Playing Support In GM Right Now Is Hell

“Playing SUPPORT is Hell~!” There fixed it for you.

Extremely unpopular take but I stand by it after all of these years: Tracer needs a hard rework. Her design, while fun, is unhealthy for the entire game on a fundamental level.

Honestly whichever dev(s) are standing in the way of properly nerfing Sojourn need to just go. They’re beyond incompetent and have caused immense damage.

Widow needs the hp buff reverting at minimum.

They are as dps too…Actually the entire tank class is a chore to play against as dps. The design is just frustrating.

You love to see it :hugs:

When you remove Mei freeze and bash stun (hog and tracer run rampant)

Lol every game has an annoying kiriko as well.
I think you should change the title to “playing the game in gm rn sucks”

Both of these things were happening in OW1.

Mei’s Freeze & Shield Bash were never valid checks to either of these characters.

Maybe not in GM but they absolutely 100% were deterrents/counters to mid rank and lower hogs/tracers

If something is only effective as a ‘counter’ in low rated play it’s not a counter, it’s a crutch.

…I would wonder if I was at the right rank if I was getting ‘pummeled’…? I mean doesn’t rank reflect a players ability to ‘be’ in that rank…? :thinking:

I don’t see it as unpopular.

No. Speed. Buff. It wrecks muscle memory and adjusting mouse sensitivity down by 20% to 30% doesn’t really compensate either, as strafe aiming can’t be compensated for.

True Im sick and tired of this
I played one game today on main and just got put up against widow/sojourn and it was the most unfun experience one could have
I literally felt like wet paper on tank (I mainly play JQ) and I can’t even imagine being a squishie in that match and getting full on oneshotted every time
Its garbage and annoying and I’d rather have double shield/OW 1 back than this

This is just straight up wrong in every way possible rn

OW has the highest skill ceiling of all the other FPS’s
You couldn’t get 4200 even if you tried

How the turns have tabled.

All of your issues are directly caused by 5v5. They could barely balance the game after 6 years with 6v6, 5v5 is an entirely new beast that they’re just starting to learn how to deal with. Hope you grow to love it. :hugs:

Don’t play it in GM then, what’s the problem?

not a mercy problem.

else bap & zen are problems too.

the mechanic itself has problematic interactions is all.

Its had it in past and they have removed that interaction. (was 1st done i believe with hanzo’s dragon + amp & has hit others interactions also)

Called devs need to finally realzie they need to limit what can benefit from amp (also gives reason to use different supports if ur team wouldnt really benefit from amp) and what can’t.

snipers who deal a lot of dmg on own shouldnt benefit from it as they dont need the help.

someone liek S76 on other hand does need it.

also stop letting mechanic doubledip.

let crits not count amp’d modifier. (so u have a normal crit not an amped crit)

I wouldn’t exactly say the highest, since Quake exists, but it’s definetely up there.

Ah, comp game on Monte Carlo with Sojourn and Widow was what made me decide to quit the game competely. Trying to play anything that required me to engage at all with my teammates resulted in immediate death. Much fun. Love these maps that cater to specific heroes, especially when these heroes are near impossible for supports to work around let alone deal with.

Heavily nerf one shots. They have no place in a game like ow

I’m loving this Schrodinger’s Mercy. Simultaneously unable to be played in GM because unsurvivable and pocketing every Sojourn, Widow, and Ashe in these same GM games. No wonder nothing dies, with three supports in games.
