"Im tired of so many instant lock DPS and no healers"

[Echorion]

Maybe stop harassing the healers in chat every game? Like no wonder less people want to play it.

"but they are not HEALING ME!!! They are so trash/bad!!!1!"

9/10 times the people being rude to the healers in chat; are doing so out of pure ignorance of anything that actually was going on in the game. Sure not always, but almost every time.
Healers were constantly being dived without support, people spamming for heals when healers are dead, people running outside of healing range and dying as they are massively over extended, etc...

I know these folks are not going to self-reflect or actually stop accosting people in chat, it's always a thing in every game-- but man disabling team chat in your options is a must if you are queuing up as a healer.

Most people right now who are going "well sure OTHERS are wrong but I'M RIGHT the healers are bad!" you're probably wrong and just...not paying attention to teammates in your game. Doesn't matter if you were MVP/SVP that game, you can have a good round or be decent at the game and still be a terrible teammate/have zero awareness of others.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, that is all, have a good day and enjoy your games everyone! :)

If a player is complaining about my healing i hop on Black Widow and out DPS them. They shut it for the rest of the match.

[KaZudra]

C&D, Mantis, and Sue handle anti-Dive really well, but it still means DPS isn't going to get healed, Rocket is evasive and with Skill can also handle dives... yet again healing windows are small.

Best bet is to lock-in Star Lord, Storm, or Namor as they have good Anti-Dive. Wolverine is a good choice if it's Tank Dive, Ironically Spider-Man does really well as Anti-Dive.

For Tanks, Magneto and Venom are solid picks, Magneto can disrupt and shield while Venom's mobility allows for some double duty Dive and Anti-Dive.

The Kill feed is a bit meh because it does scroll on very quickly, I wish it does the Halo thing and just Pings a dead teammate, But do communicate! If heals are being Dived without countermeasure please speak up and DPS Understand that being their gun isn't gonna get you MVP numbers, but it will shut down the opponent and force em to switch up or most cases a rather free win.

Well it's a multiple tier problem when you look at all the videos put out they tell everyone if you want to climb play dps(which is what causes the instalock). Then the if you can't carry your whole team you don't deserve to climb. there is a lot of toxic people that just blame everyone but themselves. Then most can't play more then maybe two heroes and guess what they both are? DPS lol. I have turned on voice chat this season and honestly I have been sort of regretting it. I am a fill player usually as I have learned every hero and understand their kits. I have at least 2 in each role I prefer and I am happy playing them.

That said last night I had a game where my team decided that take cover was a suggestion, Diving the team and not playing the objective was the plan. Staggering spawns was a goal and then one decided when we was on the push part of the cart that sniper was the answer as well. Well this game went as you would expect we lost. Then what happens? Glad you asked the dps on the team blames the strategists. I called them out on it then the other dps tried to blame me in general and didn't even know who I was playing and my numbers (he thought i was the other strategist). I pointed out he needed to look again I had the 2nd highest healing in the match as if they would not have tried to 1v6 or 2v6 non stop my numbers would have been higher. In total my team had 60 deaths to the enemies 44 and how many deaths did I have in that match? 4 but hey I was the reason the team failed lol.

I love the game it's fun but some of the players are just toxic as hell. At this rate the toxic players will be the death of the game unless they are got under control.

Exactly but honestly when I am on support I am lucky if they turn around for my pings to stop divers.

Oh That's a REAL issue I have with both OW2 and MR, I absolutely hate how behind pings are so tucked away yet if they are on-camera it's pin-point accurate.

[Noelemahc]

The ping problem is dual - first, the game's ridiculous about miinterpreting pings and not everybody remembers taht double tapping the ping button always sends an enemy alert, second, DPS players in bronze and qp (where most of these complaints originate) ignore any kinds of pings, be it "plz let's go through here" or "get on the flarking objective" or yes "please stop this Thor from ripping my head off".

[GrieverXVII]

playing support was by far the most stressful experience, especially as a Luna.. I don't think people who play DPS really realize that as a support, not only do you have probably thee most important job of keeping the team as alive as possible, but you are also priority enemy number 1 for the opposition, so you are basically getting focused, dived, counter picked all game.. meanwhile you have a team that wants heals non-stop all at the same time, most dps seem to ignore ankhs, totems, spider mines.. and Luna has hitscan so they also want you to somehow kill the flying heroes aswell. managing everyones expectations is exhausting and no matter how well you perform.. which often you have to end up doing more dmg than the dps players along with getting the top heals simultaneously.. its all somehow your fault in the end when the team loses.. its the most thankless disrespected role in these games.

im lord luna and punisher btw, and imma just say it.. but any time i went on losing streaks it was on my luna and 9 of 10 games were because of major dps diff.. when i switched back to my punisher and went to work, all i had to do was prioritize and kill players.. easiest role there is. not saying there aren't equally as bad healer players out there.. im just saying between the 2 roles.. dps is extraordinarily easier.

[Krosis Priest]

I pretty much main support, with text and voice chat disabled, and it's a lot of fun. Highly recommended. Do your thing and have fun, if it works then you win, if not it's basically not your fault.

[VOLUME SHOOTER]

It’s ok to be rude to DPS but not healers

[ReDsKuLL]

I've had gold matches where I, the single best performing support in the match, get blamed for a loss because "you're focusing on damage." Here's a note: Before match end you can't see other people's heal numbers. Don't assume they aren't doing their job. That high kill count? Characters like Cloak have very fast attack speed and rack up final hits. If a Cloak has low kills, they're either playing poorly or the team isn't pulling enough weight to let them do their secondary job. Half of Cloak's kit (and part of other supports') are offensive skills with specific intended uses.

There's nothing more annoying than seeing gold DPS players with 3-4 kills and watching as healers get blamed. Especially when one of them has to pull that DPS slack and still keeps high heal numbers.

[HighLanderPony]

Wait, you've chat on?

[CMCAdvanced]

Competitive mode isn't "have fun doing whatever you like" mode.

[Belyth]

The worst part is when they lock the DD, and don't kill anything.
"WHERE IS MY HEAL?!"
Where are my kills, Iron Fist? Hela? Black Panther?
I wanna see bodies dropping, heads rolling, insults in the chat.
I can't outheal 6 people attacking you
do everyone a favor and just alt+f4 and uninstall windows

And then everyone clapped.

[Syrin]

I am a mid GM3 support player who solo Q's. I genuinely have not seen a lot of the toxicity described here. The complaints I have seen have usually been directed at an under performing DPS player or tank.
