blizzard is able to keep including diverse and creative characters in a lineup already filled with a range of skill and design. But with every new addition, it shakes up the formula in terms of balancing; every new hero has to account for already established abilities and counters. You risk alienating certain abilities when changes to the composition is introduced, but Blizzard has done a fantastic job keeping each hero relevant in team strategies.
