why are you, and some others so DPS focused? this is the exact reason why I made this post.
Your reply just shows everyone the disrespect that we support players endure all the time.

I don’t mind not getting the POTG for enabling someone. I’m just quietly "teehee"ing in satisfaction if I know I helped someone get their POTG. Besides, my enabling play is usually clearly shown in the clip anyway
I’ve gotten several POTGs myself as Lifeweaver by using my thorns, and I would have it no other way
Ive seen and had potg for support for every char except Mercy she is the only one with an ultimate that wont really help that as pistol does very little except when paired with a Katsune rush i guess but POTGs seems to only be triggered by DMG done and no other stat.
Despite what I said up there, I did somehow manage to get ONE healing-based POTG as Lifeweaver once. Just because I’m a Thornweaver, doesn’t mean I’m bad at healing. Behold
I’ve gotten some potg’s as mercy.
Usually you have to save a really low teammate, finish off one or two people and rez someone. All in quick enough succession.
But this only works if no one’s gotten a 4k or bigger.
In very avarage games i’ve gotten a potg as mercy just for sneaking up on a widow and eliminating them with headshots before returning to my team.
Bap is a POTG machine lol, along with Zen and Illari. It’s really just Mercy, Ana and LW struggling to get POTG because the system too heavily favors damage and kills.
Support players literally ruined this game.
Only as you define it, which is catastrophically flawed

The support role is flawed. Invulns and rez absolutely should not exist in this game. But you guys love abusing those things and don’t want to admit that those things ruined this game. Double standards are of course wild and ridiculous as always here.
But I know most people here hate OW or they’d just accept what needs to be done.
I played a lot of Ana, and all nano blade potg belonged to Genji, i simply pressed Q from safe distance, he had to pressed Q, then a bunch of sequences at neck breaking speed to avoid all the cc and kill multiple enemies.
I re-watched the POTG and know that i wouldnt be able to pull it off if i were the Genji.
I’ve said since overwatch one that they should make a split screen POTG.

So support players created these things? Shall I list all the non-support garbage that shouldn’t exist in the game? I guarantee my list is much longer.

Its a PVP game, you’re supposed to take damage and be killed in the PVP game. If you don’t like it, don’t play PVP games.
i mean support players have a personality type. i KNOW when i enabled a PotG. the satisfaction of that knowledge is enough.
i used to be a stagehand irl, and when i did my job perfectly no one knew i existed.

Like it would be cool if it was called highlight of match instead of potg.
As highlights you can include multiple players so you can show split screen intro of genji ana, then start with ana nade and nanoing genji from third-person and zoom into first person genji slashing and dashing with blade and finishing it.
Would probably be difficult to make i guess but would be cooler.

I hate Dva’s when they get big bombs occasionally especially when you have played well and made plays you know your losing potg to that gamer girl.
It’s an objective based cooperative game, and not just deathmatch, so you’re objectively wrong

I know, I hate deathmatch but that’s what 5v5 is and even with that, those invulns and rez are still unfair and unfun to play against, the only ones who would possibly defend that are abusers of said things.
But hey I guess people here hate OW enough to see it continue to rot and die. Surely Micro$oft isn’t planning to shut it down cause these moron devs won’t just nerf the problems. 5v5 this 6v6 that. Did y’all know it’s not a format issue for 6v6s case and it was just their refusal to nerf the support role due to whining from support players? Astounding but that’s why we’re in today’s mess.
5v5 is still an objective based cooperative gamemode, and not deathmatch, and not the CS:Go mode you seem to want. The game was literally released with mass res as a component.
There is no substantive difference between someone working against you by shooting at you and one working against you by slowing your progress.
