Dps will be the most valuable role in season 9

The new passive is too good, so the dps will be the priority target, so tanks can survive more. Dps mains asked to be impactful (actually, they want to be in the star role). Good luck playing the respawn simulator. We can’t predict what will happen, but just my thoughts about this alleged patch.

passive won’t make anyone hit better.
maybe the projectile changes have an effect.

you think dps hit better now knowing they have a usable passive now?

i still see loses and wins because of ana nade and not having it as it gives clear signals what to shoot. focus fire isn’t something the playerbase is known for in the common ranks. which this tries to address i assume.

its already a win imho if people realize that cover exists everywhere.

Neither is supports being strong. Thats a high rank thing

Bigger hit boxes will help. This is probably blizzes way of doing a dps patch

But isnt that for everyone so support and tank will also hit easier and again ana nade is still just better ontop of immortality being insanly strong

Yeah, but tanks and support don’t have built in anti. (Besides ana)

I am hoping its all fake. Personally.

20% healing reduction for 2 seconds = anti

ok

It’s going to get an abbreviation and it’s going to be anti. Make your peace with it now (assuming the leak is real anyway).

It’s also going to be important to land DPS’ anti.

You think i am comparing it to anas ability. No.

I am talking about systemic anti-healing similar to paladins.

So any amount of healing reductions = Anti-healing

That makes more sense but that context wasn’t there in the first comment

20% will not do much when healing is still insane top healing used to be 100hps but now its over 350 thats insane and the main problem

This is already the case
You think the enemy dps is bothering with trying to kill Bap or Kiriko or a tank? Nope
Nothing changes in terms of priorities except maybe in lower ranks I guess

i don’t disagree, its just supports are generally easier / safer to play but given how players on both role can act like headless chicken and neglect positioning completely its not a big suprise.

support only becomes not easy when your team has never heard about peel and only no Rush B. with a semi usable team its a borderline afk job unless you wanna push your teams advantage by adding dmg and key ability usage.
(not that dps has to be much harder unless you really try to make it as hard as possible for yourself)

It is a buff, idk about the most valuable role though.

But I imagine the role is going to have unplayably long queue times again sadly.
