Where are the support players?

I don’t know what Supports you have on your teams but I can hit over 15k in 10 minutes or so.

Maybe people don’t play Support because it’s too hard for them. I mean, you have to pay attention to your Tank, DPS, your other Support, yourself, AND watch out for enemies. Oh yeah, and positioning. Got to make sure we’re positioned right too and have an escape plan.

Right here.

Oh oh oh, time to accelerate!

Weren’t you one of the people saying support would be fine in OW2?

You know that new sound that plays if you try to heal someone who is anti’d? The really loud and annoying one? They should make it play for the anti’d target too. So if they complain about it, you can make them hear that horrible sound too.

(To be clear, I think it’s a good addition. It’s meant to be aversive, and it is.)

But they are fine. Peoples just don’t know how to play with them.

Don’t get mad at players for not wanting to babysit new bronze players when they are ranked Plat.

MM is f’n broken!

Oh, people know how to play them…

Step one, you pick a role which is less frustrating… step two…

Or to put it another way…

They are not queueing, so it is a failed design.

Not playing anymore for the moment because of a lot of decisions Blizzard made that resulted in me not having too much fun.

Support got the least amount of changes.

Tank is new and unexplored and exciting, many DPS got reworks and adjustments and DPS is always popular in every game. Healer is always unpopular in every game and it also go no significant reworks so its just not an attractive choice.

But they aren’t fine… for the people who don’t think they’re fine.

You can’t logic people into finding things fun.

I’ve been playing support pretty much every day and enjoying it. But, honestly, you just demanding that other people queue support to make your queue times go down, without making any attempt to understand why the support queue is empty? It makes me want to sign on and queue tank.

I like to play mercy just to fly and bounce around mindlessly. I’ll just keep a beam on someone while I go do some Tony Hawk air tricks.

Plat support so it’s fine

Less frustrating? I find it way more frustrating to play a tank and get not heal to be honest.

In the new way of playing support there is a big adjustement step to do for positionning.

no ive joined the dps droves, maybe if the next supp is fun

Yeah, position out of the support queue.

What part of flankers being a problem, and they move past cover don’t you understand?

Again, If the supports are not queuing you have a problem… And it isn’t a problem you can blame them out of.

The thing with support is that they ask for more game sense. You have to be able to use their utility, their heal, their dmg and master their positionning.

But overall they have a very strong carry potential now only because of the passive health regen.

You can’t argue fun into a role. People are not finding them fun, it doesn’t matter how strong they are if they are not fun…

I’ve gone from Mercy main to Torbjorn main and I’m having an okay time. I win a lot more than I thought I would, but it’s just… not as fun as OW Mercy to me.

More than half the support roster have good tools to deal against flankers, with having two of the best anti flankers (brig and moira)

Leave the backline a bit will ya?

No, I won’t, since I exist in their backline, since I moved to Sombra :slight_smile:

Do you know what I don’t have to deal with as Sombra? Genji and Sombra :slight_smile:
