Just asking with all Moira hate, even though she is not good she has an escape vs tracer sombra genji and doom and how good they are is why people choose to use Moira, not because she is good but because as a solo like most are there is literally no choice if nobody peels.
Time for a sprint button?
Only 2 support can’t move. Zen and Ana. And both of them still have something to deal with unwanted hugs.
Everyone else uses their legs (or something else) to eject from an unwanted situation.
So no, probably not. They were probably designed that way for a reason.
Whether a support has an escape depends on how much power the devs want in their kit. Since movement is so powerful, you can justify having two near-ult abilities as normal cd’s on Ana as that forces players to adapt to her presence by diving her. If counterswapping wasn’t a thing, Ana’s design would be untenable. With counterswapping, the devs are allowed to design around higher swings in power as long as they balance it out in some way such as having exploitable weaknesses.
Only 2 supports can escape if ask me Moira and Weaver, Moira can fade and heal orb Weaver can dash and petal, the rest of them vs a good dive can stay a live a second or two longer but cant escape.
Mercy couldn’t. Id trade rez just for ability to Ga to the enemy
It’s not always “escape”, some are designed to stand their ground and fight. All supports have their own ways to deal with enemies, many can escape, Zenyatta can fight, some have self-sustain, some supports have 2 of these methods.
In my opinion, not all supports need an escape ability, but all of them need something for themselves - all supports should be able to be independent, to some degree.*
(*Mercy is a problem. She has an excellent escaping ability, but only as long as there are allies. That can just be her design, but it does make her dependant on others.)
A support that depends purely on fighting would sound cool but it would just be an excuse to add another DPS with a healer label
She uses her wings? She gets out pretty easily, you just have to think ahead of the people trying to eat you. Which is fun right now.
I will not argue, it is fun
I get they were designed that way but with the big season 9 patch tracer has become twice as easy to use same with all the dives.
As a solo player like most are escaping from death is impossible without peel unless on Moira or Weaver (whos kit is so clunky nobody touches him).
Are you new? She cant use ga (wings) if no teammates (or their fading souls) around
Kiri; Can tp across a quarter-ish of the map, plus immune to help with the before or after if it’s that bad.
Illao; Has the spin jump, which is a push back as well. And she can push back to her heals if things are set right, giving her more time/room to stand.
Lucio; I don’t think I need to explain. He moves. A lot.
Bap; Jump + immune field. Probably don’t need to say that either with as popular as he is/has been.
Mercy; Just has to look where she wants to go (with someone friendly there) the trick is to know that genji has 2 seconds on dash and is ready to use it I better go over this way now
Brig; Has the only shield on support. She can’t run away like the rest, but she can stand longer if you shield right. That’s why she’s not great right now unless your team comp is ready for it. And shield dash isn’t horrible (just wish the shield worked while you were charging with it fun fact you can shoot through it when she’s dashing with it makes zero sense.)
would be cool to see a support that can grab energy from being shot and use it for healing
I’m bad with Ana because I can’t get away lol
An escape would make her kit way too powerful
If that happens, you are not a good Mercy. I’ll just rip that bandaid now.
Some kind of mistake was made.
Being last alive is okay-ish. It means they didn’t want to chase you (probably)
Everything you said there, if I am playing dps kiko doesnt get away you see the direction she fades and you finish her, llari jumps 2 metres away and still dies, Lucio just gets shot and killed, Bap might survive a few seconds longer, brig gets slapped they cant escape only prolong the death sentence.
That is perhaps why I find her insanely uncomfortable myself. I used to one trick Zen, but it’s different because you can just kill the flanker yourself. I guess you could with Ana. Or at least a good Ana could. I am not a good Ana.
Yes, a big key to being a successful support is knowing what is around you at all times. Friendly, foe, wall, healthpack. Whatever
I know how to draw from their strengths. It’s on you if you want change your gameplay to do it.
I’m tired of meta, so I’ll keep doing my thing.
Ok, you’re new. Try rialto mercy parkour custom game to get understanding how ga works
Didn’t ask
A good kiriko is literally nearly impossible to kill before her teammates without a one-shot. Her teleport has i-frames.
