There is something seriously wrong with the solo support que. The players you match support solo queue people with are usually selfish individuals who do not care what so ever about winning or team work. People especially in the lower elo use competitive as Quick play. It does not matter how many game modes you have, custom lobbies nothing, people will choose to have fun, throw for a streamer, or just do what ever it takes to hear people get upset in Comp. Its either tanks running in and dying without the team, dps with less dmg and elims then healers, but if i switch to dps its a completely different experience, both teams feel evenly matched with all roles playing their best, people with microphones making calls. Something has to be seriously looked at with the matchmaking for supports. It makes much more sense to place people higher or put them with better teams and let a better team lower their elo, than place people lower and force them to ATTEMPT to climb out of something that is majority based on the performance of the rest of the team. I truly think solo support queue should have a completely different matchmaking than the other 2 roles.
A bad support should be punished, but a good support shouldnt suffer because other people. It almost always feels like the other team is overstacked and mine is brand new to the game.

I play support and only solo queue and I find it about the same as OW1. Not that bad imo. Luckily for me I play Lucio so I’ve been enjoying OW2.
That’s never gonna happen because very few people want to endure the support role already, so Blizzard wants us to fill 2-3 ranks below us to get faster queues and count that as actual loss when it inevitably goes wrong
Oh you’re plat and you lost to silvers (because your dps are silvers fighting plat dps) ?
Tough luck, you clearly should have carried, here, minus 2 ranks, clearly you’re not ready for diamond even though you used to be master

This is the issue, is that the teams are not balanced by role. Bronze tanks need to be matched with bronze tanks, silver dps with silver dps, and so forth. This seems to be an artifact from when there weren’t roles and it was just open q, so it made since to average the team sr

I know whatcha mean bro. I just had a game where I had 30k healing, my other support had 30k healing. Enemy supports had 20k healing each, and we lost due to dps diff

Hello, fellow foot enjoyer
Dude, one of my last games, Junkrat dps Silver, and an unranked Genji player who said it was his second game ever
Barely mid plat which is pathetic and i’m immediately being deliberately tanked down
But everything’s alright, clearly i didn’t pull my weight enough and that’s why we couldn’t even leave spawn
