What is it with useless supports in 6v6?

General Discussion

I recently started tanking in 6v6 matches and notice that the supports are utterly useless 90% of the time.

Just to be clear, I’ve mained support for the last 2 years so I know how a good support when I see one and I have precisely NONE in 90% of my tank 6v6 matches.

Just lost a match because both supports were busy pocketing Junker Queen who was literally just chasing stragglers around the map while I (Ramattra) was fighting 4 people on the cart with 150hp.

Moira and Kiriko both pocketing Junker Queen while I have more damage and am actually pushing objective forward, make that make sense.

They had the cheek to claim that I was playing bad when I called them out for pocketing the Junker Queen who was preoccupied chasing low-health stragglers.

Honestly if you see this, Kiriko, just know that you are utterly useless and claiming that you’re playing a support you’re not used to does nothing to disprove the fact that you are a terrible support with not an ounce of game sense in your body.

Actually sick of losing because of teammates who have ABSOLUTELY ZERO game sense.

As a tank main… The amount of times I see tanks fall over and blame their supports… It’s ridiculous.

Yes, sometimes, the support position and mechanics let them down… But as the tank, if you’re not adjusting your play when you see that, then you can only blame yourself.

Example.
I can sit there as Rein, and blame the Ana for not healing me if I’ve ran the other side of a wall, or pushed past shields.

If I do that, I need to be sure I can either A, get out, or B, trade with picks

If I can’t. The support has zero blame in that situation.

No support goes into a game thinking, “I am not going to heal my tank”. If you are not getting sufficient healing, you need to ask yourself what you are doing wrong so that your supports aren’t able to give you the proper healing. Just something to think about.
