As a support. Can have 17k+ healing but have a trash dps or tank and you lose. Over and over. And then de rank because of them. Fun times.

inb4 the people popping in going “you’re focusing on healing too much as a support!” Whilst the standard ranked gamemode has 2 dpses that should be doing the damage

Healing isn’t everything you can provide to your team.
Bad losing streaks happen but if you’re finding yourself deranking regularly maybe look at your own gameplay.
Because it’s true.

It happens sadly. Supports are expected to buy time for plays via pumping healing into their team while also accounting for their own survivability, while also making their own plays.
If you’re not doing all three, especially making plays on your own at every given opportunity, you’re never going to climb consistently, it’s obnoxious. Worse part is majority of the “plays” supports can make are just things your team has to follow up on to get any value from it, and are rarely things supports can achieve on their own.
Exception being Moira//Lucio/Baptiste etc getting picks.

Probably would have won if you did 18k healing.

It works that way on any role. You can play a perfect game as a DPS or tank and still lose because you had a couple of really bad teammates. Hidden MMR should be players actual ranks and not basing everything on winning and losing.

OW2 is barely a step above 4v4 TDM. Treat it that way and you will have more success.

What happens if the best way to support is by healing?

Its one of the ways you can support sure but if thats the only way you are supporting it shows in rank

yeah if nothing dies and the team is just slurping up resources I DPS moira and end up getting better or equal healing stats than the enemy supports (because I kill them) and better DPS stats than our DPS (because I actually kill things).
DPS can shoot all day into an enemy hog with a huge hitbox because it’s the only thing they can hit while the hog is being double pocketed and hitting hooks.

What if healing is all you needed to do for your team to win?
this is why we should replace the support role with mercy bots

It never is if facing people of equal skill
They should add a healing received just for the Moira players so they can identify the issue even if they have a bazzilion healing done.
So healing more never works?
Just healing doesn’t work. Hope thats cleared up.
I disagree with that but okay.
