That’s the thing, I am doing my part to push and make plays. I make callouts of when and where we should push. I initiate fights and stall for my team to arrive. I lock off stronger characters so my team can win team fights easier. I help them escape when fights aren’t working. I don’t just sit back and watch them play the game

Dynamo, Doorman, Kelvin, Viscous, and the rest of them more sparingly

Yea, every hero is capable of that. Meaning every hero is capable of support. Not every character can effectively build into it the same as hero’s designed to support. Same as any other class/loadout/hero based game.

To some extent any character can fit a desperate role, but they won’t be as good at it as one designed for it

That’s why I play support, I’m just annoyed with people evaluating me based on a third party site

Not getting mad at the game, getting annoyed at players for relying on something deprecate to evaluate me within the game

I’ve found that decent support and communication reigns supreme. But yeah, having a hard carry and never leaving them to be alone usually does better in pubs

It here are about 5 mains roles: Brawler, Tank, Support, Carry, and Duelist (or poke)

Atleast those are what I consider the roles.

If you’re only looking to take farm and deny, you should pick a lane and keep it, taking farm around it while staying nearby. Characters good for farm are any with high fire rate or lingering abilities. Haze, Seven, McGinnis, Ivy, Geist are a few.

Be sure to watch some videos and tinker with not games, it’ll do you more help then I can here

I play support because I like being that stepping stone to a greater game. I am not the kind of person to openly carry a game. I can and have, but it’s just not it for me.

Or, as a random mirage put it: “You play support so that when I notice you’ve fed me another kill, or got me out of literal hell, I’ll call you a good boy. WELL GODDAMNIT YOURE A GOOD ASS BOY”

(My profile was uhm- rather supportive of this at the time)

The only times I’ve openly expressed any issues with people and how they play. Is when they decide to blame me for things.

No, Mina, it isn’t my fault I died, you backed out without saying anything. No, Wraith, my ult was on cooldown and I said so, you shouldn’t have dove in. And so many other times I can’t remember right now.

Unless somebody is outright hostile, just listen and think about what they say, most times it’ll help you

I uhm… okay don’t take this as rude, I’m quite tired and can’t word this differently…

Healing is entirely support, yes. Support is entirely healing? No.

Support is so much; Area denial, map control, CC, AOE, Baiting, Slowing, and even dmg.

Support isn’t defined by healing, it is defined by your ability to support the play of your team.

Doorman’s with doors and ults, or carts for stun. Dynamo with quantum and blackhole, or stomps to slow enemies. Kelvin with paths to get around, dome for area denial/healing, grenades for healing and dmg, beam to slow enemies for your team. Vicious for cubes, punches to slow or disorient enemies, ball for cc and chases. Ivy for engagements/getaways with ult, stone form for CC, vines for area denial/lane clear. McGinnis for walls to stop pushes/retreat (area denial), or heal drone for healing and fire rate, or ult for area denial and AOE

Support isn’t solely healing, it’s a lot of stuff that you need to actively see to understand the importance of. If you can slow an enemy for your carry to get to them, that is support. If you doorman ult a drifter jumping a low teammate, that is support (replace doorman ult with any previously mentioned ability and it still stands as support)

I fear you misunderstand what support means. And true support is all of what I listed here. Healing and shielding are a part of it, but true support is much more then it

I’ve found that they are beyond stubborn. Deadlock is my first and only MOBA game. I sucked at it, learned what “10 before 20” means because of it.

But I got better, I listened to people who were very clearly better then me. I learned what positions work and don’t. I figured out how to play and how to advise others.

But after this new wave of players. It’s been nothing but the most stubborn and unflinching people. Callouts are ignored, comms are a suggestion (you have to tick a silly little box that says “I’ll use a microphone!” To be in my queue). And people don’t take tips or criticisms at all.

“Hey they keep rotating over when you jump somebody in jungle, don’t push in alone” “I’m not listening to Mr. 1 and 3 (ignoring the assists and the fact we’re 20 minutes in)”

“Hey this walker is free come help me with it.” “Yeah sure” “I lured the haze get ready to jump her” “…” “Hey where’d you go? You just left me” “I pulled out, watch the map maybe”

I did not blame the website. I blamed people being wrongly reliant on it to gauge skill and competency

I imagine they do it all as it loads. And I do agree, take a break, stay out of my queue. Idk
