Support is the easiest role

I do not get the idea that SUPPORT is difficult. Most SUPPORT has the ability to heal/Escape by themselves and and to maintain healing/Escape without another healer since they can manage to gain a health pack and have the highest amount of utility in the game. If you think SUPPORT is not easy, you are delusional on many levels and if you comment that SUPPORT is not easy you are just as delusional.

Personally I find support the most relaxing role, dps the most stressful and sweaty and tank the most annoying and tilting.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Support is most stress free to me.

Healing in general is easy because for most supports you can’t miss.

As long as I am healing, I don’t get blamed.

Even if someone cries “why I get no heals” I can just say “I was healing someone else” and they unusually get off my back.

If I keep getting killed constantly, I can just blame my team for “not protecting me.” They get off my back unless I am visibly, WILDLY out of position, like at enemy spawn door or something.

I’ve never been called a bad healer, not once. I think you have to be hard pocketing your duo buddy to be called a bad healer.

DPS, well you know how it is, usually the first to blame.

Tanks (main tanks), you get blamed when people start understanding MTD, but it’s a stressful role even without teammate blaming.

While I wouldn’t flat out say support is easiest, it is the most stress free.

I’m not sure I would call Support being stress free. But it is certainly one of the easiest roles in the game (the other being Tanking, but it’s a little more nuanced than that). Healing doesn’t require much aiming - if at all - and you get so much return out of it. Further, every Support has some form of self-healing and tends to be rather evasive or has a smaller than average hitbox (some exceptions apply).

It’s not hard to heal, overall. Why so many struggle with it, I can’t really say, other than not having the right mind set for the role, or simply lack of basic attention.

It might be less stressful… but it also the one role that feels like it has more difficulty having an impact on the overall outcome… i.e. turn win into loss and vice versa…

This is the unwritten rule of Overwatch.

As a person with my highest SR being on support, I agree. DPS is probably more difficult in general.
