Support is so degrading and infuriating to play.
Do you know what's genuinely infuriating? Playing support. Every game it's the same thing; tanks going in to 1v6, DPS standing in the middle of their team, all just acting like training dummies for the enemy team to beat around. And because I, and usually another healer, can't sustain 5 or 6 players shooting our tank or dps, we get blamed for it.

Like, I'm sorry I couldn't heal you through multiple ults going off at once, and I'm sorry for getting dove by their team, but I can't heal you through that. Support players always get blamed for not healing but I've come to notice the rest of the team all starts to complain about heals when we're dead, usually because we got focused with no one to back us up. I'm a support, and I can't always win a 1v1 against an enemy Thor, especially while you're trying to 1v5 the rest of their team.

Do these people even turn around to see what their supports are doing? Like I hope they assume I am healing, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't check on me, especially when I'm pinging the Iron Fist in our backline. Once us support players die, the rest of our team has no heals and they use that as an excuse to flame us when we were just blasting heals into the venom trying to 1v5 while also fighting for our own lives because they had a dive.

I main support, and I believe I know what I'm doing, and my stats show that. Numbers are not everything, but when I'm averaging 20k healing per round, ending games with 40-50k, and it still being a loss, I don't think that's a support problem. Despite top heals most games, and despite out healing their supports in most cases, us supports are always first to get blamed. Supports aren't miracle workers and can't save your ass when you're feeding, out of position, or running into their team head first like an idiot, that's on you.

I hope eventually people like this will reflect on their future deaths and think to themselves, "was that my fault for going in by myself, or the support who's coming back from spawn?" And hope they realize it's the first answer. I understand some support players play like absolute trash, I've had to make up for them sometimes, and others have had to pick up for me. I get bad games too, but 99% of the time I'm trying my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hardest to keep the team alive and when we lose I get blamed, and when we win I get zero recognition.

When I flex to another role, even if I'm not the best, I always try to make our supports' lives easier by sticking with the team and staying within line of sight. Even if we push them up I know not to stray too far from the point because when I look back, majority of the time it's both supports sitting there while the rest of the team goes in and dies.

Had to rant, but I'm almost certain a majority of support players can relate to this entirely.

The number of times I've been flamed in ranked for not healing AFTER getting dived and dying horribly is amazing. I ping, I ask for peels, I try to be polite, nothing. No assistance, just toxicity. Of course the enemy team realizes my team mates are not peeling for me and I just get ganked repeatedly, which then enrages my idiot team mates who then refuse to help me out of some bizarre principle because I just suck and am ruining the match for them.

I really enjoyed season 0 of Marvel Rivals, and there are plenty of threads about EOMM and bot matches in the forums already, but season 1 has been toxic AF to the point I barely play. Reminds me of DOTA 2 or LoL, which I stopped playing completely years ago because I don't need that level of angst in my life.

As someone who plays Support a lot, when i get people that are like that, when they complain about no heals i just tell them "bro i can't heal brain damage, i'm sorry.." or when they say gg no heals i drop them the "gg no kills".

As a support, you gotta be mentally strong for creatures that are like that. As a support player you need DAMAGE, and if your teammates can't give you damage, then that's on them. Bumrushing the enemy like idiots is not gonna win games, it rarely ever works.

Stay strong fellow support player.
