Lol. My profile is public. I am very, very clearly not a Mercy main. Breast cancer awareness icon =/= mercy main.
And nowhere in here does it say “DPS = bad.” The issue is, “DPS getting all the new heroes while tank/support get nothing = bad.”
TBH, I even think most DPS players would agree that it’s not great for them to be ignoring tank/support in hero releases.
Doubt it. Many of them are too self-absorbed, poisoned by “special treatment” DPS as role gets. When you always get special attention, eventually you would believe, that you deserve it.
Of course. But people on the forums don’t get that. It’s as if you never did this before, for like - 20,000,000 times already. Not you specifically but all of Blizzard employees that deliver information to the community.
People are shallow, they think in order for something to happen, it must happen right now or it doesn’t happen at all.

TBF, Blizzard has said a LOT of things that have never actualized.
In 2018, they said they would be prioritizing new tank/support releases to even out the roster, and since that, we had 1 tank, 1 support, and 3 dps (including sojourn). And that was 4 years ago. And they’ve said it numerous times since (heck, that was basically the idea behind AndyB’s comment) but we still have no solid evidence of it.
You can say “You’re just being impatient!” but there’s no evidence of them actually fulfilling promises from 4 years ago, you can see why them just saying “we’re working on it” doesn’t hold a lot of water.
It’s honestly the same as the fact that we had a dev update around six months ago where they promised they would communicate more freuqently with the community… and then they went totally radio silent for 6 months.

Good, we need more DPS. That’s only good news.
Im 4 days late, but…
“free to play, just at the cost 75$!”
And we have a high degree of confidence that we’re going to end up with 6 more Brig/Bap/Sig do it all heroes that further ruin the game. Blizzard has consistently proven that they don’t care or listen to feedback around balancing/hero design and map design so I think we have a reason to be VERY skeptical to say the least. It’s very hard to root for a company when literally EVERYTHING they do is too little too late, and no I’m not just referring to ow2. I’m referring to literal years of the worst possible balance decisions.

I think it’s the “us vs them” mentality DPS mains, support mains, and tank mains here all have slowly gotten. It makes them filter out anything that doesn’t support their view that they are “oppressed”. 
Because developers clearly show, that they are incapable of managing multiple roles equally.
I cannot trust this. OW1 have more DPS than sup and tank, i think blizz lost criativity to design new heroes.
Community did many hero concepts, why not listen these people?

Devs gimp tanks.
Tanks leave.
Devs don’t gimp DPS, they buff them.
DPS stays.
ugh, my head. I feel like I’m so close to putting it together. Why in the world would tanks leave and DPS players stay if DPS are being catered to!

Which is exactly why they are lifeline of this game. If suddenly they all disappear, DPS will never find their match and game would simply not function.
