Why DPS always get the blame

You are going to have to read the post again mate because you are clearly not getting it. The whole point is that DPS get the blame for “nothing is dying” , like getting picks and winning fights (BOTH, not just the latter) is a DPS only task. The Developer proves it wrong, just like reality does:
DPS are not doing 100% of the damage of the team, they barely get 55%.

Its not a strawman at all, not twisting anything so you should stop trying to throw fallacies to refute my statement because ironically, thats another fallacy : Ad hominem.

Read the post again pal. This is the literal sentence:
“They feel that they’re losing because no one on the enemy team is dying . They then blame the players in the damage role.”

Yep agree the post is about people blaming DPS for “nothing is dying”.
That isn’t the opposite to

"DPS simply need quick top ups so they can stay active.

With this attitude, no wonder your DPS perform poorly."

Which is what you replied to.
Didn’t see the statement you replied as blaming DPS and more saying it’s a team game. This is why you saying that the dev says the opposite is creating a strawman because dev’s didn’t talk about what healers should be doing or game balance.

You can make presumptions about that sure but that’s what you are saying not what someone else and hence why when you present your presumption as what someone else is saying is strawmaning.

As for …

Talking about strawmans:
When did I say that if X doesn’t contribute to a team fight you will win?

You didn’t. Don’t know why you thought I was replying to something you didn’t write.

Also, don’t know what me saying I don’t understand your point was which those facts has to do with strawmen or w/e. Unless your saying, I’m making strawman of myself with my own opinion or why I’d do that?. err. little confused on that?

@Hyphen-21921

I am saying you can still HEAL people (win or not) and you can still TANK (win or not) but DPS rely A LOT on the other roles.

I did get that in the post, thank you for rewriting what you wrote I did read it.
Like I said I don’t understand your point with this.

I don’t get how the 2 relate.
Are you saying you don’t need DPS to play heal or tank…
Cause if you do… if as a healer I don’t have DPS as options to heal or support I’m gonna lose vs a team that does.
Or if as a tank if I make space without DPS vs a tank that makes space with their DPS I’ll lose.
(I’ll clarify before you go on … I don’t know what your point is and your not being clear at least from my point of view)

My opinion is this every role is dependent on every role to say one role isn’t, in my opinion, is shifting blame and go contray to when a dev say this…

@ScottMercer

If you’re trying to improve your level of play over time, blaming a teammate for a loss doesn’t help.

I think the mentally, that dps is the only role that is dependent on other roles is toxic because you are just shifting blame to other roles and not moving towards min-maxing your own play style while making the most with the team you have.

Like saying.

@Hyphen-21921

90% of the matches are lost by “Tank diff”.

So tank gets 90% of the blame if you lose … because you can only win in 10% of games where there isn’t a tank dif?
That’s toxic as hell in my opinion.

It’s a 6v6 game everyone relies on each other I don’t see the dev post as saying dps are blameless but they have the same responsibility as the rest of the team and people are blaming them for their mistakes or their lack of ability to make plays isn’t the correct way to improve or win.
