Got flamed 5 times today playing support

Meanwhile Tracer and Genji where all over me and no one cared. This game is horrible.

OW2 has drained my enjoyment of support. Now I just get jumped by flankers then get bullied by my unhelpful team.

Genji and moira have succed my will to play support completely out of me. The problem is I don’t want to solo tank as it’s too much pressure and I don’t want to wait in queue for DPS. So stuck with support having a miserable time because of those 2 heroes and every 1-shot in the game.

I defended Blizz with all the criticism of OW1, but OW2 is a disaster for support and these delays in balancing are a joke.

I recommend you turn off text and voice chat and then you can relax knowing you won’t have to deal with toxic people.

But how will you know who to report if your teammates start throwing because they think you’re the problem? lol

Did you tell your team in chat to watch your back and help you? If they didn’t help you then it’s not your fault.

Yeah ofc but they never did. Used Voice.

…why didn’t you eliminate them yourself…? :thinking:

My own suggestion is to find a healer that can evade or fight back. Moira is a good choice for flankers such as Genji and Tracer. Overwatch has counters and being a one trick isn’t going to help you in general. Not saying you’re a one trick.

…so what are you going to do to improve your chances as a support player? Additionally which support/s were you playing…? :thinking:

Just pick monkey and bounce around like some autistic kid hopped up on caffeine and sugar, you will be fine.

How about you start giving me tips instead of constantly asking vague questions? I was playing Bap and Ana

Most people don’t use voice anymore. It’s sad. :confused:

Anyway, sorry you had to experience that. Genji and flanking Moiras are definitely an issue to watch out for at the moment. It’s really helpful if both supports can watch eachother’s back, but I know that doesn’t always happen.

If I type while they are attacking me Im dead. Cant stop my gameplay.

Yeah, which is why it’s really unfortunate that people abandoned voice chat.

I think I’ve seen … 5, 6? Other people in VC since the launch of OW2.

…wouldn’t you rather a person understand where you’re coming from before offering you advice…? :thinking:

Bap can’t really counter Tracer & Genji unless your aim is cracked although Ana can shoo them off if you can land your sleep (which I’d hope you’re saving if your constantly being dived like you suggest.)

Zen or Moira are decent 1v1 choices if you’re simply not getting any help from your team also… :slight_smile:

Id rather you get to the point though.

Against tracer and genji??

Team “DPS moiras suck”

Me: I wasn’t a DPS moira for the first 8 minutes of our 10 minute match and the fact you didn’t know is exactly why I changed.

As support you have to just tune out the noise and relish in watching them perish while trickling as they blame you.
