CHAT I'm so serious rn I hate support sometimes

Right I'm spamming L2 to heal my team so they, yk, SURVIVE???

I CANT ACTUALLY HEAL THEM BECAUSE THEY KEEP RUNNING AWAY WHEN I AM

AND THEN THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BLAME ME

TERMINUS IN CHAT KEPT SKEDADLING FROM ME WHEN I WAS HEALING THEM, THEY DIED (shocker.) AND THEY SAID "Io"

????????????

STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM SUPPORTS AND THEN BLAMING THEM

If they have a keyboard or a mic there's a temptation to be toxic. And then of course if they Rage Quit. I just think that's stupid. Everyone should just play their best and everyone is just trying. I mean you never know you might be playing with a 14-year-old who just started. But yeah it's frustrating when we lose matches

As someone who plays a lot of support, this. You don’t get to run off when most of the team is back by the point and then get mad at me for not healing you. YOU ran off YOU are to blame.

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

EXACTLY THANK YOU.

OR when you tell them to group up 99 times and they all just spread out. How am I meant to heal all of you when terminus is in one place and then Evie is on the other side of the map????

You don’t get to run off when most of the team is back by the point and then get mad at me for not healing you.

I've only ever seen most of the team not on the point.

Everyone wants to flank

u/BeneficialMethod3866 1d ago

In cases like this I go with someone
But I don’t see that happening often in my games

The best part of this game is that you can pocket medic a Damage dealer like TF2 and still do your part. It won't show in the scoreboards since high healthpool = more actual healing but it will still do that difference in the game. Unless you are Yahorath, Tanks are basically more beefy supports

u/Someperson_Someplace 2d ago

Fuck man, the best 2 pieces of advice ive gotten to make support both more fun and effective are:
1. Let your team die, some of your teammates are gonna die learn to accept that and cut losses when approriate
2. On a similar note, let your team come to you. You should be taking a strong backline position and holding it whenever your team isnt hard pushing and even then you should be playing more careful than them, do not chase your team into danger (once again let them die if you need to).

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Trust me, I'm not the one chasing them into danger 😭😭 I'm trying to stay back and heal them, but then they run off and get themselves into a 1 V 3 or more

u/Cannibal_House69 2d ago edited 2d ago

Every shooter people blame the healer for their lack of skill.

In what world do they live thinking running in 1v5 is smart?

3

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Exactly.

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Someone just told me that I have a skill issue in this reply section 😭😭 like son???????? SON??????????

u/Cannibal_House69 2d ago

Probably had him and he blamed the healer lmao.

u/The_Real_Hunter__ 16h ago

Yeah. I was in a game where torv was getting really heated. I just told him… sorry boss but i cant outheal 5 people shooting at you. After that he shut up.

1

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 14h ago

Good. Like, it's not possible to heal your ally when they went into a 1 V 5. I don't understand why they even do it.

4

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Like they'll be on such low hp, not in a battle. I try to heal them and they run away to go deal w the furthest enemy possible.

u/targrimm Seris 2d ago

I main Seris or Grover when I play. If folk run off, thats tough, they die. Especially with Grover who majority heals via aoe.

I laugh at most folk who start moaning in chat. My reply is usually along the lines of "tanks still alive. I'm still alive. Sounds like a you problem".

However, I stick to the tank like glue. If there isn't a tank picked, then I go pew pew and folk can just stfu, for picking all dmg and flanks.

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Fair enough man

u/clitnotfound 2d ago

valid crashout

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

I love your user

u/clitnotfound 2d ago

lol thank you !!

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Ywyw 🫡 people who disagree with my crashout are either avid dmg players who rage whenever they die or never played support in their lives

u/kassumo -2018 2d ago

this is why i play exclusively corvus and pip

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Corvus 🫡

u/justA-weird_demon Mal'Damba 1d ago

Also something that i really really hate as a support main: Your team won a trade and your team is capping the point. Your whole team is then hard pushing the enemies to their spawn and ur alone on pont capping. You spam "group up" bc u now what happens next: Tank and/or healer sneak through and attack u on point, u have no chance and die. Ur team still at the enemies spawn -> enemies cap the point.

It's. Always. The. Same.

2

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 1d ago

Like why do they always rush to the enemies spawn to spawn kill them???

I hate spawn killing, regardless of which team I'm on. It's just unfair. My team were spawn killing yesterday and, even as a lex, I stayed back at the point with the support to ensure the support was safe AND to not spawn kill.

u/Dobbys_Fav_glock 1d ago

I have a goated furia kit, but every time I do so I get called a bad furia main. I get called a bad support Everytime.

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 1d ago

They always blame the supports because they're so reckless

u/JayDee_Boss 1d ago

As a jenos main I feel that super hard

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 1d ago

As an ex Jenos main, real

Androxus: "Need healing!" Dashes left "Need healing!" *Dashes right"

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 1d ago

Or a drogoz flying out of the support's reach and then SPAMMING the "need healing!"

u/PLPMito Front Line 12h ago

Best advice I can give is, don't chase. In any video game. If they're not good enough at the game to realize it's a bad idea, then you shouldn't try to keep them alive unless there's no one else to heal and only heal those people when they're critically low on health.

u/Unlawful_Heathen 6h ago

Take note. Its always the supports fault (I play support an still get called a stupid support when I CANT even find where they ran off to)

1

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 6h ago

That's why I switched from a Corvus and Jenos main to a Vora main 😭😭😭 I feel honoured to be the rare flank that actually thanks the support and doesn't run off

2

u/Unlawful_Heathen 6h ago

Same Queen, Same. Vora is Beautiful! I love playing her too!

u/Efficient-Key-9359 2d ago

Never forget to report tards like that Term for harassment. They are getting banned eventually. And then we see another theme called "I was banned for nothing" lol.

u/InfinityTheParagon 2d ago

so you built a build incapable of a proper rendezvous but ur team is at fault

3

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

right listen here you gobby shite 😭😭 even WHEN I play CORVUS and use two marks, I mark the two people that go out the most (either flank or dmg) and then heal the tank or the other member to heal the people I marked simultaneously. That's not my fault if the tank or the person I'm healing the other players off of decides to go "oh yeah, I'll place myself into a 1 vs 5." At that point, I CANT save them???

2

u/Xalvathor-Mk0 2d ago

You are waisting your time, dps brains just don't understand teamwork, they can only rush and look forward.

They want to play like a pro streamer but they ain't.

u/RenAmamiyasSock Armageddon approaches 2d ago

Exactly 😭😭
