Healers are the unsung heroes of Overwatch Time for a controversial statement: healer classes are bad for the meta of FPS games. Dota understood this, that-s why (back when I played at least, there was one item and only a few characters that had burst heals. Those characters had bad mana pools and the one burst heat item was designed to discourage more than one on a team. Most healing was over time for better sustain in contact with the enemy, not for the purpose of increasing durability in a DPS race. I have to bring up games from different genres because so many FPS games get it wrong. I think role queue is evidence of two things: that I-m right and of Blizzard throwing up their hands and admitting they can-t discourage three tank three healer by any means other than either making the healers pointless or, as they-ve done, disallowing it via rules.\r\n

i like this video, but some things about it confuse me:
1. the timing, like why upload a video on OWL now, during the off-season
2. if you're gonna do a video on the impact of support players in OWL, you can't go without mentioning JJONAK'S impact on Zenyatta in season 1, he was voted MVP of the entire thing for a reason.
3. the pronounciation of Gamsu's gamertag
4. while support sometimes feels like a thankless role, the support players in OWL are very popular and highly regarded (JJONAK, Moth, Ryujehong, Biggoose to name a few)

Very shortly after playing Overwatch when it first came out I realised Zenyatta was going to be my favourite character, I can can proudly say I've gotten the most play of the game and have won the most amount of games when playing this character. I never thought I would enjoy playing another character more until Moira came out. Can confidently say I'll be a support player for life.

OWL would be less confusing to watch if they gave healer P. O. Vs more screentime. Healers have to know everything that's going on, so watching their screens will be much more informative of a developing situation than zooming out to a bird's eye view of the point.

Out of all the plays in overwatch League this is the one that gets an in depth breakdown? They over complicate the explanation way too much. It's not that crazy of a play to sleep a Winston and resurrect a pharrah with valkyrie - oh polygon bless your souls
reply

The best part about playing pure healer is the godawful rank you get. Blizzard made the game so you will ALWAYS get litterally the least rank points if you play healer. Making people either not want to play healer or just quit the game forever, like I did.
reply

As a support main for life, even simply being acknowledged feels validating. Someone make a Support Affirmation ASMR video. It could say things we never hear, like
-Thanks for the healing. -
-Couldn-t do it without you. -
-You carried the team. -

I haven't played Overwatch yet because I am under the impression that it's basically like Fortnite or Warframe and I have played both of those and didn't really care for either of them.
And Blizzard is not a good company nowadays anyways.

reply

The editing SUCKS. Why are there so many cuts? One guest could have explained everything. The wide angle shots i get you have a sponsor, but why cut in and out when their isn't a lot of tension being built anyway.
reply

Im not that good at games in general. Im pretty average. So being able to excel in a support position, where I dont have to be in the frontlines, is really refreshing for me
reply

Unsung? The DPS are so basic in the Game, an entire meta dominated for over a year without them. Healers rule overwatch which is why they're always in contention.
reply

games should not be made with healers in mind because it become the meta and it such a niche wanting to play healer it should have the same status as a niche role.
reply

Incorrect
A Doomfist ult could never wipe a team unless that team is trying to get wiped and even then I would still be impressed if it actually happened

reply

I love simone-s videos cause pat and Brian can be extremely fun but simone-s videos are so calming and nice to listen to while still having some really funny moments
reply

G's are pronounced like C's in Korea so Camsu is technically correct right? I know GodsB is pronounced like CatsB is Contenders, that's all I'm going off of.
reply

I love it when I am Moira and i got gold medals for damage, kills and objective time. Like what are the others even doing except expecting me to heal them?
reply

A shout out here to to the seemingly 5 other main tank players remaining on the EU servers that aren't myself. You guys are the unsung, unsung heroes
reply

0: 46 this woman says he was there from 2016 witch is 10 years ago.
its 2020 not 2026 so he could not have been part of that for 10 years only 4

reply

Great video but I wish the chick commentating was just a tiny bit more informed on the game. Very glad you guys did bring in professional casters though
reply

'esports play analysis filtered through the Polygon style of editing and cracking jokes' is a niche I needed filled without ever knowing. Thanks for this!
reply

The fact that I needed a 10 minute video telling me why a 15 second play was impressive is a good example as to why I don't bother with the Overwatch League
reply

Talking about Overwatch in any light other than -The game that fueled the fire that is the literal burning of Hong Kong- is not very cash money.
reply

Holy shit! That took me a second! I knew he was familiar! Seth is friends with Dom Fera a. k. a. Dominic Fear! What a wild place to find him.
reply

Being a support is not only focusing on where the enemy is and how to avoid them but also where your own team is and how to save them.
reply

I wish I could have enjoyed this video more, especially with all the time I-m sure was put into it. Though I really gotta say, liberate HK.
reply

Internet/media/memes: healers don't get enough credit
Everyone after 1 lost game: -the fastest 'dps sucks' in the entire wild west-

reply

As someone's who's been a support as long as i can remember this made me smile. We don't beg for the spotlight but we like to get noticed
reply

Besides there literally being a song about how you need a healer on your team in Overwatch. But yeah, they are underappreciated.
reply

I-ve been a support main for over three years. -strained smile-
I play it because I love to suffer and because it is a challenge.

reply

I wish there were more simone videos in general but especially ones where she talks about her opinions on shit. I miss those
