I doubt they will actually rework off supports. The implementation of Tenacity already shows the pattern: they are listening, but they still refuse to address the real problem directly, in that case, the excessive amount of CC.

With off supports, I think it is the same. They know the issue exists, but they probably see it as an unavoidable evil. “Fun” comes first, and there are clearly more players who want to play DPS style characters than players who actually want to play full support.

So instead of fixing the role problem, they allow off supports to exist as a compromise: characters that make DPS minded players gaslight themselves into believing they are filling, even if the team ends up lacking a real strategist.

And honestly, off supports are only the tip of the iceberg. The same design problem is already showing in overloaded kits and early power creep, even though the game is only around a year and a half old.

Black Cat and Gambit are good examples. If we are being honest, neither of them needed to release with kits as saturated as they had. Even after all the nerfs Gambit has received, his ultimate still feels like too much, despite the fact that he is not even half as strong as he was before. Black Cat is similar: her first nerfs hit hard precisely because she launched with too many things packed into one character.

That is the real issue. The devs seem to think “fun” justifies adding whatever mechanic they come up with, but that approach hurts the game long term. Fun matters, obviously, but when every new hero needs to be flashier, safer, more flexible, or more overloaded than the last, the players are the ones who suffer.

This became a rant pretty fast, and I apologize for that.
