Oh DPS have always been the punching bag. The whole “nothing is dying” is always blamed on them. it was SO BAD that even a Developer had to make an official post about it.
Why are damage role players getting unfairly blamed for losses?
Now that the team composition is not an easy reason to blame for a team’s loss, I’ve seen community feedback and even players in my own games feel that they’re losing because no one on the enemy team is dying. They then blame the players in the damage role. Everybody should always remember that Overwatch is a team game, and everyone is responsible for the team’s success. Losing a game doesn’t mean that your team necessarily played particularly poorly, it might just mean that the other team played particularly well that game. Winning or losing often comes down to who made one more big play.
If you’re trying to improve your level of play over time, blaming a teammate for a loss doesn’t help. Instead ask yourself if there is a lesson you can take away from the match (win or loss) that will help you improve in the next one. Similarly, before a game starts think about what aspect of the game you can work towards improving.
