I can win games as DPS with ****ty healers and tanks so I play DPS.
Yeah, that's pretty much my problem. Not that I'm awesome or anything, but I enjoy playing support characters (mostly Zen and Lucio, but I'm cool with all of them) and feel like I generally have to rely on my team's DPS to win.
My biggest gripe as support is when nobody protects me and I just get demolished repeatedly on the back line. Not that I expect someone to babysit me, but I hate those games where nobody even bothers to try to keep their healers alive.
I need to get better/feel more confident at DPS to move up the ranks. I also need to figure out Reinhardt. He should be so easy to play, but I just stink with him. The one tank I can play well is Zarya.*
*EDIT: I got a nice compliment the other day from an opponent when I played Zarya. Oasis, the map with the pit in the middle that drops down to a health pack. It was overtime and we were protecting the point. A Reinhardt made a last gasp attempt to stall overtime by dropping down from the top left onto the point. I had my ult, so I shot graviton into the wall at his feet, just as he jumped, keeping him floating in mid-air and not letting him touch the point. I was kind of proud of that one.
