I'm a high silver - low gold support main, and i already know we're going to lose i see an enemy pick Reaper/Anran/Genji/Sombra because it takes them one good flank and our team has fallen apart permanently. I duo with my high bronze - low silver husband who's a tank main, and we've talked multiple times about this, and he said that i just shouldn't expect him to peel for us constantly and to pick up the slack because it's impossible for him to make plays and create space.

I stopped playing my most played heroes (Juno, LW, Mercy) and just started maining Moira because atleast i can be fine in a ton of 1v1s and even make my own flanks to annoy or solo the enemy backline. Even if this is working well, i feel like i don't know how to deal with flankers on a fundamental basis. This is low elo so obviously i won't and shouldn't expect my dps to deal with them.

Should i actually be trying to 1v1 flankers as a backline support and it's just a skill issue, or should i keep asking my husband to peel for me?

This is going to be a little word vomit and I might seem like I am jumping between things but I am just thinking as I go this isn't a well thought up written post but here's how it is

I am flat out a bronze player and I am very aware of my skill set and where I should be playing, I am recently back taking this game seriously after only dicking around in quickplay in 2016-2017

I really enjoy support however not all the heroes appeal to me due to mechanics/design. I love playing Brig when the map and comp work out for it. When I get stuck in poke warfare it's not as fun and I feel like I am a wasted support and I can't get full use of the hero and I also don't know what I can do on Brig when the game becomes two teams poking from a distance that leaves even whipshot not as useful. Sometimes I swap to Mercy sometimes Zen (but I prefer more mobile heroes)

Point is I don't really know if I am just forcing an much worse scenario by trying to force Brig. I might just bounce around in quickplay again and see if I can spend some time trying another round of playing different supports until something sticks but Brig is what I really enjoy (to my own detriment at times)

Lemme know what you guys think, you'll all know/understand a lot more than I would lol

WK5Z9J - dorado game after taking on feedback from the thread

I've had a series of bad days. I haven't rage quitted in many many years but it happened now. I had lost the previous two games and it was the third game of the day on Blizzard World, the enemy team steam rolled us all the way to the third point. Idk why but it made me extremely tilted and I thought to myself "fck this I'm not playing this stupid match". I guess it's cause I was feeling so useless playing tank on that game and I feel like I couldn't do anything. And also what triggered me more was that the enemy team players started typing things like "gg easy" and things like that after the first round.

I went to do some other stuff for a little while and then realized how stupid it was to leave cause who knows how the attack could've gone. I've had tons of games where the situation seems hopeless and the we make a huge come back and win the game.

Any game she's in is just annoying. Her aimbot ability melts you faster than soldiers ult, a grenade plus a few shots melts you even faster, her gun is way too loud even after the reduction in volume, and her ult is stupid. On top of all that if you manage to surprise her to take her out quickly as tracer or reaper she just uses her drone to fly away. She either needs a nerf to her damage or less utility and they need to reduce her gun volume by a bit more.

Hey folks. Im a Plat support player desperately trying to un-hardstuck myself, so I want to preface this with the acknowledgment that I know for a fact my tanks are not the only problem- I make mistakes too, a lot, otherwise Id have climbed by now lol!

But Ive noticed that I get a lot of tanks who love to ego push, go out of LOS of not just myself but the whole team, and just generally feed. They stay alive thanks to us support until they decide to int And us support cant safely follow….yknow? My mains-> Illari, Kiriko, Ana/Wuyang for third

Does anyone else have suggestions for how to try to win anyway even with a feeding or barely present tank?

Edit: thank you everyone for the insight!
