Then dps shouldn’t get health packs, recalls, cryofreezes, biotic fields or reaper damage-heals then right? Makes sense if theres no double-standard.
Yea no. Everyone in Overwatch can dps.
This hypocrisy wouldn’t even be worth attention if dev updates didn’t conclude reducing Brigs dmg makes her more of a “support…” when we have Zenyatta and Moira
As a QP Commando, I often find myself in situations where im being creamed on Mercy cause my team is shooting up the sky and buildings but leaving the enemy unharmed.
In those situations I go Moira, so I can roast the Genji/Tracer myself and resume healing. But in comp, well I wouldnt know
Of every hero you mentioned, not one of them has a one-shot-combo that requires a mere face roll to pull off. Nor can any of them deal damage + heal consistently - except Zen, but that’s his gimmick - and none of them can peel for their team reliably either.
It does make sense, because there is no double-standard.
At least, not in this regard. Shield penetration is still questionable though.
It’s not just that she can dps like Zen and Moira, it’s that she can heal, dps, and tank all fairly well. The level of Swiss Army utility there is kind of silly. I think nerfing her bash damage to the point of irrelevance was kind of silly, but she also shouldn’t be so strong a dps while also being such a good tank.
DPS can heal as long he don’t replace healer, support can do as long they don’t replace dps, Brigitte shouldn’t be able to replace burst dps, Brigitte shouldn’t be able to burst dps down.
Dps means Damage-per-second. If you can even do 1 dmg, you can output dps. Keep dreaming Reinhardt cant wipe with a fat shatter if it floats your boat tho.
I sort of agree with you. But as someone who mains nearly all low-aim requirement heroes I can tell you Blizzard has made it possible for us aim-challanged to DPS lol
Also, Ana has to forfeit 100% of her utility (excluding Ult) to do that. Brig still has her consistent AoE heals and her Repair pack. Not to mention that Brig sets her combo up with an instant almost unmissable cone stun. Ana sets hers up with one of the slowest projectiles in the game that has a small hitbox and a wind-up time.
Yes, that’s enough. Especially since that is fulfilling the purpose of those abilities so she isn’t sacrficing anything.
More than 50% of Tracer’s effective range is an insta-kill zone? And that’s ok?
If Moira wants to consistently damage she has to sacrifice healing. If she taps her heal spray and then damages until the heal needs renewed, then that is not consistent damage. If she’s just tossing an Orb and hold right click, then she’s sacrificing a lot of value.
Exactly. It’s not OK for a heroes’ gimmick to be reliable healing + burst healing + armour + consistent damage and peeling.
It’s not a fact. Every seen GOATS comp? None of them are dps but still get kills… and win majority games… How if they aren’t dpsing by your standards are they getting eliminations…
Could you take a moment to kinda summarize where you’re at? Im losing you. You started with Supports Shouldnt DPS, now you’re on anyone can get kills which seems a bit contradictory.
The post says “if there isn’t a double standard” meaning that it’s sarcastic. If “supports shouldn’t dps” then “dps shouldn’t heal” but we all know they can, so it means supports can dps.
