There’s been a lot of discussion surrounding the strength of the support role in Overwatch 2. At first many thought it was weak compared to other roles and Blizzard themselves have indeed made some changes. The reality is though, supports in Overwatch 2 are really really really…really strong and if anything, what’s needed is an adjustment by the players to figure out how to prosper in the 5v5 world of Overwatch 2.

Am I the only one who really likes playing support in OW2? I've never hit so many anti nades in my life – E
Omg yes finally someone says it! I love playing support and play it more like DPS but I always feel under appreciated. Like damn I kept all y'all alive AND got 22 kills? That's not even supposed to be my job give me my props!
Lol Blizzard just released a developer update which states GM supports have a 15% higher death rate than in the live game. You still think the problem is simply "you're positioning sucks, get good?"
this is such a shit take i cant even undrestand why this video exist in the first place , saying that supports players are bad because they were cowering behind shields in ow1 is so wrong on so many levels , especially since theyre the one getting dived by tracers , genjis , dooms and winstons , and theyre the one who have to chase their tanks if theyre feeding or when they put themselves in a bad position , actually ana is so effective now because of the lack of sheilds since she can hit basically every nade with ease , which is an almost fight winning ability , im not saying supports heroes should get mega buffed , just give them tools to escape , saying that anas should hit every sleep with 100% is absurd ,and branding players who couldnt do that as "bad at the game" is even more ridiculous .
sorry for the bad grammar 😀
Supports have such massive egos in ow1 hopefully now they get humbled
You don't need to worry about healing your team when your enemy is dead
Youtube algorithm isn't bad.. You are.
Needlessly aggressive hot take that it designed to drive views. It's what I've come to expect from Your Overwatch. Pedantry and criticism is fine but gatekeeping and making insane assumptions/generalizations about the 'people' that play a role (read: not the role itself) is gross. This video is gross. Unsubbed and won't be missed (which goes both ways I'm sure).
Eddy came back to call us all out on being bad because Freedo is too nice to do it.
Support are not fun that's all, when I play a video game I don't want to be a victim or a servant, I want to have fun, team play only exists for 0.2% of players, so when genji kills me, i'm not having fun, so i play DPS, its all.
What do you know, Blizz's data shows that supports are actually significantly weaker than the other roles, even at high level. Anyone with half a brain could have seen this, but nope, had to get the hot take from someone that clearly doesn't know what they're talking about 🙂
Imagine being this arrogant and smug.. Hope you don’t break your legs jumping off that high horse..
LOL you think DPS gets blamed for losses more than support? You’re delusional..
No one wants to play support, the queue times prove this. It’s not just because it’s hard, or not fun but how toxic people are towards you when you’re playing support in ladder..
I’d bet you don’t play with normal people, you probably only play with your GM friends. The real world is completely different.
great video with some great humour too, awesome job! subscribed 🙂
I have exclusively played support in ovw2, and I love it. I don't want to go back to ovw1.
The devs disagree ….
Their dev blog said there was:
Higher percentage of deaths and less healing in higher ranks than lower ranks.
The term "Get gud" makes no sense now
How would he know if supports are being carried?…he hasnt played in years.
Man… when the music plays and you instantly know it's an Eddy video, you know it's a good fucking video
nobody's gonna mention that Eddie is back after like 3 years?
ANA 2 SHOTS SQUISHIES…. SHE PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH….
GOD I MISSED YOU! I have been saying all of these things… Jesus we finally have someone willing to shout back at the echo chamber
Thanks for the tough love. I'm a support player who needed to hear this.
I've watched a few of your videos and you complain about how so many heroes are oo, but never mentioned how broken junkrat has been such a cheesecake of a hero since overwatch. Please explain this if you are man enough?
A ton of copium in this video
OW1 = team based game, think up strategy, cooperative game play, counter play, outplay enemy formations.
OW2 = Shoot/Kill 1st, think later. Less shield, less tank, more DPS for almost every character. Who need formation when firepower is everything. Oh and your character are just more generic since they lost all the unique and paper rock scissor mechanics.
Side note-
Video: "If a good player makes a support look like a best most important character, who is left to blame?" As if a tank or DPS in the hand of good player won't look like a best most important character?
Just a matter of comparison:
Bow and crossbow is both a weapon yet only crossbow are illegal to have. Why is that? Because bow requires ton of training to even use it effectively while anyone than can pull the trigger can use a crossbow and kill someone.
In the state of OW: Tank role and DPS role got a least a few "bow" type characters for high skill ceiling player and a few "crossbow" type characters which less skilled player can use to an effective rate. But in support, the only "crossbow" character are Mercy and maybe Moira. Ana, Lucio, Brig (especially she lose the shield bash), Bap, and Zen require more skill to be effective in their role (be it healing or popping a ability/ult in a crucial moment).
OW2: Buff tank, buff DPS. Support? Here's some self healing (if you manage to survive all those constant flanking dueler) and I will take away most of your CC abilities. 🙂
ive kinda always felt like Ana was pretty broken in OW1. Ana brings so many different effects to the table on top of great healing per second. i refuse to believe anyone actually thought she was bad. the only thing holding her back is her mobility and the quality of her tank players. i have similar feelings about Bap but as long as he's competing with Ana i dont feel he has as much of a place.
there are a few supports im a little worried for going into OW2. im mostly worried about zen since he's always seemed like a sitting duck unless he's going to panic ult and his whole purpose is to bring discord and some mediocre healing. Ana does strictly more than him. same with mercy aside from mercy's movement Ana is still totally outclassing her.
so i guess im less worried about supports being "bad" and more about are they going to be worth using compared to the more loaded supports.
“Supports aren’t bad you are” title of the immediate next video: “blizzard is fixing the support role” hmmm sounds like even you know this videos some bs 🤡
