Before You Switch from Support to DPS

Before You Switch from Support to DPS

247 View2024-02-13
I get it, you wanted to try out support and got bodied by a braindead gloria standing in the middle of a lane. You took that death personally, and immediately switched to your DPS main of choice to teach them a lesson... this is terrible thinking for a couple reasons.

REASON 1: You'll never learn to play support if you can't put your ego aside to learn it.

REASON 2: Your team made the assumption you were going to be support and now they're not covered.

REASON 3: Depending on how much time you were on support, you could be wasting a potential support Ult for your team (This train of thought applies to any role or character, the more you switch characters the less likely you are to get to utilize an Ult for your team)

BEFORE YOU MAKE THE SWITCH! consider a few things...

THOUGHT 1: Where is your current Ult gauge? If it's over 60-70% of the way full, strongly consider utilizing it first and then switching to a DPS character on your next death.

THOUGHT 2: If the goal is to be useful, are you prepared to play a full match in hopes that someone else will see the importance of support?

THOUGHT 3: If the enemy team has a healer, they are statically more likely to win the engagement if your team doesn't have a support.

SIDE THOUGHT BUT IMPORTANT THOUGHT: If the team wasn't good enough to keep its support alive, what makes you think they can keep a rogue Gatlynn/Diggy alive?... just throwing that out there.

I don't want to discourage you from trying support, but there's a lot of weight on your shoulders for being support.

Hope this helps,
Dr.TANKi

Playing with supports is really cool! So you have to heal them all as quickly as you can and at the same time, you won't even get kill.😑

T3 arena hero concept (Support) codename: crimson heir
I notice the abundance of DPS player and severe shortage of Vanguard and especially Support player. So I decide to migrate DPS players to support. Description : Support that plays like DPS, damaging enemies to heal teammates. Health: 5600 Gun (Crimson SMG) : automatic, hitscan weapon with medium damage fall-off(reminiscent of Iris gun pre-rework). Damage: 280 ammo capacity: 50 Ability 1 (vital reap) : Mark a teammate, everytime you deal damage, heal that teammate(headshot gives increased healing), only 2 marks can appear simultaneously. Heal: 210 Healing multiplier: 150% Duration: ∞

You never know when will a support will actually save you...
I know that the outro skill of havoc Rover saved my butt but imagine when Verina pulling that trigger. I don't even have a proper build for her yet, and I can tell she's very amazing! I hope you enjoy this moment! <3
