it’s the same bs over and over again. you just can’t do anything when you have a bad team, but oh it’s always the healers fault yeah totally. it’s totally the healers fault when your rein just charges in or your dps have the brain size of a freaking raisin and can’t properly dps when you have 2 silver goddang elems as mercy. BUT NO IT’S ALWAYS THE SUPPORTS FAULT RITGT???

Yea match quality is extremely going downhill and it really does take hundreds of hours of grinding comp in 1 season to get an old hardstuck account to move far, but it is possible. Very hard and emotionally exhausting, but possible
so dw if ur losing, its your fault AND your teammates fault, gg go next

Honestly I’d love that in my opinion but she is like 99.9% staying a dps so don’t worry lol. The devs hate “thinking too hard” on reworks.
The only reason sym went dps is because they didn’t want to test healing options enough and the game had established at that point that “support” means “healing” in OW.
The only reason they’re looking back at sym (potentially) is because they’ve literally tried 3 reworks at this point lol.
I feel like if Sombra was going to be a support, she should have been one at launch and the game would have been better for it. Sombra is literally my favorite hero (sym, moira, brig after) so I honestly hope they don’t butcher her too much in OW2 because I like her current iteration.

I love sombra too much to watch her go into the dark side of the support role.

That’s kinda funny because I don’t see how people can climb on DPS.
I feel like nothing I do has value and I always get blamed by Moiras who can’t wrap their head around why they have gold elims over a Widow.
I feel like I have way more impact on the game when I play support.

im like the completely the oposite xd
Some hero’s have a larger impact than others. The so called Skill “Ceilings and floors”. Some hero’s have a pretty low ceiling and lack of impactful plays tends to mean you rely far too much on your team to win.
One of the best examples is Mercy. YOu can be the best mercy in the world, heal thousands of HP, get multiple rezes off a round and still loose if your team are potatoes.
For a support to carry you need to not die, your team doesn’t wipe, your actions are the reason your teammates survival and you have a point or objective captured and you are actively defending it.
Or you play like a DPS and kill most of the enemy team while completing objectives.
If you make all of those conditions then supports can carry.
Or a DPs can push Q and get a six man kill. Perfectly even expectations upon the role. In general if your not grouping up with friends you know as Support you either need to be really lucky at getting good teams. Or be at least two ranks higher than your current rank to rise fast.

That’s generally it, you can either carry a team (highly unlikely) or get lucky with match making because support is very team dependent.
you can climb on support if you’re not bad, just saying

Time after time after time after time we have seen unranked to GM runs on either the Support role or even specific heroes in that role so this premise fails right out of the gate as the problem is YOU cannot climb on Support and that is because you are where you belong.

isn’t this the same guy who was crying about sombra players because he got hacked off the map? and then raged like a baby and got banned so he had to make an alt account?

the role is support not healer. each support offers more utility than just healing.
the game is about getting the W not how fat your heal stats are. passively healing bad team mates will at best result in a stalemate.
shift your focus to doing what you can to win. the game is about making ‘‘winning plays’’, interpret that how you want as it will change game to game, rank to rank.

unranked to GM isn’t representative of what you’d experience if you are say gold trying to climb to Plat.
Overwatch’s MMR system gives a handicap to new accounts as it doesn’t have high confidence in their skill rating yet. This handicap comes in the form of better teammates. In addition, because the system accelerates your gains based on if you are getting multiple wins in a row most unranked to GM runs hardly have any exposure to the hard stuck ranks.
People grinding out on their existing accounts are at a disadvantage. This game has a huge smurfing problem and that’s in part because it encourages smurfing.
It really depends on which healer as well. Mercy for example is very team dependent.
