Competitive is safe :slight_smile:

Thats certainly one opinion.

I find Support and Tanks plenty fun when the team is cohesive, and built for success.

4 DPS, is not ‘built for success’. Its throwing.

If you don’t want to play tank and healer then I completely understand

But passive aggressively yelling at your team and blaming them the entire round for not wanting to fill is a bit silly if you yourself refuse to fill the role.

  • DVA unfun
  • Moira unfun
  • Reaper fun

Can you guys imagine unironically having this opinion?

While I will admit DPS is generally more fun to play, that isn’t the only reason. You can carry a game as DPS but no amount of tanking or healing can save a trash team. For as much as every one goes on about OW being a team based game, not all roles are equal in their impact.

You can block 30k dmg, or heal 20k+ and revive 5 allies. It doesn’t help anything if the 4-5 DPS you have can’t kill anything. When your sitting on gold dmg as Orisa or Moira you know something is wrong. Or end of the match you have Gold elims… with 1 or 2 kills.

Not as unfun as getting hammered because the other team is a real comp while you have five DPS. Seriously is playing your stupid little skill hero and dying repeatedly and being shut down more fun than actually being able to play the game?

Sorry, lemme phrase it this way. Who do you want to play more? Widowmaker, the person who you can carry on, or Reinhardt, the person you have to rely on others to carry you on?

Free weekend players can’t queue for comp

I’d rather play the hero that helps my team win and not lose.

That’s what I always want to know. Sometimes Team All The DPS works fine because the red team is similarly kitted out or they’re bad. But if you’re ramming your heads against a wall of tanks, what are you actually getting out of the game?

I mean personally? At the moment I like Rein because he’s fun. Widowmaker in much more binary for me. If I have a good game, yeah those 3 headshots back-to-back-to-back feel great.

But if I have a bad game, WIdowmaker feels awful because I’m contributing literally nothing.

Having a good healer, and just brawling as Rein (and not dying) feels awesome. You muscle the enemy team around and they can’t do a damn thing about it.

I don’t care.

Let’s say you’re a good player who’s able to be a godly Widow, but you can be a good Rein. Oh, and by the way, playing Rein gets you flamed because other DPS mains will say ‘LUL HE TAKES 0 AIM SO 0 SKILL’

Tell me who you’re gonna instalock.

Unless you’re one of, I’ll be generous and say 1000 certain people, you’re not going to be godly on Widow without your team (remember them?) putting in some work to keep you alive/distract the red team.

Also, who tf actually gives a crap whether or not their team is impressed by the difficulty level of the hero they’re playing? A win is a win, or are people so desperately empty inside that they can’t enjoy a victory unless their team is only comprised of ~mechanically demanding~ heroes?

I dunno about you, but people in match chat telling me that Doomfist and Reinhardt take zero aim and therefore zero skill aren’t fun to see.
