And this is not just currently, but throughout the entire history this game has been out.
-
DPS Mains complained about Ana having too much DPS capability, so they nerfed her to the point now that she is barely viable unless you are running triple tank. It is only now that she has been buffed that she is seeing an increase in pickrate (though it cannot compensate for the over 1 year she was a bad pick)
-
Dps mains complained that Roadhog was too offensive as a tank. therefore they did not only nerf the cooldown of his hook but make his gun severely less impactful. Because of this, he was rendered useless and considered a troll pick for an entire season, while there was community backlash about players wanting their golden gun for him refunded.
-
DPS Mains complained about Doomfist melting them too easily, resulting in major nerfs to his kit before he even made it in competitive. Now to many he is considered a terrible character (Unless you use him with great precision) and overall nothing more than a feeder.
-
DPS Mains complained that Bastion was too hard to kill after his rework (especially the 30% ironclad). A little bit after, he was nerfed, and is now in a worse position than he was before they changed him. If Bastion was so hard to kill, then how come Genji’s double jump, dash, and ability to reflect bullets with the size of Orisa’s shield was considered alright?
And now DPS mains are going to be the reason Brigitte gets nerfed to the ground. And then a year later people are going to be asking for her to be buffed just like Ana. Oh and lets not forget about how Sym is going to be absolutely broken due to DPS mains wanting her to be powerful (Already happening with Hanzo)
So GG Tracers, Genjis, and Widowmakers. You made the game all about you. But luckily now with the new meta that’ll change (Until Blizzard succumbs to your ranting and recreates dive).

While I agree with the title of this post, it’s for different reason.
The biggest misconception in this game since it came out is that people think they’re good at dps.
If the majority of the DPS player base could take a step back, realize they’re not actually good and may be to blame, the world would be a better place.

I feel like this whole name blame thing started when Genji and McCree got nerfs right at the beginning of the game. “If I can’t do damage, then the healers I can’t kill need to nerfed!” was the logic from what I understand.
And then it all spiraled out of control from there.

this is definitely a well-reasoned and level-headed post
and of course, tanks and supports have never done anything wrong, never asked for a singular buff or nerf, no sirree

Bad tanks and supports are obviously to blame. But seeing as the majority of the player base instalock dps, the numbers say they have a louder voice.

More than DPS mains complained about Ana, in where she outclassed every single other support.
-
More than DPS complained about Roadhog’s DPS, where he could oneshot almost everyone with little effort.
-
Doomfist’s hitbox was INSANE at release, do you not remember? He could hit people through cars, around walls. Obviously something has to be done and obviously what they did was too much, but there was tons of evidence.
-
Ok this is dumb, Bastion could literally survive multiple ults but holding right click. While also being able to output high dps. Genji can deflect some ults, but it’s highly situational and completely dependent on the other person, DEFLECT ISN’T ACTIVE AT ALL TIMES LIKE IRONCLAD WAS.
Moral of the story is, most (major) complaints about the game have been complained about by someone else, stop shifting the blame.

what are you talking about, everything is DPS mains fault. ana healing too much therefore quad tank meta where everything is unkilleable and ana is a must pick so she got nerfed is DPS mains fault.
that roadhog oneshoting everything, obliterating tanks and a hook that can travel around space and time got reworked was DPS mains fault
that doomfist oneshoting everyone because of his enourmus hitbox that could kill you even if you were not on his screen got an overkill nerf it’s completly DPS mains fault.
pfff bastion wasn’t unkilleable, you could pick bastion to counter bastion. DPS mains where just bored of playing him so they complained and he got nerfed.
you are just probably a DPS main that thinks suports shouldn’t be able to defend themselfs. delete that post

Unless you have factual numbers to back this up, it means nothing to me.
I can go find factual numbers-based evidence to prove my point.

Doomfist is NOT terrible. He’s so *$(%ing annoying right now. And I see good Doomfists destroying comp games. It’s not fun.
But I agree with everything else you said.
