Can we please stop seeing DPS healers? Can you seriously tank the healers damage? Just had several games back to back where Ana had as much damage as DPS. And a quarter the healing of our other healer. The last one stated that DPS wasn't doing anything so... We were dead... 2k healing vs Mercy's 10k. And had as much damage as Hanzo at 5.5k

Imagine if that wasn't their mindset? Imagine if they couldn't "Switch to dps" when they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ healers?

Fix this crap. And BOOST MERCY FFS STOP TOSSING HER UNDER THE BUS

Sounds like a skill issue

But it's literally not. It's a healer not healing, so dps is dying issue. But thanks for the feedback, mindrot.

It wins games. Heatbotting doesn't always win games. There is an objective.

I think that those are your usual DPS players who are tired from the prolonged queue times in the DPS role queue, hence why they resort to support role instead and try to prove that they're better DPS than the DPS players.. Despite nobody really caring about such competition in the end.
It's them taking things on a personal level, bringing it into the game, and believing that other players will see to appreciate those efforts.. Which is just as naïve as it sounds, but that's the only explanation that I do see as valid due to having some logic to it.

Personally speaking, I do try to provide as much healing as I can if the team mates keep their positionings in a line where and when I can keep up without being exposed to too much damage.. Otherwise, I must resort towards eliminating those that would take me out, and only then provide the healing that they keep spamming the team messages for during that time.
And before you ask- That's the situation in unranked Gold and higher ranks, mostly around Platinum. People just.. Doing their own instead of playing as a team, mostly prevalent during the weekends when people have no school or have some days off or something along those lines..

the more dps a support does the more likely you are to win. This is a skill issue sorry buddy. Once you rank up a little you'll see. Your support is not doing the wrong thing by doing dps. Especially when you already have a heal bot mercy on the team. Just learn to take cover.

Uh... It's literally math. When one healer is doing a quater what the other healer is doing. Because they are focused on DPS. When they could be healing the DPS that is dying from not being healed.

How literally idiotic do you have to get to not realize that no healing, means dead dps, dead dps means no dps.

Your logic is literally backwards as hell.

There's some truth to it, though..

Even if the player plays support, it's impossible to keep healing and hope to keep everyone alive. Sooner or later, you will want to drop some healing and help out deal some damage to take out some enemies to make pushing through easier.

The most optimal case scenario is to keep healing just enough to keep team mates alive (even if it's to keep them at 1 HP) and deal some damage to finish the enemies off at the same time.
That's for three reasons, valid reasons.
- To keep the ultimate charge going;
- To keep the objective progressing and keep those positionings, especially important if we'a talking about chokepoints;
- To keep up the synergy and support from the team.. As when one link breaks, that's that one player to count on less, which can serve as a distraction, some damage, or whatever utility the hero is packed up with.

I'd much rather have Brigitte who keeps dealing damage and healing rather than the one who refuses to get in and help them team, albeit keeping the healing high.. But never higher than the damage dealt and health healed at the same time.

From what I do know after this short time I've been playing the game, it's not as complicated as people keep claiming it to be.
There's not even a need to play Counterwatch if one can handle it with the current hero and the synergy works better for the entire team.. But so keep people saying, and the same people keep asking for healing despite being unable to deliver some damage, so.. The healing can't be received if the support gets taken out, but they don't care.

Play support then ?
Only fun role in this game is the DPS.

The best defense is a good offense.

It's not even about damage it's about holding angles and applying pressure, every single person on a team needs to do this including supports, it's how you win games. A good support will never give up a good angle to go chase a suicidal DPS.

Something like 80% of Overwatch players are plat or below and Blizzard has a matchmaking system that does everything it can to keep you at 50% winrate short of just instantly giving you the "Defeat" screen the moment you hit losers queue.

These two combined means it doesnt matter, nothing matters. Play whatever character you want, whatever comp you want, 50% of the time you'll win anyway. Sooo yeah, if you think your losing cause your supports are dpsing too much, dont worry, next game youll probs be carried by a dps moira.
