When it comes to most of the roles, the easiest role in this game is DPS by far. There are characters that require more skill than others but as fair as the role job, DPS has the easiest job in the game and somehow people cant manage to do that. Somehow we still have to wait 10 minutes and then within 10 minutes we get people who can not manage to at least some type of damage. Its embarrassing where I am Baptiste who is healing and damaging equally with Gold medals. Its even more embarrassing when its âOpen Queueâ and I get 5 GOLDS compares where two of them are ELIMS and DAMAGE compared to Soldiers, Reaper, Tracer and an Ashe and I am play Ana. DPS players need to get with the program.

It is imo 
Especially in 222 where 4+ people on the enemy team either have huge hp pools or have self sustain, (or if youâre hog you have both)
Dps is incredibly difficult, theres no reason to say it isnt besides just being salty

Not sure how else to put this but DPS role isnât just about getting gold damage and elims.
With some play styles, that will be the main tank and off tank.

If your supports and tanks are good then it is easy. Otherwise itâs the most difficult

What is this post bro?
Itâs incredibly rude. Replace dps with tanks or supports and itâs tale as old as time.
Be respectful. Take this trash down. Itâs just antagonizing fights.

As a tank/support player, honestly, who cares? This post comes off as insecure and mean. Stop treating Overwatch like a giant pissing contest.

Then get off the post. Obviously its not my intention but if people get in the manner, that is their fault. Not mine
The forums arenât your personal Diary and using them in this matter without constructive feedback or at least something positive or funny ruins the forums.
News flash thatâs why blizzard doesnât take us seriously and would rather go talk to reddit peeps.

I can see a lot of players here are massively delusional
ah yes, holding down m1 / 2 on a hero as mercy takes is so hard compared to all the DPS

DPS rely on tanks to make space, tanks rely on supports to heal them so they can click W, supports also rely on tank to be able to peel for them when needed, but they also rely on dps for that too (depends which dps hero youâre playing), dps also rely on those heals as well to be able to go in and do damage.
In conclusion, DPS rely on other people slightly more to be able to do their job, but overall itâs really even.
All I know is. Tank is the easiest :0

Seriously all three roles take different skill sets but different skills, stop attempting to make it some big war over which takes the most l33t gamers to play

Thanks - the most sensible post here.
The roles are interlinked.
The number of times Iâve heard my DPS partner say they arenât getting heals and my heart dies a little when I realize we have not peeled a single time for the healers as a team, Iâve lost count.
I think peeling is the most absent skill in lower ranks and that is the fault of all players (perhaps with the exception of main tank and flex DPS).
To be frank here, if you are having gold healing several times, your healers are definitely not being peeled for and they are probably dying before they can heal the DPS.
Also, you should consider how big the impact of your ultimates are vs the enemy you are feeding with the damage you are taking.
As Roadhog, you have by far the most sustain so you can stay in the fight longer so if your team is dying, you will definitely get gold elims unless you die early.
Obviously sometimes you wonât be able to win because people play badly but honestly, there isnât much you can do about that so you need to give them the best chance to win.
Instead of killing healers on a flank, kill the biggest threat to your team/healers. If there is nothing to kill them, they will be able to heal you up.
Or just post complaints on a board - whatever makes you happy.
Sincerely, a gold player.

As a support and tank main.
It is the most stressful role.

Dps surely is the easiest to play role, but on the other hand is the hardest role to make an actual difference to the game result.
Dps can make a good follow-up, but canât really carry on their own. Ofc that is sometimes the possibility, but it rarely happens
For me it is like this, from hardest to easiest:
Tank - DPS - Support

Idk if it is the hardest but it is the most carefree role. You go wherever you want and you kill whoever you want.
