If someone tells you that you’re useless, its not because they’re “complaining about healing”, its because you are locking lucio against mercy echo and are wallriding into a death sentence.
It happens way too often that a support is clueless about why their pick isnt working and are immediately assuming its because of healing. No. Its literally you existing on a specific hero that is throwing the game.
Doesnt matter how many times you ask NICELY AND CALMLY if they can swap. It always ends in complaining. Stop.
Telling someone they’re useless isn’t helping either. I feel like sometimes the asking ‘nicely and calmly’ isn’t really asking nicely and calmly either…
It’s wild that people feel they’re entitled to comfort while underperforming.
This baby age of gaming practically has the games playing themselves while whispering sweet nothings into the ears of the whales who indulge in complacency.
Some people feel like it’s the necessity of screaming at the supports sometimes. I can agree though it’s bad if they’re only doing soak up heals.
Well it would be fine if sometimes we get help when we’re getting dived to right?
But can’t you say that to all the roles though?
Oh sorry that we can’t heal you when you’re behind the walls or somewhere off else. We’re not here to heal you 24/7. Find a health pack if you can’t spot your supports. Some of you dang DPS mains are kinda entitled if you’re not getting healed inside and out.
This isn’t a support only issue, i’m usually up for swapping if people let me know what they would rather have me play. Regardless of what role i play.
It’s just usually when someone says “(my hero) swap”.
I ask them “what do you want me to play?”
Usually there’s no reply after, so i ask again the next time i die. Still no reply, or an “idk”.
So I either ignore the request or pick a hero i’m really bad at, for some malicious compliance (in qp only).
I genuinely think this is how most team fights create a loss. “Jesus dps players just remove yourself from the entire team fight for 5-10s and get a health pack” uh huh and I’m sure I’m not gonna hear in 10s. Dps you need to kill the supports. Yeah I tried. It was a 3v1. I tried. It wasn’t easy for me alone to get the kill with people actually peeling. But yeah I’ll just remove myself from the fight and see how y’all handle a 4v5.
Please sad, dont say that. Kind of disrespectful if you bring that logic here.
We are not in 2016. All the dps and tanks help healers. If ana choses to stay 1 million miles away in the back. That is on her.
yesterday I was in a game with Life - who kept getting dived by Winston. We were on point 2,. the life was at point 1. Not once did she swap to Lucio to get away.
We were clearing owning the team. She had to make the swap. So please dont say that, you havbe to do some. So we can help you.
This is a problem across all roles, it’s nothing to do with the role, it’s a ‘people’ problem. Some people really don’t have the insight to understand how their choices affect others.
Some people eventually learn, but a lot of others don’t. Doesn’t matter what anyone says to them, it won’t get through. I’d say save your breath and focus on you, because it’s not worth the hassle of trying to correct the gameplay choices of other people. Most of the time it’s not appreciated anyway.
I love when a character gets jumped or dove it’s “I’m distracting them” please let’s not pretend you did that on purpose. Also with LW range escaping and healing can all occur at once. Not sure what excuse you have. Winton jumps on you. Put the platform down. Remain on the platform for 5s while healing, and the Winston jumps back up. Dash away while still healing. And by the time they come at you again you’ve got platform and dash again. Like what is that LW really doing if they can’t run and heal at the same time. Oh pardon me they’re “distracting”
As a Lifeweaver/Mercy main… we do not claim her. >_>
I dislike Mercys who only pocket. It’s like- sure. You can “kind of” pocket, but please heal the rest of the team, gurl!! If you don’t, you’re making your other support work way too hard.
And then toxic Mercys are the worst, too. -_- Especially if theyre toxic pocket Mercys…
(They don’t impress anyone.)
