So I main Support but also enjoyed playing Tank. I used to main Tank for a Long time but by time I switched to support. I always was in plat (5-1) as tank and a few weeks ago i dropped to Gold and i don‘t get out of it. I play 1 Game and the people are just terrible - 1 lost fight and people go „tank diff“ or their picks are just Bad. I asked the support to kindly Switch to kiri (from lifeweaver & mercy) because the Enemy Ana hit every anti nade - the answer I got: f you tank don‘t die

I don‘t Stick to my pick - i try to adapt but teammates Need to do it aswell.

When a soldier goes literally 7 6 in a push round I think its time to Switch to something more passive - i get told to kms - wtf?

It‘s just frustrating and Not fun.

How do You handle this?

I believe all 4 characters popped their ults in a similar timeframe, or potentially an echo got 2 in a single activations. This was way back when echo would clone tanks since her health didn't get reduced at all

I'd appreciate any pointers

heya there, everyone!

support main here. As the title says, I'm trying to decide which Support to try and let it become my 3rd main for my "Holy Trinity".

my first main started with Ana. I love the way she gives out damage with her sniper rifle. because no matter if you hit an enemy in the head (without the headshot perk, of course) or in the toe, you still do the same amount of damage. her anti-nade, nano boost, her sleep dart, and her perks...I love em all! obviously the only downside I have with her is that she has no mobility.

my second main is Juno. Probably the complete opposite of Ana when it comes to mobility. her mediblaster, or "Bubble Gun" as I like to call it, has been very fun to use, especially now that she can crit. her speed ring is very valuable and has saved me and my teammates cpuntless times. And her burst healing of the torpedoes, along with damaging enemies...just amazing! and don't get me started on the ult. the only downside in my opinion is that Juno has the health of a mosquito. blow a bit of wind at her and she'll be dead before you can even blink. Then again, I still love playing her. XD

But when my Ana gets banned and the enemy team is constantly killing me on Juno (and Ana as well if she isn't banned), I want to swap, but I'll be playing heroes that I haven't practiced as much as my 2 mains.

So my question is a two-part one:

"Which support hero would you recommend me to make my 3rd main and what tips would you give me in order to understand the character better and just get better at playing said hero?"

Any recommendations and tips are appreciated!

Just had a game where they banned Dva, and Mauga. They then proceeded to run mercy, juno, phara, echo, and i realized there was literally nothing I could do. I had dps that wouldn't target the flying heros. It just wasnt enjoyable, I went orisa to try and shoot them out of the sky but they were so high that it didn't really work at all.

So if the next hero release could be a tank that can deal with flyers like a dva can that would be really nice :)

I can aim with Echo, Kiriko, Zenyatta... but trying to land left click on Torb no matter how much I try to predict... seems close to impossible for me personally. It seems like projectile lands on enemies, but nothing really happens... which makes me think I just then miss ?

Are there some workshop codes where you could practice these? It feels like everytime there's Torb on enemy team, they do not miss their left clicks.. so clearly I'm doing something very wrong.

Code:840JBR

Platform:pc

Rank:masters 4

Hero played:moira

So this was the last game of the day and I felt empty because I feel like it was so winnable this flashpoint went all the way to 5 but I feel like we just threw the last point so hard.

This game started off ok with a messy first fight and we had a weird comp but we pulled out in the end. Their tank went dva and it all went downhill as they 5 man dived our backline and was eating anything of value. I couldn’t keep our backline alive for the life of me as wuyang and echo kept getting rolled and their reaper was on the back 24/7 as well. I felt the next few fights until our tank swapped was just our backline getting rolled(or I just didn’t turn around) and me fading to the tank and praying we can pull off a 2v4,though ngl our tank was doing great and our dps were counterswapping their lives out so I don’t think the could’ve done more wuyang also swapped to a more survivable hero eventually as well so we were doing better. But then I feel like our tank swapping to dva literally started just dive bombing whoever they saw first which kind of worked kind of didn’t but it got us to the last point where I think our first mistake was not kiting kiri ult when we all litirally could’ve jus left. Then when we flipped point we were down two and the looked like they were going to recounted so our kiri ults point which I don’t think I can blame them as I couldn’t see how many people were on high but our dva litirally flies into their team making tons of space and pushing them back but also using ult in the process so we more or less wasted two ults and staggered out a solid 20%. Last fight reaper tps in I ult reaper to keep them alive probably should’ve faded(I can’t remember if I had it) but souj killed me mid ult and it was just over.

I’m not sure where I could’ve done better as I switched to healing orbs when dva started eating all my orbs I was doing decent healing as I was 7k above everyone else at the end of the match they all had 12-13k my dmg was lacking a bit me and other support both had 1k less than theirs but I feel like with reaper giving constant backshots and souj clicking heads dmg and dva eating everything dmg value was hard to come by. I also never really ran out of heals so I was never desperate to dps. I thought about swapping to brig or Lucio to go all in like they did/counterswap dva but I feel like brigs so bad into a good reaper and I doubt we could’ve survived 5 man dive anyways. and I rarely play Lucio on my alt I mess around with him and I’m diamond 2(haven’t peaked yet) but I feel like I’m just trolling on him and winning.

I’d like any advice on what to do and look for, have I peaked as a player who can only play casually and doesn’t bother ult tracking? Should I have swapped I’m not an otp by any means I just feel like survival was what was needed of me that game(I can brig, troll on Lucio, Ana, Juno, kiri, illari, and bap). Should I be more aware of my backline(I did get mildly flamed by echo for not looking at him but he swapped and I feel like we did a lot better I also don’t think an echo should expect that much from a lowly moira who only has limited piss range). Should I be looking to do more damage as some content creators preach?(I don’t believe in letting my team die unless I also trade but then we’re literally even so there was no point really unless we trade tank imo). Should I just quit work and grind ow?
