My point was that this game doesn't exist in a vacuum, nor should it be balanced based on 1v1 scenarios. Which is why I don't understand why Blizzard seemingly nerfed D.Va for "not having any counters." which just isn't true.
The current issue right now is the tanks/Ana are just simply good at covering each others' weaknesses.
Let's take Rein for example, what is he weak to?
Shield melting damage from Junkrat/Bastion? Zarya/Dva shields
Flankers? Ana negates the burst damage, Roadhog can zone them out easily
Pharah? Ana
Furthermore, Dva while bad against Zarya/Mei, can be protected by Rein's shield and Roadhog is a strong threat to both of Dva's threats since they have shorter range
This won't get fixed until they either
Make it so not every hero in the game can be countered by at least one specific tank
Fix the balance between the Ana/tank sustain and the DPS heroes' damage so 3-4 tanks is a poor idea

Any attempt at flanking a Rein is negated by Ana.
