🐐 GOATS 6v6 Stomps into Overwatch 2


It’s time to put away your pulse bombs and headshots—this special event is all about big health pools, massive ultimate’s, and teamwork that makes the dream work. Welcome to a special event where the only way to play is with 3 tanks and 3 supports. No DPS allowed. Just vibes, value, and very big boops.


🔁 GOATS Returns—With a 2025 Remix


GOATS is a powerhouse team composition in Overwatch that features three tanks (like Reinhardt, Zarya, and D.Va) and three supports (such as Brigitte, Lucio, and Moira). Rather than relying on raw damage, GOATS thrives on high sustain and teamwork, allowing teams to absorb tons of pressure and Push objectives through relentless, coordinated aggression.

In Overwatch Classic: GOATS, it’s all about synergy, sustain, and game-winning ult combos. With no DPS to carry the day, success comes down to smart rotations, well-timed support, and sticking together.

🦾 Classic: GOATS Heroes can Include:

  • Brigitte – Armor-granting, stun-slinging support anchor
  • Zarya – Bubble mama with the gravity plays that turn tides
  • D.Va – Ults? Deleted. Supports? Protected.
  • Lucio – Zoom zoom! Speed boosts for days (and some beat drops too)
  • Moira & Ana – high-output healers who keep your team alive and your enemies stressed
  • Reinhardt – Big hammer. Big shatters. Big heart. 💖 BIG GOAT.

But this isn’t just a straight throwback. Modern GOATS brings some new faces and tweaks, with heroes like Wrecking Ball, a reworked Brigitte, and even Ashe sprinkled in for thematic fun. It’s retro, but fresh.
Below you can view the heroes you can play – however if you want true GOATS you have to go 3 supports and 3 tanks. •ᴗ•
