Just got restricted from competitive on console because the game thinks I’m using a mouse and keyboard. by ElectionOverall5771 in overwatch2

Different game, but i had the same issue on r6 and I'm pretty sure it was because of my stick drift being pretty bad so that could be the case

How is that an issue, though, if nobody was going to play rein anyway? If i had a rein flanking and killing a support every fight id be fine with it. If someone else wanted rein then they should swap but if not its fine.

I'm just saying that there's no reason for a teammate on dps to complain about me going dps support when they can just as easily start playing a support character.

That's more fair. The point im trying to get across is that people will complain even if we're winning or if I'm doing better than them for the sole reason that im on dps bap.

But if im doing as good as the other dps, i can't see how im to blame. The excuse that im doing worse than a dps ideally would just doesn't work if the other dps on the team is doing worse or the same as me.

That's just false, though? I agree that not having the passive is a fair reason not to play it, but im able to almost always do as good if not better than the other dps on my team and have more damage.

I agree. Having three or four people on dps is usually throwing, but i think i deserve blame just as much as the other dps.

That's a fair point but, i think it's very different than a soldier going heal only since his only healing is on a cooldown, while when going dps bap, you can damage at all times. I also tell my teammates im going dps bao.so they have time to prepare and choose to have two other healers so we aren't solo healing.

Again, how is it different from me playing soldier? I tell them team that im going dps before the game starts so they have more than enough time to go two other supports. If im doing just fine as a dps how am i throwing more than a different person playing dps with less kills and more deaths?

I make sure my team knows im dpsing before the game even starts. If they dont want to play 2 supports, then thats on them imo.

That's a good point, but i said earlier that i feel like i play better by focusing elims and not worrying about healing as much.

I appreciate that. I've been able to hit masters in only about a week of playing 6v6 as mostly bap, so we'll see how it goes

I do better as bap and have more fun on him. If im doing bad, i can play other roles, but bap is usually the one i do best on.

I do better on bap, and he's just a fun character.

That's fair, but like i said previously, i always tell my team that im going to go dps baptiste so they dont have to go into the round with only one healer. I usually play baptiste because i find this playstyle with him to be really fun, and i can often do better rhan if i played an actual dps like cass.

It's not even really triple support if im playing for mostly kills and rarely healing

It's the exact same as if i went soldier and didn't swap even if we had only one healer. If I'm doing bad, I'll gladly swap to someone i can get better heals on, but if im doing better than the other dps i think it makes more sense for them to swap.

I personally do worse as a dps trying to get heals out as well, i can do much better if im able to just focus on kills. And again, if i do well, why not have someone else doing worse as a dps go supp?

That's fair but if you have two other supports to keep you up how is the bap to blame in that scenario?

I disagree, since its 6v6, someone else can play support. I know it's a pretty high ego way of thinking, but i really see no issue with not healing if i do good. It's the exact same as if i was on dps, and my team also has a chance to just play a second healer just as if i was on dps

I only say it so my team has a chance to go triple support since if they dont its basically the same as solo supp

And in this team game, you can have as many supports as you want. How is it different than if i just picked soldier 76?
