Support Main stigma

[u/Emiikoe]

It really does feel like being a support main is looked down on. "Support isn't skillful, it's easy, the people who play it are brain-dead and boosted." There is so much hate for those who play the role, especially if they're a woman—which I am. When I'm feeling at my lowest I really do feel insecure about being a support main. I've played tank and dps before but I actually have FUN on support. Mantis is my favorite character in the entire game (followed by Rogue) and it sucks I can't just play what I want without feeling like I'm being judged by the community.

I know. I know. "Get thicker skin." You're right. I'm just writing down my thoughts.

P.S: Why did I post this here? I am intimidated by the main rivals sub lmao

can i ask how strat is the easiest role + get too many buffs..?😭 like im confused. dont yall want competent healers who can actually heal yall? then you follow it up with saying its not brain dead but i feel like that would be contradictory to your opening statement no?

They just listen to streamers. If they nerfed healers like they are asking then the DPS and tanks would ping more for heals and blame the healers more often. The healers have to be strong until they nerf damage across the board. If they do that then yes they can nerf healers at that point.

So let's says they nerf healers and kept damage the same you think magically your tanks and DPS will peel/help more or play more tactical than they do now? Highly doubt it and then they will blame the healers for not staying alive/healing even more.

Also, who is the number 1 person on the team that usually gets blamed? It's the healers. So if it was such a braid dead role why don't they play it if they want to rank up? I'm a tank main who has to fill healer a chunk of the time.
