I’m a casual QPer and this game is practically unplayable if someone decides to just ignore their role in a 5v5. I get that it can be a little fluid with tanks, but there really isn’t any ambiguity that supports should be healing more than damaging.
If it’s like <500 by the end of the game I feel comfortable reporting AFK, but the issue is more like they’ll have an amount of healing, but then they’ve done twice as much damage (in a game where we clearly needed healing)- it’s usually an Ana, Moira, or sometimes Bap.
Support is there to Support the team, they are not “Healers” that is only 1/2 their kit. remember all the dps players begged for this and that’s why the Dps debuff exists.
DPSing is very much a support’s job. And you, as a DPS (or tank), don’t get to dictate to your support how much they should—or should not—be DPSing. Playing poorly is not actionable. DPSing a little too much and healing a little too little is not something you should be spamming game reports on. Throwing, however, is reportable. But throwing is more obvious. Like purposely running off the map repeatedly, or sitting in spawn. That should be reported.
You should just probably switch around that unless they just outright let you die next to them ignoring you or doing some dumb stuff like feeding to flanks the entire game. If not then swapping tanks and DPS is usually the answer and going something that wouldn’t need so much healing
Fixed that for you… there are damage with healing options does that make them healers? should they do nothing but use those heals for the team? if your answer is anything except no you are the problem
The only support that should ever be doing “zero” damage is Mercy, but her actual damage numbers are concealed in personal stats for damage boost. I wish they’d count it towards her damage on the scoreboard.
It is disingenuous to pretend that a DPS refusing to participate is the same as a support player out damaging a DPS player actively trying.
It’s not the argument you believe it to be, Disco. Maybe they SHOULD report the dps for getting out damaged by a zero heal support. One of those members is objectively doing more and it ain’t the one you are blaming because of your entitlement.
Sorry, no. I’ve had one genius whining over my healing yesterday to a point he was literally fuming, calling me the worst MORIA (I love how he repeated this like 15 times, you’ll know who you were) player ever, whining how I’m not healing his clumsy rear charging alone into battle and dying, despite me almost exclusively sticking to him (he was a tank). And looking at my healing numbers, I was 2nd best healer iirc (I know I wasn’t the worst at all and I had about the same healing numbers as whole) in entire game while also having quite some kills.
People who whine over healers are annoying. I also play as DPS and I’ve not once complained over any healer and probably never will. I’ll really have to have supports spinning in place on spawn for me to do that.
Nah. I also suggest reporting anyone who refuses to play just because sombra is around. There’s no amount of mental gymnastics that will excuse someone from griefing their team just because someone is using a playable character.
