Supports are the most fragile heroes in the game and they require protection and stuff. I am not talking about t500 or gm. I am talking about plat and below. Like not that i am healing you. Not that i am preventing you from dieing. Not that i am enabling you to play as you want by minigating threats. NOT THAT I AM CARRYING YOU *SS BY TAKING OUT THE WIDOW AS ZEN. You can say “I just want to play the game” and not protect me. Well guess what. I want to play the game as well. And if your dumbass doesn’t want to help me do that i will stop healing. It’s not something like swapping to symm or not healing because you picked a throw pick. It’s lose lose all around. I die more often you die more often.
You thing a healer is one of your abilities. You think i will waste my freebie for your risky plays and you over extending? You think i will be able to f*cking heal you when you are on the backline trying to setup a dragonblade with no help from the other team whatsoever?

You’re asking a lot from us plat and below players. Watch the back line, protect our healers AND attack the objective? Woah there…let’s keep our expectations realistic now.

Support mains are one of the most entitled and whiny people I’ve ever seen. You are doing a job, same as the rest of your team. You cant force the others to take care of you especially if you are treating them like they are below you. You know you are not forced to play the easiest role in the game, right? Man up or shut up.
It’s one thing to complain if you’re constantly getting fragged by the Reaper or Genji harassing the backline, but if you decide to stop healing people just because you feel you are dying a little too much, then yeah, that’s throwing.

If you hate playing a healer so much then why don’t you play a different role?
DPS : atleast 5 minutes queue in mid-high diamond and then you get teammates which will cry about DPS “sleeping”
Tank : Some tanks are boring, and the other ones are hard
Try Lucio. I learned Lucio in like high silver (1900) and went up to high plat (2960) in one season. In 100 hours of lucio, I have like 3.40 elims / life, which means that its not that hard to stay alive. I also had most of the times gold healing around 10k - 15k per game. Fun and easy hero
Jokes aside, I find that plat and lower elo players really get tunnel vision when playing. Like all 6 players are looking foward, nobody watches the back line for flankers, to help healers, etc. Many games have been lost simply for this reason alone, our attacks constantly get disrupted by flankers, reaper, pharah, etc, and our team not paying attention. It also doesn’t help that in most games, you only have maybe 2-3 ppl in vc.

If you’re not willing to do anything about your situation then what do you expect the rest of us to do about it?
@Bustar
Look. Generally, people who are willing to heal (or tank) must get some recognition. Support players know about strategy and shot calling, tanks about teamwork and leadership and dps players didnt understand a single word. You are on cree. You have that amazing free kill button called E. You will get more value out of it by throwing it on your back at the genji that dove me (zen) rather than on the rein who didnt even die.
@Snowieken
You are talking like not protecting the person keeping you alive is not throwing.
@Art3mis
I dont hate playing healer i am a healer main. Lucio zen bap ftw. I cant play dps because i dont have a self heal. Also there is this thing were i am sh*t at fraging with mccree but with zen i can get a 4k for breakfast. I dont know how i do that.
@Rander
I am a lucio main… I have mastered wallride and i can get ez frags every game. I just want to play zen every now and then.
Making mistakes is not throwing, at most it’s just playing poorly. Deciding not to heal someone because he/she is playing poorly? Yeah, that’s throwing. Learn the difference, it’s not that hard.

Deciding to flash and fan the rein who doesn’t die and basicaly waste a recourse is playing poorly? Have you seen pros that do that at the start of a fight? No. They do that when they know the rein is gonna die from that fan.
(im using cree as an example because he is the best anti-flanker pick and the best peeler)
Yes, exactly.
So, your point is, if you don’t play like a pro, you’re throwing?
The difference between throwing and just playing poorly is intent. Wasting an ult by mistake, mistiming an ability, not being able to kill a flanker because he just outplays you… that’s all just poor play or mistakes.
Not healing someone on purpose, just because you are salty that he let you die, that’s throwing.

There you go, first sentence and you show your true colors, you feel you are better than the DPS players…why? Because you “sacrifice” yourself for the team? Because you help them therefore you are entitled to a higher treatment?
Boy, I wish some of you played an actual MOBA where supports are underfarmed most of the game and tanking a gank(and of course dying in the process in less than a second) is considered a good move.
Bro. I am LITTERALY keeping you alive so you can do stuff. If you arent getting heals, youre gonna f*cking die. So shut your mouth. I can always stop healing you know. So protect me and play like you should. Put your matrix on me, throw a flash on my ass to catch the genji because if you dont do it, you are gonna die as well because your healer died. And i am not talking about myself only. Every healer main must be protected in games.

Guys guys guys, chill!
I know we whine a lot us supports, but that’s usually cause we get shat on by our team for their f ups. Which i guess happened to op before his shower thus making him rant here.
It is as we all have said multiple times, a game based on teamwork, and if the team is too occupied with getting kills and doing their own thing and not cooperating as a team to win the objective and still expect the healer to come to their aid, then the support who tries to keep the team together and alive gets frustrated. “If you don’t help me why should i help you?” Is a totally valid, but petty and immature, argument.
I’m not saying all players are like this. I’m always gonna heal u no matter how much of an egocentric douche you are, just don’t expect to be my first priority when healing.

They had us in the firt half not gonna lie. I mean. Genjis go into the backline trying to mimick necros and cluch a blade without the enemy team noticing, everyone sees them and they ask for healing. They expect a zen to out heal a dva bomb, they expect a baptiste to throw his freezbie to save them from overextending. In general, dps players think they are entitled to healing no matter what. Im trying to change things up and teach my teammates that its not like that and their misstakes will get punished and if they want to climb they must eliminate them.
On the other hand tanks ARE entitled to healing because they have large hitboxes, they protect the team and are support ult batteries. This is to remind you how useless dps are in this game. Hell even a comp that doesnt even have them was dominating the ladder for a whole year.

dude if u dont risk and wait for someone to boost u dont aspect to go out of gold
Everyone has a nob to do but i agree its annoying as hell when a tank jumps onto point in a way tbat is impossible for tbe healer to keep up to heal them.
Then they cry they got no healing…Wtf you expect the healer to do when YOU just put the entire enemy team between you and tbe healer??
Plus tbe game really needs to come up with ways to show supports and tanks more recognition.
A lot of these issues people bring up like helping back line healers who are getting flanked can easily be fixed by using that magical device that was invented in 1876, yes I’m referring to the good old microphone.
Healer in the back: “I’ve got a Genji on me!”
Tank: “I’m about to jump their back line, get ready to push in after me”
etc,…
It makes the world of difference. Comp is partly the mess it is because most (yes most) players both in EU and NA refuse to use that 1876 invention.
