Overwatch 2 has reached everyone’s lips, and its launch was welcome news for many players who have been looking for a free multiplayer game to play for hours and hours. Despite all the obstacles, the game has proven itself to be a success, breaking the barrier 25 million players In just 10 days. Now, the community has faced a huge problem of matchmaking between players.
Everything is born from Post on Blizzard ForumsHere, players have been complaining about times finding matches with class selection conditions. The problem is that almost no one chooses the support role (support or therapist), and this makes it difficult to find games. Presumably because of the bad reviews of gamers who have the main processor for allegedly “no support”.
The support category is disapproved in the Overwatch 2 community.
It will definitely happen to you in games of this style like League of Legends, Overwatch 2 or DOTA 2; That is, a support role is seen as one that you work in and do not enjoy. The idea of having to play other teammates attack and eliminate players seems boring at first, and rightly so, there aren’t many who play Mercy for fun. Furthermore, there is also a state of toxicity that attacks master healers, rendering them useless and not fulfilling their role. This becomes a snowball that eliminates the desire to play.
There are a lot of people out there who would like to play support (I am one of them) – another commenter on the Blizzard forum said – but I think the real issue is whether or not it is possible to play support in pub matches in the current climate of the game
We’re going to put together a specific case to contextualize ourselves in the multiplayer game Overwatch 2. You enter a game and have to be supportive, and you choose Mercy to recover the tank and decide to follow him everywhere. Almost immediately, what is supposed to be a shield against enemy projectiles, becomes a kind of assault tank, jumping into the crowd and instantly dying; Then he blames you for not treating him.
Let’s go with another case, now you are the tank and you want them to give you support. One of the healers is Moira, and instead of healing, she begins to attack and is disconnected from her healing function. These instances are very frequent in multiplayer, which while not all bad, since the game is all about fun, people’s general frustration is understandable.
Now, all this leads to the fact that no one uses these support characters, leaving queues of about 5 minutes per game. Or, on the contrary, in more casual games the teams are unbalanced and no one wants to recover.
There are nearly 200,000 people watching OW2 on Twitch right now. I am sure he is not dead. Processor tail died.
The community hopes that Kiriko’s strategy will be successful in encouraging players to experiment with support characters. In Overwatch 2, being a “new” game, there should be a different procedure with the support role for players to take care of that role; For example, take advantage of the battle card.
