I mean, you could try healing them faster? Otherwise, I would just shoot at the Pharah myself.
It’s only annoying when i’m literally hitting 80% of my shots as Ana, we are grouped up and pushing, our tanks creating space perfectly, we are fighting on point but the things won’t die… We even asked our DPS who to focus but ofc they won’t talk… Our Widow couldn’t hit sh#t, our flanker was just spamming damage to the enemy tanks or idk what he was doing… And after all of this i get the blame if start DPSing as Ana and yeah i’ll die but at least i got 2 kills which should have been your job as a DPS…
People probably also get biased bc of some smurfs. 
Like, our genji is so bad… My last genji had 4kills each fight alone without support.
So our genji must be throwing…
Can get really bad aswell when roles refuse to counter pick at all.
Nah, I have smurfed and hard carried while still getting blamed despite us being in the lead. It is just them looking for a scapegoat.

Sigma: His shield is 900 HP, If I wanted to break it as widow I’d need to do like 7-8 fully charged shots which is about 8ish seconds. I could also grapple away to another location, however the usual scenario is I grapple hook to high ground, Sigma puts shield in front of me and I can’t relocate fully for another 12 seconds. When I do move, he then puts his shield in front of me again. In most cases Sigma is played as an off-tank and the team is still protected without his shield. He can shut down a widow by barely paying any attention to her.
Winston: Sure his engage is 100% all in but it’s not punishable the majority of the time as most widow players aren’t group around their team. Same with my above example if I grapple to high ground and winston jumps me I have to wait 12 seconds before I can get away from him. If he jumps me when I have grapple on CD I can move and he can chase me again in less than 6 seconds so my only option is to grapple back to my team where I can only put in a little bit of support.
Dva: Like you said, same as above except even faster chase.
Hammond: You agreed with me.
If an enemy team picks widow you only need 1 person to jump her to stop her doing anything, with her cooldowns you don’t even need to focus on doing it.
DPS can do plenty, otherwise my soldier wouldn’t have kept whining about how their soldier was better than him and wouldn’t let him do anything, even with a pocket.
Many dps do have utility. Sym tele, Mei wall, and those are the ones that work for the team alone. a good majority of DPS have a lot more mobility than the average tank and the benefit of a smaller hit box.
If tanks are pushing as they should, and supports are there with them, and all 4 players see that in spite of this, enemy ana or mercy hasn’t died once, and the death of the enemy reinhardt wasn’t capitalized off of…then yeah. DPS didn’t do their job to its best extent at their rank.
Don’t act like people don’t call out bad support players and bad tanks- they do. They also call out “bad” tanks/supports when the tanks/supports are doing fine, but they want to point the finger. “mercy isn’t healing me,” when it’s plainly not true or they were completely out of my reach. “Reinhardt is off on his own,” No, you weren’t grouped up, he had zarya and a healer behind him and he was pushing.
Saying “Dps isn’t doing anything,” Is a call to action midgame, to switch up how you’re playing or to swap heroes so that you can do something.
If I’m Lucio, Brig, or Zen and I have gold or silver elims, I might think that.
no offense op but you should probably learn to play better dps heroes besides sombra and tracer in comp
it would help a lot
Not true bad tanks always blame dps but can’t figure out how to make space and that it is actually their own fault.
It is not hard to get gold elims on any of those 3,
I play Zarya lol. Haven’t played dps in comp in over a month. I think you’re looking at my QP stats…
Thats what I mean, it’s not impossible but the amount of abilities that keep you alive when you should die just makes DPSing harder than it was a year or two ago, now DPS need their teams support more than ever.
I’ve read your posts and honestly I agree with this

The mentality here is all wrong, and it is one of the major problem of players in this game.
This is a FPS. NOT a MOBA. (or a MMORPG for that matter)
ALL HEROS should be killing and bring aggression. If tanks are just “tanking”, then it means they are not creating the space for DPS to do their job.
Many times I see the dps being blamed, when it is the Tanks not doing this, or even the support not healing positioning correctly and doing meaningful heals.
Think about this: I can guarantee you one thing. The team who has ALL their heros contributing to aggression and kills VS the team that thinks only the DPS should be the one killing, the first team will always win.

Is that why DPS is picked more than tank and support combined? Because people just love playing heroes that “can’t do anything”?
What utter nonsense.

Because tanks and supports are deciding metas, but not outcome of the game.
I am not aggressive in FPS, what’s wrong with me?
I’m simply saying they need the other roles to perform at their best. Yet when tanks/supports under perform they never seem to get anywhere near the blame that dps get. It’s tank/support that people seem to think can’t do anything which I find nonsense.
We literally spent a year in a meta of 3-tanks/3-supports. The whole game had to be upended to make people play DPS.
