Stop blaming or telling your supports to swap when YOU can’t get kills as a dps or when YOU can’t create space as a tank. Supports are not there to play the hero with the most healing and shove their bullets, flowers or whatever they shoot out up your rear. YOU need to outplay their dps/tank it’s not our job to carry you.

exactly, i swear some people have never played casual sports before.
you all wanna win, but have a couple softball beer. i dont think i have ever seen a bad (in this context softball game)
Lol, they might actually carry your a** if you just switch, that’s all they ask. You can act like you did in case if you actually carry with your character. But you say you are not here to carry, then flex for those who might do. Supports and Tanks are the carry role in this game, definitely not dps - the weakest role in ow2. Asking to switch is not blaming, but refusing to interact in this way may cause the blaming, so you are a part of the issue. Or at least say “Sorry I am onetrick, I have no experience in playing any other hero” - they will lose interest in blaming most of the time.

Tell me you do not understand one bit about the game without it telling me.
Mama Mia! Some of you are truly hilarious. There are too many situations to count when swapping supports is essential. Only reason basically ever to swap a dps is if you are mega countered or just suck on the hero. They generally do not have generic advantages like playing anti nade in too hog and maug. Or you know just playing the highest hp/s and sustain combo cause it just allows you to survive longer and crazy enough win fights.

On paper. Yes.
In reality, it’s just a game. If they don’t so be it. No need to get annoyed with people for it.

No… swapping dps heros is way more essential than swapping supports. If a dps on your team is going 3-7 it’s not the supports fault it’s the dps.

you can support your dps as best as you can but, you can’t make them hit their targets. It is the dps job to hit their targets.

they dont though. They play dps healer
yea you’re trolling at this point. You’re just a dps main and it shows.
No sorry the way the game is structured tanks and supports have a much bigger impact on the overall success and stats of the team.

if supports dont use the tools in the game (ie voice chat) and they are dying or not sticking with the team. Is it not their fault?

When not starting threads about people talking to you, you go into other threads and beg people to talk to you.
My man, you don’t need comms. You need friends.

Supports have way more utility including best get out of jail free cards, easy to “aim” abilities than most heroes. So… I’d say you’re in the best position to do most of the leg work.

eeeeh IDK I think all 3 roles have enough diversity that some one could say that for any role. tracer can recall or blink out, genji could dash or climb over buildings to escape and deflect half the damage in the game reaper can immortality himself or tele out I mean you can do this with half of all heros in OW.
Supports usually have the same/equal to escape potential as a DPS has to dive and whether that support has an ability to fight back with is always a 50/50 cuz most of our abilities (like imortality field, nade, pylon) are gonna be on high cool downs (like 12s or some cr*p)… Most support actual DMG per sec is like <80 not counting combo dmg or crits… we kiiiinda make up that difference some times with some minor self healing some times depending on the hero but most DPS have 1 shot potential or 120+ dmg per sec so I think it’s fair
Im not an OW expert but i personally liked OW better when max HP was 200 and everyone had KO potential and targets actually died tho… 250 HP is so forgiving
There. I bolded the big cause of most DPS players who scream at the supports.
Second cause is mostly tanks who either don’t create space or who suicide.
Except any dps can shine with proper supports and tanks. The same is not true for dps. They’ll get shut down if the enemy supports and tanks are better.
Slight Correction. Its designed for busine$$…
