A question for the BLU peeps

[Reynhart]

We should be pushing SE to loosen up the meta and make statics have to choose between jobs that don't offer the same thing but are still worth having.

Statics are, by definition, not using matchmaking. So, whatever the meta is or wether you decide to follow it or not, you have all the time to talk about it beforehand and not end up with an unexpected setup once in the duty.
So, yes, give us more "limited" features like talent trees for every job or gear bonuses only available in premades and let the players be creative.
