Like tbh we cant run dual off heals 25-8 and expect to do well but with the way blizzard has the play style set no one wants to play ana to be a sitting duck kiriko is a better bap moria is trashed completely no one wants to play main heals so its not going to happen
“Lol, support mad they can’t just be a hEaLboT anymore in 5v5, gitgut”
“Why healer don’t heal anymore”
Pick a freaking lane, DPS!

I have experienced the same thing. I think in a game where each persons individual contributions matter more, we are all getting our bad habits a little exposed.
I see tanks completely ignore a threat behind them when they could easily collapse around the threat and get an easy pick. If it’s behind them, not their problem.
DPS will play passively expecting tanks to steam roll the way thru for them, or hyper aggressively, expecting support that no longer exists.
And yes, heals have been horrible. Heals will be so far up your tanks rear end they will have no idea half the team is behind them and dying. And if you call them out, it is not their problem. They are busy.
Personally, I see healers becoming the new tanks. Synergy matters so much that you lose at the start screen. Or two off healer one tricks are in the same lobby. And the finer points of healing, like tanking, are so nebulous and hard to understand inside the confines of the game that it is impossible for them to understand when they are doing something wrong, and it wont really be their fault for not getting it either.
Get ready for OW 3 to be 1 tank 2 dps and 1 healer.

Look, if the tank dies, the fight is almost always lost. You can win without the tank if you have enough ults, but it’s hard. Supports are also dealing with significant changes in how they have to move and position themselves because they no longer have a second tank to insulate them from the enemy team. People are learning; cut them some slack.
Re: Moira, she’s absolutely supposed to be getting flank kills. The backline has less defenses than before, and Moira still has the best escape ability in the game and really good kill-finishing potential. What she doesn’t have is any way to keep her team alive or enable them besides healing, so instead she does so by taking out threats, drawing attention, and surviving.
the entire comp is broken, half the roster is unusable (either by chance of it being locked or because the balance is awful anyway) and its impossible to get elims anymore, healers are overtuned, Tanks are invincible, dps barely does any dmg anymore except for certain (all the new characters)
comp is dead, game is going next with it, i give it a month.
i heal everyone but if tank goes down the team gets snowballed most of the time.
Tank gets priority for me if everyone is dying, but I think 75% of the time I get the “I need healing” spam from an angry DPS they’re either hitting the button after both supports have already died or there are 6 walls and 4 enemies between them and the nearest support.
Let me play with your healers, I don’t get healed at all when I play tank.
I’d like to chalk it up to new players, but who knows.
@ Moira, that would be true if she wasn’t also consistently doing the most heals in the game in addition to damage and kills. It’s a little absurd right now.
Yep it’s almost like it was beneficial having 2 tanks in case one goes down…,

I don’t know what games you’re playing but in my games it’s literally blindly ignore absolutely everything to kill the support meta.
Moira literally doesn’t do anything else besides damage and heal, though, and her damage is often unfocused. She should have high numbers on both because she can’t provide any utility of any kind to her teammates. No boops, no speed, no heal amp, no anti-heal, no overhealth, no form of damage or death resist, no way to cancel enemy abilities, no damage amp, no cleanse, nothing. Literally just healing, damage, and a powerful escape for herself. So she needs to be doing a lot of healing and damage numbers, otherwise she can’t realistically hope to compete with other supports.
what do you expect when one tank is the only thing keeping your team alive
