You’re a bad support

People are so focused on everybody’s gameplay except their own.

why do comments like this even exist

it’s an obvious strawman to farm likes, and if you actually believe what you typed, jesus christ that is not the point OP was making

I don’t disagree with this, just adding a little caveat here:

If they are being hard-focused, I will need to pocket them so they don’t die. I will also balance between healing someone else a bit and then go back to healing the tank. If I have a low health DPS or a low health tank, my priority will be the tank since they are needed to create space. :grimacing: I have been yelled at for not healing the Cass who was missing 50 health tops vs. focusing heals on the Ram who was staying in critical despite me constantly healing them as Ana.

For Sombra specifically, be careful - your healing might give them away if they are stealthed!

Truth bombs and OP reads as someone who thinks its always the other teammates fault when they lose (but the twist is its actually them :man_shrugging:).

People could avoid taking unnecessary damage this would be avoided. Rank doesn’t factor into this because every rank does this.

Why are low skilled players matched with GMs and Masters?

My biggest gripe as a healer, especially when that teammate is spamming the heal me alert. I turn my back to heal them and boom…headshot from a sniper. That or the tank dies.

I’m sorry your healers feed me so well, but I have like 13 more elims than you and the other DPS because I am a big silly ball and my presence on the battlefield grants victory and has for years.

Good luck trying to teach people the game.

Supports performace that came with f2p ow2 is one of the factors that destroyed the comp gamemode. Too many noobs thinking supports is something you queue when you want to turn your brain off and get carried.

On the forums here you will only find them telling each other that they’re not the problem. They saw a noob dps feed once and ask for heals. Now they think they are immune to criticism.

EDIT: Look at cope like this

They will never learn the game. They will demand the game to be played in a way so they don’t have to put in the effort. In a working MM system they would be bronze with their entitlement of having teammates play the game for them.

Every mentally afk support will tell you immediately to “stop going in alone” while they are in backline healing full hp tanks, instead of doing their job and supporting DPS/position for next teamfight.

I play support myself. There are times you are healing bots and they can’t hit anything. You have to dps to have a chance to win.

This has nothing to do with supports that play like silvers from the first second, pocketing tanks, oblivious to their dps.

Look at people like this. They force their laziness onto people. This dude saying DPS needs to walk back to backline to get healed by a mercy. Instead of mercies supporting their DPS setting up a play.

Its just unbelievable. And you get matches with people like this no matter how high you climb.

How far do we need to go? I consistently get clueless players in Diamond games and they could be on either team.

I’m not talking about players that are having a bad game.

I’m talking about bronze players here. Dva’s that don’t know how to launch a bomb and just put use it wherever, Kiriko’s that throw suzu around like it’s confetti and dps that will consistently run in 1v5 straight from spawn.

Until the matchmaker is fixed and new players stop getting thrown into diamond games your argument is invalid.

Matchmaking doesn’t work. Doesn’t matter how much you climb you will have supports that don’t know how to play their role.

You noobs start throwing “no kills” after ignoring DPS since matchstart. Go to excuse for people like you.

You can start carrying on DPS with no heals and these noobs still won’t manage to heal you. Almost as if the DPS wasnt the problem in the first place, but a bad healer that can’t manage to leftclick anything but the huge tank target that is in their face.

stop pocketing feeding tanks.

A lot of you argument it, that it depends,
if you trust your heal bot target they get priority, so many time i boost a hanzo just to wiff spam,

dps primarly if the dps sucks on your team,

pocket the tank if he is making space.

I dont heal people who spam the i need heal button minus the widow who is usually behind me i know the state of everyone on my team, i will usually take an L it keep a spammer from getting what they want.

If your flankers need heals they messed up you know where to find me, don’t know how many time i flew or teleported to a flanker just to die with them…

Don’t ask people to switch healing is poor switch to something with more self sustain, be more sufficient before telling others how to be.

To end my point if you think every support is bad on your team you play it, no one is stopping you from playing support, just like know one is stopping a bad dps who cant win one flank fight

Maybe do your job and heal your teammates before they feel the need to start spamming “need heals”?

While I agree with the gist of your statement, lets not pretend like it’s only supports. you get potato’s on every role.

It’s lack of communication almost always the issue

:woman_standing:

Does anyone else here like playing Torb/Bastion and noticed how little you get healed compared to if you played any other DPS lol

I feel like it’s to force us off these heroes s2g lol (QP of course)
