GOATS is a powerful team composition in Overwatch that consists of three tanks and three support heroes, with no damage-dealing characters. The name originates from a North American Overwatch Contenders Trials team called GOATS, who popularized this strategy.

The standard GOATS composition includes:

• Tanks: Reinhardt, Zarya, and D.Va
• Supports: Lúcio, Moira, and Brigitte

The composition's strength lies in its sustainability during team fights, with coordinated ultimate abilities and constant healing keeping the tanks alive. Three heroes are considered essential to the composition: Lúcio, Brigitte, and D.Va.

While GOATS has proven highly effective in professional play, it has faced criticism from the community, particularly from DPS players who must adapt to tank or support roles. Despite attempted balance changes, the composition has remained viable in competitive play.
