This call out is useless btw, like what do you want them to kill EXACTLY also its ow2 we all have guns one of us just needs 1 kill seriously.
Tho without the dps passive somethings are definitely… questionable…

Real. Look at end of game stats recently. One team will have like 30kills,40kills,25kills then the other team is like 10kills, 5 kills, 8kills but both having not that big disparity in terms of damage dealt. The game revolves not around killing the enemy but which team has the most buttons they can press that simply prevents final blows.
Quick Tip for those who apparently don’t know:
Everyone can do damage in this game, not only DPS.
Bonus Fact:
Most of the time, both DPS only do around 55-65% of the team’s DPS
PS: If you don’t want to believe it, live your dream bud

The dps need the tank to provide opportunities to, y’know, deal damage. The dps need the supports to allow them to peek and go for trades. In a razor’s edge optimization scenario, the dps role entirely relies on the other roles in order to do anything meaningful. But when the tank is sucking up excessive amounts of support resources, the supports can’t help the dps be efficient. And when the supports aren’t playing optimally, the tank needs to spend more time sucking their thumb behind cover and therefore not creating opportunities for the dps to do the thing they signed up for. There are literally countless other interactions, but these are pretty common.

It is fine. I am not picky. Just kill something and I will be happy.

Don’t you dare point this out. Tanks and supports could NEVER damage and kill

Does killing my hopes of winning count?

All roles depend on the other roles.
Tank is expected to draw fire and do damage so the team can move more freely.
Support are expected to heal and help kill stragglers.
Dps are expected to secure eliminations
But on top of that, each role has more specific needs for the other two, depending on hero picks.
I can only really speak about my own personal needs from the roles, as every person has slightly different expectations.
(Some dps players clearly expect to be made permanently immortal in some games.)
All i need from tank and dps is that the tank occasionally falls back a bit so he’s easier to heal up.
And that the dps try to kill the enemy dps.
Even when i play tank i hope that the dps are killing the enemy dps. As that’s the biggest danger on the enemy team.

The context of the thread is people complaining about dps not killing anything. I’m not going to spell out every interaction.

sometimes its not even their fault, or at least not totally. if theres no space for your team to play angles then theyre probably just gonna be denied the entire time unless they have good burst damage

Kill something when half the support roster can hit E and negate all of your effort without any thought?
Yea, that doesn’t work out for half the dps heroes anyway.

how did you post saying the k word without getting banned
Kill isn’t banned… you shouldn’t get like actioned or anything for that.
If you did a Mod abused there power I’d report that to customer service.

3 supports can do that. Kiri, bap and lifeweaver.
If you let a mercy hover around and dive for the rez without shooting her on approach. That’s on you.
You check for her location when you kill something and start pressuring her.
I ping the mercy the moment i hear my team kill the enemy tank (or anyone else who’s been a major threat) so that everyone in my team knows where she is and can start pressuring her the moment she dives for the corpse.

To be fair, if you kill someone behind cover, it’s more or less as simple as pressing the button to resurrect them.
Does that do anything for you? I spam ping her and yet…

Yea Mercy hiding in a building is something I can do so much about. Ana and her anti which forces me to then have to use nearly all my cooldowns is something I can deal with(or anyone) for sure. Just bait it all and then get to have fun? As if.
It does help in a quarter of my games.
And i always hope that people will start paying attention to pings.
My fellow support does notice pings and helps me guard the corpses. Sometimes if my team plays with doomfist, orisa or hog the tank turns around and stuns her out of the rez.
The other tanks would take too long to be able to intercept most “safe” rezzes. (Reinhardt can reach in time sometimes. If the mercy is careless or desperate enough)
And at least people react to mercy pings more often than they do to dps and flanker pings. To which they react to maybe once in a 100 matches XD
If the place is close enough, you can take that space. If you see the mercy go for a rez, you can immediately pressure the rest of the team hard. They only have one healer at most for a few seconds.
Plenty of time to kill a dps or the other support.

And yet all dps players do is cry that their role is useless because tanks and supports get more kills and damage than them
