you people have said this about every single season since ow2 released.

I’ve learned that the solution to this issue is to not listen t a community too hard. A user on here once said “listen to the problem, but don’t listen to solutions from the community” or something. That’s great advice, but I also think developers should remember that the customer isn’t always right.
The Overwatch community is full of incredibly biased or entitled players. Players who unironically would say “I couldn’t 1 v 2 Mercy and the guy she was pocketing. For that reason, she should be nerfed” or other crazy things like that. This community just shouldn’t have been listened to as much as it was, but its too late now.

You know, just because you say something with confidence, doesn’t suddenly make it true. From what i see, it’s anything but a success. Tank and support queues are dropping like flies and dps queues are becoming insanely long, even for middle ranks

Lol what are you smoking. Support is hardly impactful they can’t. Even keep anyone. Alive and tanks. Are dropping. Like flies. Because. They can’t. Receive enough healing. This. Has. Become. A. Dps only game. Might. As well be. Call of duty

That’s a piping hot take right there.

The matchmaking is absolutely broken, Soj/Soldier are dominating every lobby, and healing feels like a cosmetic role with how unbelievably OP the dps passive is and how trivial it is to apply/keep up. The hitboxes are so large that Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could land shots, the jade weapons are ugly, the comp point system is ruined, and tanking is basically miserable.
Success? Yeah, sure.

Enjoy it while you can. They’re always changing this game around. No need to crap on us support. We mostly dps, heal, and use utilities. Our healing power has been taken from us.

that’s due to tank (in which the op addressed tanks need help), but not support. I q as both dps and support and it just as long.
Not really.
As a support your choices are:
-
Do subpar healing with limited ability to save anyone. You have little autonomy and often can simply do nothing but watch your team die.
-
Do subpar damage because your kit wasn’t made to get kills with.
Wow. So much fun.

The only support that FEELS good is Zenyatta because his damage is not subpar. That’s about it.

Everyone who sucked before as DPS is happy now… its easier to hit targets (which was never a problem in Overwatch… but here we are).

Dps have always been extremely useful. There’s a reason smurfs pick DPS over any other role. There’s a reason people can carry themselves to GM on DPS. There’s a reason some DPS have such high win rates over others.
If DPS were truly irrelevant, than you’d have none of the above.

Success for who exactly?? DPS players? Are y’all this selfish or?? It’s far from success for Support and Tank players.

As a dps player (who has been flexing more to support and tank in OW2 lol), I wholeheartedly disagree.
DPS is more useful now, yes, but it’s in the worst way possible. Shots that should never hit, now hit. Beaming down people ez value as Soldier is so braindead now, even more than it already was. I hate the fact that I can just lock dps and constantly beam the enemy tank and cripple their entire team through it - because that’s such a one-dimensional way of catering to dps value, and I know how bad it feels for the tank player too.
This is the worst update in OW2’s life. Also dps players are less catered to, so don’t expect the devs to keep the dps changes that you currently enjoy the benefit of. Supports can go over a full year with a broken passive left unchanged, but mark my words the dps changes wont hold for more than a few weeks lmao.
Power creep was the only way to make dps feel useful, and that’s a telltale sign things are not well. Power creep should never be hailed as a good solution. We’ve been here before, aint our first rodeo. Years of experience.
OP is a bit delusional, they don’t speak for most dps players (as is evident in their lack of likes/support in this thread). Sincerely, a dps player.

WRONG season 9 is a massive failure.

Oh honey, you forgot to add that a new dps hero is coming next season.
We are so going back to 10 min dps queues.

I wonder if OP will remain this chipper as their queue time skyrockets?

Sure, they’re very impactful when they get cratered into the ground by every DPS under the sun.

Ok so I’ve learned to translate this strange forum language into actual English. Let’s break it down
Means “I’ve been playing a lot but am not happy.”
Means “support got slightly less fun because there’s a way to get a 20% healing discounted. But Zen is still probably the best character by a mile. Also tank is just as bad as it always was if not a bit better because it was mostly bad.
Means “I’m not really good at the hitscans but I dislike that they got easier. I can’t hit my hanzo arrows and new pharah is hard.
Means “look I didn’t like it but that’s just my opinion man. There’s clearly more players now.”
