It’s safe to say that since season four of Overwatch 2, the support role has been the most overpowered and game defining role. This came after numerous nerfs to tank and dps heroes like Roadhog, Sojourn, Zarya, and Genji, as well as numerous buffs to the support heroes themselves. Over time, the supports became ungodly overpowered and straight up game ruining for people like tank players against Ana-Zen.

But, if we nerf these support heroes in any meaningful way (not with cooldown timer reductions), they’ll become fresh food for flanker and dive heroes yet again. A complete and total rework of the support role and heroes is necessary unless they readd the off tank, which is never gonna happen. I wish it was a simple as “just nerf the supports”, but it unfortunately isn’t.
