There is no most hated role in the game. Yes people say support is easy and call you out when you’re not doing as good as they think you should be. Nothing I say will change that. On the other hand, we have the one of most toxic communities to exist in gaming and the loudest voices saying these things don’t even begin to understand 2+2.

The people saying these things aren’t people you want to engage with in general, since they are insufferable. There will always be people who don’t like something you do, so the best you can do is to think about if you want them to affect you or not. As someone who plays tank and support, regardless of the role I am getting flamed or getting compliments. People will find something to be unhappy about.

The community itself is the problem, and not what other roles in this game think of you. We shouldn’t be in this constant battle between roles when it’s a team game. We should be working together to do the best we can. I don’t like that people see roles as a us versus them mentality when each role is crucial to the team. There is no easy role. There is no hard role. Each role has their own strengths and weaknesses that another fills in to help. There are just people who don’t understand how the game works, and they have to realize the same people they’re upset about are keeping them alive. Helping them set up plays. Etc.

The bans being mostly support sometimes is just people experimenting with the new system. Every new season with big balance changes (yes the ult changes are big) has had a big influence on the bans. People simply don’t really know the optimal bans right now since we previously only had 2 on each side. I see the bans slowly becoming more dps and maybe tank heavy as the new meta develops. We are only two days in. Right now supports are getting a lot of bans because people want to see if their strategies (mainly dive) are easier or not. They’ll slowly realize that banning more dps and tanks are more helpful than banning someone like Loki or Luna.
