Since a read a ton of comments that moira should be buffed in terms of dps: Moira does NOT need a damage buff, neither her orb, nor her right click, and for daddy jeff's sake definitely not her ultimate.
she's perfectly fine. I would even say it's the first time I think blizzard actually released a balanced hero. Well done blizzard!

Ana should not have gotten buffed as well...
In my opinion even zen and lucio deal too much damage for support heroes, they're (off)healers/supports, not DPS heroes... but actually both do a shitton of damage. Which is not wrong because they heal through passives, but since they are "allowed" to spam their right/left clicks and still heal, it's too much in general
(I'm not mentioning symm here because in my opinion she's more like a defense hero instead of a support. also: she's the devil^^)

And yes, I do play support myself, I often play Zen, Ana (and you bet Moira from now on)
I know, that by giving them the ability to deal damage as well blizzard want to make them more attractive to play, but that's kind of the wrong way...

How often did I die as rein because ana stopped healing me after nanoboosting and decided to 1v1 360 no scope madame lacroix when I go in...
or mercy went mary poppins battlewitch madmax edition after using valkyrie (even after they nerfed her dmg again back then, but some ppl still think her dps is boosted while flying and go full retard),
or single healer lucio went off to give some concerts in the enemy spawn when we could have needed his ult on the point just because he decided to chase that 10HP I need healing cyborgweeb ninja across the map.
the examples are countless ^^

Coming back to my original point: supports do NOT dmg buffs, people need to play them "correctly" instead

so, I beg you, if you people select healers then PLEASE do heal and support ! your tanks and dps need you... <3

 

[Lorenzo Hamilton]

As a Lucio mane i would never throw a concert for genji.

 

[Myrian Ramirez-Fernandez]

Moira needs to not exist actually

 

[Ruki Kenishiro]

If i play healer, it is always Lucio. i think i going to main Moira now, she is so much fun!

 

[Carlos Rangel]

Zen is a support in the sense that he increases the teams overall damage, ana is a heal specialist by providing tons of heals and denying heals to the enemy teammate, lucio is best for his speed boost and his aura can help out in a chaotic fight, mercy has the ability to fix a potential game changing kill with Rez and can increase someone’s sustain by pocketing them with heals and damage

The world does not revolve around you, bud. Your opinions on what is and is not correct mean jack shit all.

Not all supports play the same. Taking down the enemy pharah as Ana when your team is short on hit-scan heroes is a very valid way of "supporting" your team.

Taking down flankers that are coming for your backline as Mercy/Zen is a very valid way of "supporting" your team.

Do some support players take it to extremes and start playing like DPS heroes? Sure there are some. But just because a support is a support doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to deal any kind of damage.

Sometimes you've just gotta take down that pesky Pharmercy and your Soldier isn't able to do it alone.

 

[Madeline Garcia]

The only thing I disagree with is the ult; you don't even do enough damage to damage through a Zenyatta orb

 

[Travis Doyle]

ana is uniquie as with her sleep dart as her only defense tool she needs to secure a kill or die herself. as a sniper it is warrented to o a dmg boost as her 6 and i repeat SIX shots have to count either healing or getting some damage out.

 

[Benson Flanagan]

for anyone disagreeing.
HER DAMAGE IS AMAZING FOR A SUPPORT.
a max of 100 damage per second kills support and offense in like 2 SECONDS.
meaning all you have to do is heal, flank supports for resource then jump back to team and heal.
Alternatively you can sit behind your tank and damage whatever its attacking for resource, especially if thats an enemy tank. its also a big help for your tank with 100 damage a second when youre out of resource.

 

[Jerry Chrysostome]

^Off cooldown her damage is 50 DPS. If your orb hits all 6 enemies it's not gonna do the full 100 extra damage to kill supports. The "100 DPS max" is extremely conditional. Additional the supports can heal through that if there are two.

 

[Benson Flanagan]

^ hence why i said "max damage"

 

[Benson Flanagan]

and who has 6 supports

 

[Benson Flanagan]

you only need to kill supports for resource

 

[Benson Flanagan]

you can only target one enemy with a beam though so you can only do 100 to one enemy but that was the point. killing one enemy in 2 seconds is amazing for a support.

 

[Jerry Chrysostome]

Well yea. But if it's conditional it's not going be worth worrying about. If the team is bunched up, the orb will only do about 33 damage. Idk what you mean by 6 supports. Super ideal conditions, you catch a support by themselves and their abilities are on cooldown than yes the support is dead.

Not to mention barriers and all the other crap that gets in the way.

 

[Benson Flanagan]

she shoots through barriers

 

[Jerry Chrysostome]

The damage beam does not go through barriers.

 

[Benson Flanagan]

no but its still 50. you can just hit behind a tank to charge resource

 

[Benson Flanagan]

the orb goes through

 

[Benson Flanagan]

im just saying that for a support thats amazing
