I am starting to feel a bit down playing support

I don’t know why but I really thought Echo would be support and they knew most thought that. I kinda wish that they had said a while back would be a dps.
The thought of waiting till OW2 to get another support feels lame.
To also let Echo copy a support ult just feels wrong!! Play support if you want to save a team with a support ult. Feels unfair.

Now the Hero bans this week banned Brig. Sure I can now play Moira and Ana again, but only ban only 1 dps! That feels wrong. They have a huge amount of choice and 2 tanks banned.

I just feel like they should be trying to encourage more to play tank and support and yet they so often seem to give more to DPS.

Ok, i am fully aware this is just me feeling disappointed with Echo being DPS. I just want new content for a support as well.

Anyway my moan is over lol

Echo is a support… temporarily when she ults and transforms into a support :slight_smile:

well i know she will be fun for DPS ‘hell she looks amazing’. I just think as someone said she shoudl have been saved for OW2 and another support should have been released now.

I just feel a bit strongly that a DPS etc should not get access to a support ult.
I imagine they will nerf her to being able to ult only once, as in Stylosa vid he used Trans twice!! They should NOT be better than actual Zen lol

Maybe let them use ult but watered down version. I don’t know. But to give Rally one of the slowest charging ults to a non brig player just feels wrong…

I know this only my opinion but I play support mostly. I do get DPS will be happy and do not want to take that away from them. That said supports need more love. Do not give our ults out to others

Translation:

I know we just got a support hero but I’m going to be depressed that Blizzard isn’t going to favorite us support and give us another hero.

posted this in another thread…

Here is the thing…
While in the training area , yeah it might seem easy to farm multiple ULTS in little time.

While in a match with shields, enemy players hiding and shooting you…you will have a harder time generating damage so you can build up your ult(s).

If you become Zen during a comp game, you think you can just go on the front lines and click heads to generate enough damage to get 2 ultimate’s in time?

that is fair.
I am not happy she can do 4 x damage to low shields. Orisa was massivly nerfed and her shield weak as it is.

i worry about places like Volsyka. how easy on attack she can fly over us to the point and then use her bombs second you come round the corner.
At least with Pharah you can hear her leap into air.

Tbh
They should make her a support
To make support heros be 8 like tanks then ow2 release with multiple heroes

But nooooooo
Dps must be 17 heroes

There way too many DPS chars as it is. I am pleased new heroes in OW2, but come on give us a support and then several DPS hero’s in OW 2.
i just feel annoyed as Jeff knew most thought she would be dps.

Who cares what role she is. If she’s fun to play then play her. Don’t let her role stop you.

I only play heroes that I enjoy and like the abilities. I love heroes across all roles.

Their roles shouldn’t stop you from playing them and loving them.

Adding more dps is a mistake

That will make more of tanks and supports players move to dps then making queue time worse and unplayable

There’s no any single reason to make her dps

if someone only plays support ‘most of the time’ they are going to be disappointed.

As said for some reason most of community assumed ‘wrongly’ she would be support.

Sounds boring :neutral_face: They’re missing out on a lot of fun by sticking to one role only.

Moira is my main, but I would never 1trick her or only play support.

I think ow is the most enjoyable when overlooking roles and just loving heroes because you vibe with their abilities.

What are you talking about? The last support hero was Bap and he was added WAY back in like March of last year. The last hero we got in general was Sigma, in August.

If they were going to add 2 heroes for sure before OW2, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

someone got to keep the DPS and tanks alive lol.
I just love healing myself. I do a little tank and DPS but some just gravitate to a certain role. that may not be boring for them.

Agree jrg7777. If we knew in a few months another hero coming out that would be ok. Yet they given NO indication how long till OW2.

Should I go back even further to when the last DPS was added? Should I?

That’s what happens when you have such a huge imbalance in the roles.

At least there are 2 tanks banned this week, not like anyone actually played them though…

Should we go back to the game’s launch where we had 3 healers? Should we?

Yes because having 16 DPS is not enough options! You’re so right! Us support players and our 7 options, two of whom haven’t been viable for a year, are just spoiled with heroes!

Well if you don’t want to stop playing, start Prozac!

Then don’t heal.
I’m not saying it out of spite. Just don’t. Better yet, leave the game. Many support/tank mains are doing so. They noticed that the devs do not care for tank’s and support’s experience.

So do this: either start dpsing or leave.
For your sake.
