Supports should be able to have a chance against dps

Imagine a tank player saying we don’t need tank busters we just need rein busters.

Nah, anti flank is a necessary sub role.

He is a bottom 10 pick in metal ranks and in bronze bottom 5.

You really think genji and doom are that problematic that you need to f up already bottom picks?

We need a tracer solution, we can’t make weak heroes more weak unless… you are ready to buff genji doom.

I dont get the problem - flankers flank, so do what you usually do and…shoot her? Just stay out of stun range? If she hits you with a whip, that’s your fault.

exhibit a : this entire thread

Yes exactly the thing is Briggite torbjorn can deny tracer but currently rush is meta so they do counter just tracer but then lose the team fights because they aren’t running bap lucio.

I’m glad we cleared that up. This thread exists for a reason, stop denying that and join in the discussion.

How quickly we forget why they are in that state.

Dive genji was insane

Release doomfist was insane and then there was that oh so brief period where he was meta and super obnoxious.

Just because they got nerfed alot doesn’t mean that role doesn’t need filled still. Its like saying pharah is trahs why so many hitscan? Answer because hitscan is fun.

Denying flankers is fun.

That is obviously true, but most support players are biased and want to have an easy time against dps here and want free win buttons. Bap ain’t even a support hes just a dps that heals and make people unkillable.

Sure, then what happened? we got Brig.

I don’t know where you are going with this, you are talking about the game with no counters and saying it’s the same when we have counters and the game has been changed drastically over time, I still don’t get how Brig is going to magically solve a problem if we buff her, I really don’t see how this is in anyway going to help more than hurting the balance.

The only way it could help is if you are selfish and want an easy way to just delete flankers as support, and it’s just because you don’t want to try, because every single support in the game other than Zen can peel for the other support or for themselves, requires skill, but so is going to the back lines in a risky play and getting a pick, you can always get help from your team which will make the fight a 6v5 in your favor, or you could switch to a hero which is better against flankers like Brig, but that hero should never be the easy way out, just give you the advantage, and Brig currently does that.

If you really wanted to talk you should’ve mentioned that your argument is “hero x killed me pls I hate hero x now I want hero x counter that counters hero x no matter how trash I play”

support players who think like that are most definitely delusional, if supports were better than dps at damage then there really is no use for dps at all.

Genji was good for 1 year.

Doom was good for 3 months total in the game’s life.

Brig was good for 3 years.

Okaaay dude

Do they start saying it after 20 comments? Because I’m 20 comments deep and so far this thread that is supposedly entirely people backing up your argument haven’t backed up your argument once.

Yes it does, to create a strawman to beat like a dead horse.

Fun fact: if you look up tribalism in the dictionary you get a picture of the OW forums.

Zen, Bap and Lúcio say hello. There is also a Reason why goats was and would still be a thing if role lock wasnt here, cause DPS heroes lack the same impact supports and tank have and thr moment one of them come out and shine they get nerfed.

It’s also because they are bad picks and have been for a long time not just for “they got nerfed a lot”

I am not the one saying we need specific tracer counters.

My point was anti flankers are a necessary sub role in this game.

Are we back to the old “Bap is better than soldier” argument here? Soldier has 1 job and he’s better than Bap at it.
Bap has 2 jobs and has to split time between the 2. While he’s healing, he’s not damaging.

There’s not a single support that’s better at damage than a damage hero, plus they dont have time to damage because of healing.

Sure only if you’re ok with buffing genji doom then since you’ll be killing dead heroes again.
