If they can’t even get potg. You could be doing so much as a support making sure people is alive but as long as genji swings that sword a couple of times it’s over. Yeah I just saved my whole team with immortality field or slept an ulting target or super jumped to victory, nah let’s give it to the same 6 characters.

No one said widow can’t deserve it. But if ana is super powerful, why is her highlight potg based on kills which is literally the weakest part of her kit? If she slept genji and then topped off rein, that should be equal.
Widow getting a HS for “shutdown” may not have led to the assists mercy did by rezzing and superjumping.
I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve it but I some recognition would be nice. Support players have feelings too.

Dude. We have people who get 4~5 kills and potg goes to a moira using her ult and not killing a single player. And not even healing much either. Just one guy surviving is enough.
This game isn’t exactly a role model for finding best plays to showcase.
We got a lot of bigger problems to deal with. So while the notion of having more accurate play of the games is nice and all, It’s dead last on the to do list.
Mercy and baptiste can get potg pretty handily, especially mercy.

I got shafted by the role Queue beta and it put me in Gold/ Plat, and I constantly get PotG as Ana
I had a really funny one I wish I saved though ;_; Killed someone with Sleep Dart, then got stuck reloading, so meleed them to death with like 5 punches
It’s a joke down there
There should be healing plays. When a healer keeps multiple teammates alive through tons of damage, that play should be considered alongside the multikills.

they can all shoot their guns
false you can get potg for them
I get POTG as Mercy several times a week, idk about y’all…
Mercy POTG is easy. If you’re the Mercy that had just revived said Genji and he turned the fight into your favor with a boosted blade, POTG is Mercy’s not Genji’s.
Supports get their potg mostly by assisting their teammates. So Ana can get potg with a nano boost on Winston (for example) + a well placed biotic grenade combo without fraggin’ out herself; Moira can get potg by a coalescence that keeps Rein/Zarya healed while they go ham; Bap too; Brig too; etc, etc.
There ARE. Valking Mercy play is the best example.
Like I said supports “mostly” get their potg by ASSISTS.
ASSISTS = healing or boosting that RESULT IN ELIMS.
Simply keeping/staying alive doesn’t get you potg. NO ONE gets potg that way.
But honestly… who takes potg seriously?! Potg selctions are always screwy. How often are you convinced what you see after each macth is “THE PLAY” of the game? Maybe your “shutdown” play on Ana was just one of the many good plays in that game and it was just unlucky not getting selected.
