So i’ve tried everything to get up ranked and it looks like if you play support you can forget it. Nerf after nerf, fellow players not understanding that you have to switch characters now and again. I have played tank and dps when needed , you bring in a new supports (Moira , Brigette ) it’s met with howls of derision from dps getting thier bottoms felts for the first time. They get nerfed and are STILL complained about. Sorry blizz you are making a game that was at the start hugely enjoyable , to now being irritating to play. You will know yourself how many people are logging in to play comp and the massive dip in people no longer doing it. If you favour dps too much you get the current state of play, every game has a Genji , Hanzo or Tracer. all very hard to kill with very quick ult charges, is some of this down to player skill sure. But when all you had to do was lower the damage of Hanzo’s scatter rather than give him fan the arrows…not even an original concept, it makes the game unplayable. the idea was Overwatch for all, not another twichy pixel shooter . You have plans to remove Symm’s locking beam, so what makes her different from Moira and Zarya at that point? nothing really just another straight beam to facilitate bad dps not knowing how to counter.
If your basing your MMR on dps rating where does that leave support? pretty much on a slippy slope. oh and before the trolls here say get gud, or rank shame…what happens when the people who play support leave your game? it just becomes cod with fancy skins, cod had ults before OW (Gravity spikes etc).Please sort your game or watch your player base trickle away to other games.
Well you mainly play mercy… I find often people who nag about people not switching are not switching them selfs. Thinking that they are some how so good that they dont have to switch but everyone else has to.
Yep but people are stupid.
Well I think the main reason is that symm will be able to attack as well.

I have more hours on junk than Mercy, i’ve tried most of the other supports had some success with Zen but that involves your dps paying attention and focusing the discorded target. I don’t think i’m better than everyone else and have changed when needed . if people think that Symm on attack is a good idea…just think of bastion on attack on ANY MAP where the team has to be built round one player , thats just wrong.
It’s based on wins and losses. There IS an individual component, but it’s really small. If you win more games than you lose, you will climb at pretty much everbody else with the same win/loss ratio.
Well according to your comp stats you got 11h hours on mercy and under 1h on junk. Also zen can be powerful if YOU are good. You dont have to make your team to focus discord, you can discord the target that your team is shooting and in low ranks its usually the first guy they can see. Attack symm can work if they are good enough. Also bastion attack especially on low ranks and payload maps will be pretty much autowin if you have a comp to back it up. Even people at higher ranks has hard time figuring out how to defend against that.
It can be pretty big. Like 50% easily IF you actually belong to a much higher rank. If you are at a rank or close to a rank where you belong its next to nothing.
I cant see your other seasons, and you say you cant climb with supports. Junk is not a support. And if you say you have played more junk than mercy then it means you cant climb with dps either id assume.
