The more I have played tanks and healers the more convinced I am that DPS should just be removed from the game.
People who play DPS are more often than not clueless about the game and what their role is.
I outperform DPS both as tank and healer regularly. Why should I excel so that a McCree can learn to hit a target or a genji can figure out to target healers?
It doesn’t make sense. Tanks and healers have intrinsic value. DPS classes doesn’t. Just remove them once and for all and let useful classes play the game.
I’m pretty sure Blizzard isn’t just going to remove 17 heroes, more than half the roster, out of the game. Every person has their role, and it is unfortunate that you are outperforming them, but all I’m going to say is that it’s a sign.
Yeah DPS have big room for creativity, without it players will be limited to a few select choices that doesn’t result in the community getting creative.
the other 20% is that the OP is actually Alex jones trying to warn us that DPS players are literal vampire pot belly goblins from space coming after our right to bare arms!!! MAGA!!!1!!!one!!!
removing dps is the most insane thing I think ive seen anyone say, might as well remove the whole first person SHOOTER aspect whilst your at it. and if the dps aren’t good than how’s that the games design fault. ive played dps and tank primarily and I don’t care what anyone says, dps is the hardest role in the game. for instance im new to pc, nearly reached diamond in my second season. but for tank im already nearly masters. all blizzard need to do is add more tanks and healers and less cc.
I’ve never heard a support say they shouldn’t heal, or a dps say they shouldn’t get kills, but I hear a LOT of tanks who think it’s everyone else’s job to push.
I believe the design of DPS as a role leave a high skill ceiling and low skill floor. However, due to there ‘fun’ aspects e.g getting kills and dealing a mass of damage, many low level players naturally attract towards these characters. This means that the average DPS player is worse than the average tank or support. Not saying some tank or support players aren’t bad but the average is higher in skill due to less players and less low level players. Meaning that if the game keeps growing and the players constantly get better than more players will main DPS leaving the average gap bigger as the tank players master their class. Of course DPS players will master their class however that wont impact the average very much. This makes it so you are more likely to find bad DPS then you are to find bad tanks/ supports.
