This support meta is unfun and garbage, its making the game worse and more unenjoyable than it already is, these devs need to get a grip on these horrific heroes and actually balance them rather than going russian roulette every season to choose a character to buff and nerf, my god playing this game is worse than being tortured.

They did actually make a claim and provide an explanation. There is no evidence included, but given everyone and their grandmotherâs cat are making a âwhy tanking sucks/5v5 is worseâ video, I would argue it is relatively self evident.
I do not entirely agree with him, but this meta does lowkey suck. Just when I was getting back into playing the game, too!

Whereâs the explanation of why the support mega is supposedly unfun. All I can see that itâs simply a skill issue since thereâs no support right now thatâs absolutely dominating the game unlike how thereâs a DPS dominating (bastion) and two tanks dominating (orisa and zarya)

If Iâm tanking, that means there probably wonât be someone attentive like me on support.
Thatâs why I donât tank. But when I do, itâs very much the most fun I have.
If anything, this BP Iâve found more DPS are playing support. So the heals are thinner than they should be. Which doesnât seem like great way to get heals nerfed
But at this pace, the damage might get bumped down again.

Bap, Kiriko and The new girl are all great additions to the DPS roster⌠why would we want them nerfed?
I mean if you come into a discussion forums expecting an echo chamber⌠then dont come into a discussion forums in the first place?
This forum seem toxic. Saying someone post is trash without discussing the game and you put the cape on for them.

The ironic thing is supports have dictated every meta in the game lol. Brig stood out the most because she was the most annoying one. All supports have had a ton of times to shine, from mercy to zen to ana and now bap/illari etc. wont be long before even lifeweaver gets his own meta

wouldnt call it a support meta but even the devs say there to strong lmfao(Developer Comment: Support heroes have received individual improvements to their survivability and are quite strong overall, so weâre reducing the impact of the role-wide passive.).
most of the support roster is 0 effort and have huge impact. Zen orb 0 effort,ana nade 0 effort, illari turret 0 effort,kiriko suzu 0 effort etc etc u can can go on and on. not to mention theres way to much healing at the moment ive had games where nothing dies first point for like 2 min lmfao. They really need to hit every support at the end of season tbh at the moment tank is miserable. and some of the supports are literally dps that self heal so why ever queue dps if u can go support have same impact and not worry about needing supports.
Disagreeing with you is not being toxic, no matter how much someone doesnt sugarcoat a post.

I just played a game as Soldier, solo ulted the enemy Soldier and their supports (Mercy & Ana, not even that high a healing duo), even without an Ana nade, outhealed my damage without any issues. And Iâm not saying his HP dropped slowly. His HP didnât drop, for a moment I thought my game bugged. I needed my Rein to charge the guy. Imagine Ana/Illari, Ana/BapâŚ
I know, I know, skill issue, focus supports blah blah, but playing the game as a DPS 100% focused around enemy supports makes you feel so damn powerless itâs insane. I always play one or two DPS games to warm up before playing support and every single time, unless you play burst damage like Ashe or Widow, you just feel like youâre not even there.
It could just be me, after all I always liked playing support, but playing any DPS other than burst this time around is soul-numbing. There is only one objective in the game now and thatâs to kill the supports. Itâs boring.
Anyway, Imma queue support and have fun

Does someone have to tell you that you not entitled a free win just because you pressed Q in a 3v1. Like, do you even hear yourself?
ââ3 heroes healing one didnt die to my single button pressââ
Tactical Visor isnt even an ultimate you use for output to punch through healing. Its used to deal with mobile or flying targets, not to try to punch through the efforts of 3 players with a free kill aimbot.
I swear, keeping Soldier this overpowered has rotten yâall brains or something.

Mercy and Ana are three heroes? Damn. That sounds like a problem.
You can talk about it being a skill issue or whatever all day, doesnât change the fact that itâs not much fun, at least not for me 
I mean really thatâs all my post saying. No idea why youâre getting so worked up.

Soldier is also capable of healing himself in case you missed it. Which was buffed and is only 10 healing shy from healing the same that Mercyâs beam does.
You are not entitled to have a fun free win for pressing Q in a 3v1.

He is but in my example he didnât use it. So whatâs the relevance?
Never said I was, just said itâs not fun to me. Why are you being weird?
For what itâs worth, we won that game, donât know how thatâs relevant to anything, though. Youâre just being odd.

The irony of this post is astounding 
Agreed. Supports are easily the strongest role in the game right now by far, and queue times show this quite clearly when they have the longest queue times, and this was even before Illari was introduced.
I remember when DPS kept complaining about queue times and support was almost as fast as tank consistently. Now we have complaints of over healing and a single tank. Maybe the team shouldnât balance around a bunch of forum complainers.

Agree.
Nothing dies, itâs like double barrier meta except at that time you could play around them with some hero, now you canât escape the ridiculous amounts of healing
