Why is everyone playing support on stadium?
Currently, Im with a 15 ~10 minutes wait time for the support role, 1 minute for damage, and 4 minutes for tank. I noticed that the support role has been quite popular in queue compared to damage. Why is that?

cuz with stadium. you can build an already OP support. into a tank that can DPS and heal the entire team. take kiriko for example. she can become a tank, that does insane DPS and outheales zenyatta tranz.
DPS can only really build into more DPS and survival. and tank the same. but support can go everything. and plus. kiriko, mercy and juno. yeah everyone is gonna play support. when its litterally the 3 most popular charecters in OW

Support builds are crazy in this mode. They're all so much fun to use.

Since stadium is shuttering for me. I usually go for supports. Playing tank and dps with it can be terrible.

ana headshot damage builds are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crack cocaine, nothing like headshotting your way to victory, either big damage or big healing you got it all in that, supports are super fun to play in general

This. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this. As a support main, Stadium makes the role so much more fun.

It's because people can build supports as dps and actually have a little fun :gbvs_sierokarte:,
Also, the hero choices are a bit lacking In the other roles at the moment.

I don't really get it as you can build some stupidly OP tank and DPS builds. I guess it comes down to available hero options

Crepuscular circle combines damage and healing beams and applys to everyone in range even if the pistol is out. Its a nice perk. Threads of fate chains your beam to your previous beam target for 3s at 50% power and is also a nice perk. Two of her best imo

Support is just more fun in this mode than the other roles and the available heroes reach a wider portion of the total support player base than the options for the other roles.

Support has all the fan favorite characters, old and new, with good builds on all of them and pretty good balancing. DPS and tank by comparison are missing a lot of fan favorite heroes and the build options for them are messier and less balanced. Especially DPS, where the three best choices are just 3 hitscans that all play similarly to how they play in normal Overwatch.

Blizzard probably should've seen this coming, it's really mostly that support has Mercy, Kiri and Juno which are all crazily popular heroes in general, while tank and DPS players are lacking many of their favorites.
