You play two times as much to make half the damage a tank can make, and to have half the impact a support has on a match, and to have half the fun while playing the game.
And if you’re not playing Sojourn or Tracer, your existence is meaningless.
Playing Sym on this economy? You’re setting yourself for failure

Utility dps has struggled for a very long time. The only thing that matters now is burst damage.

Tanks damage is inflated because hald the time theyre just shooting the other tank.
Dps role isnt about oure damage numbers, its about finishing and securing kills.
Supports have been the top role for most of OW2

Something that a tank and a support can do easier, I’ve finished off more players as a kiriko or dva than I’ve as a Tracer or as a Sojourn, the gap is huge.
DPS are just as capable of securing kills.
Dps playwrs juat babied themselves into believing they dont matter because they can’t 1 tap everything anymore.

And yet, somehow, we can’t move for DPS, while tank players are far and few between.
With impact comes the responsibility and pressure to do well, and only a minority sign up to play a video game for that. If that’s what you’re looking for then go ahead and queue up for it, but given that DPS are already very popular, well… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Because people don’t like to heal and don’t like to get the blame, so they won’t play Support or tank, even though they are stronger
And if you increase the impact of DPS then they’ll start getting the blame, too.
If you’re having half the fun as a DPS than you are as a tank or support then… don’t play DPS. It’s fine because there’s no shortage of people who will play DPS as things stand.
If it was harder/worse to play DPS then tank we wouldn’t be in a 1-2-2 format but a 2-1-2 instead.
Suck it up DPS, and play the game you wanted.

That’s kinda what I was going for but in a much stronger way.

So, let me get this straigh, both of you, when faced with a issue that a lot of people on this community are facing, your responde is “get gud lol”
I’m not even a DPS main, this is just a issue that I saw while playing as a DPS, it isn’t as fun as playing Tank or Support. I could do more as an Ana or as a Kiriko then as a Hanzo or Soldier for example.
Hitscan burst damage.
These also happen to be two of the weakest DPS right now.
I cant do much with any of those characters. now torb bastion, lucio juno. theres a set i can work with
No? I never said “git gud”. I’m saying that given that there are a million DPS players out there, that the role’s relative level of impact isn’t an issue. So instead of trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, it makes more sense that you yourself select a role that has the impact you’re looking for.
Skill doesn’t come into it at all.
Is this another post encouraging me to idle as dps and do nothing because the role offers nothing? say less!

So you are just going to ignore everything that I said? Ok.
I said something that thousands of dps players are saying and yet I’m the one making stuff up.
I said “A” and you made up an entire scenerio to justify the fact that I’m wrong, so If we are just making stuff up, why bother responding to me?
I could bring zero value as a dps to the table and I’d still have fun. Miss 80% of my shots on widow but the 4 headshots I got were so fun. 
As a DPS, you have more options on applying pressure to the enemy team so even if you don’t get elims, you can still contribute to the team fight.

What scenario am I making up here? It’s a pretty uncontroversial opinion/experience that there are a lot of people queuing up to play DPS and not nearly as many queuing up to play tank.
Thousands of DPS players can say it until they’re blue in the face, but until they stop queuing up in such numbers, their actions speak louder than their words.

Can’t really count Sym mains as dps, they’re a meme, like the Mercy mains of the dps role.
