Rn we’re going for changing them to dps which would once again result in them seeing much less play as the weaker dps…

Overall I don’t think it’s that hard making tanks and support fun, but the first step is accepting the fact they are not dps. The more skill you give to both healing and protection the more players would enjoy them. Last thing to note is that the harder the job, the more interesting it is. We talked about sounds, why not visuals? I want shields to glow brighter when they protect, I want players to glow in yellow when healed. Gold healing is nice and all but why not gold medal for “damage taken”? Which also includes shields in order to give tanks the advantage. So should there be a sound for healing or blocking damage. Just like you want players to hear a good sound when getting a headshot for example. I think that in order to encourage players to enjoy the other roles and objective, they first have before anything to implement more “rewards” for doing the job.įor example, why is there only a sound queue for kills and damage (and D.va’s matrix)? Not only that, but in general that playstyle actually wins MORE than pocketing your teammates who you should presume are autopiloting. Similarly lucio and moira off angling when no one else is can be the only way to win some games as support. Dps can make LOADS of space in situations where tanks can’t and often DEPEND on them to do so. I have ‘their job’ in inverted commas because ( i know this is a hot take on the forums) but its not the tanks job to make space, the dps job to get kills or the supports job to heal. Why should you sit there are speed boost a team that necessarily AREN’T COORDINATED because its ladder when you can go do ‘their job’ for them? If none of your dps go and flank or off angle then there’s 90% of the map and hundreds of opportunities every single minute flying by that aren’t being seized. You can go depend on your own movement and mechanics to make plays. You are not beholden to other people using your utility and turning their brains on. If you flank and go force a 1v1 and make people look at you, its at worst a 5V5 or a 5v4 in favour of your team, but most importantly:

people that aren’t expecting your speed and it messes up their movement and aim?.

anyone that doesn’t want to rotate ever.

a subpar comp for brawling that is forcing mid low ground all game vs choke stuffing rein zarya/brawl adapted comps?.

I’ve never played lucio in my life but I know when I see my lucio in the enemy backline as tank that I can look for openings really aggressively because he’s probably got 1 or 2 people looking at him and NOT at my team. If theyre in your elo theyre just as valuable as you Maybe, just maybe they should have not designed Overwatch for the COD player base in the first place? Perhaps copying Team Fortress was a mistake? Nobody cares what the objective of the game is. The focus on “fragging” is the reason even pros fall victim to “C9”, and “back capping”. So, instead of fixing a fundamental problem in the game, they started pumping out more options for death-matchers, like Unethical Irishwoman, Cowgirl Widowmaker, and Haitian Soldier 76. Some of the roster exists only to stall the death matching, or give some other player an edge in it, and somewhere along the way the devs realized they forgot to make those heroes fun. It’s posing as an objective-based game with roles that work in synergy, but it’s functionally a death match with extra steps. Guess what the root of the problem is? Overwatch fails to reward tanking and supporting.

Ana ignores team to 1v1 snipers, uses all nades on enemies.

Rein switches to Hog after getting deleted for the 9th time.

Here’s a tip: The players are not the problem, the game is.

Mercy giving in to blood lust, popping valk to score kills.Moira flanking alone, popping her ults to 1v1 someone.Lucio just booping enemies all game, saying “No” when asked for healing.Ever considered why so many people like to play certain heroes in the “wrong” way?
