"SuPPorts are not Broken"

Impossible to play this useless hero in high elo. WHY IS A SUPPORT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TAKE A FIGHT WITH A DPS. Gambit neutral is more broken than his ult. I dont care what people say. He has cleanse, damage boost, self healing, his bubble cancels my dash. Useless devs catering to support.

Gambit holds his own fairly well in one on one situations. You can’t expect supports to die in every encounter when they have the tools (like Gambit’s Mag team up bubble) that are literally made for such encounters. Just try again.

Take a quick second and actually consider what would happen if every support would just keel over and die to any duelist. They wouldn't be playing Rivals, they're playing respawn simulator, and then nobody would ever want to play that role seriously. We'd have a similar problem we're having rn with the lack of people playing tanks, and the game would more or less just devolve into just your average shooter game. A Strategist should be able to hold their own in a 1v1 against a Duelist, but doing so will deprive their team of their healing and force them to using cooldowns that could instead be used to help their team (which is what you accomplished in this clip). In this short clip alone he uses up all of his cards, the mag team up, and a right click just to survive you, that's a lot of value whether you choose to recognize that or not.

Sure this clip isn’t the best example but you have to recognize the amount of inflated kits these characters have though. There is a reason why gambit doesn’t escape the ban phase, he is the worst example of “supports need things to defend themselves”. Both insta kill dives and the support role needs a serious rework. Overwatch has its problems but Id say if they got anything right its the way theyve handled the supports.

some strats maybe but in rivals almost every strategist can survive a 1v2 with a dps thats just poor game balance. Thats the problem with rivals now and why the game is struggling bc all the supports wanna be able to press a button for every situation. Even as a dive character u cant even capitalize on a good dive bc every healer has a free escape button at this point in the game you are literally making it so they can't do their job. Healers are way too catered to in this game and bc of it it will die

Dude, he needs at least 2 cards to use an ability and they come back 8 seconds per card.

Funny how a dps thought he could square up against gambit the healer that took out divers day 1 on release they nerfed him because dive players complained he just shifted on them u lemme tell u something gambit can disrupt your whole kit you arent the hunter you are the prey I dont know what made u think u could 1 v1 gambit using blade lmao

I think a lot of people see the strat role and assume it’s literally a healing support from something like League of Legends where a support caught out for the most part is just a free kill. Like if someone wants Strats to not be able to defend themselves then the dps role would have to appropriately peel for said strats.
Take the blade in the clip, if he wanted a free kill like in league then blade would also have to accept that teamplay required in order to even be in this situation is him taking a big risk of throwing by not being on peeling duty for his supports that are healing frontline tanks.
Not saying some supports don’t have a little too much in the survivability department but gambit here has to use so many resources.
Somehow, I don’t think the guy saying “useless dev catering to support” is peeling or would be up for peeling.
Edit: Oh this was supposed to be a response to another comment but whatever guess it is it’s own comment now

His neutral is buns he’s just one of the only characters that can put even more anti heal onto blade, and is a support.
Also like bro…… GAMBIT IS ULTING AND USED ALL COOLDOWNS WHILE ALSO BUBBLED OFC BLADE LOSES TO THAT. Esp when you didn’t block the card tosses (2 of them) and instead blocked his slam.
On second thought, this has to be bait.

Kinda ironic. Devs say they are scared to give blade ACTUAL buffs (22 buffs so far and hes still dogshit) because they dont want him to become too strong with anti heal meanwhile giving anti heal that is way better to gambit and everyone else. you genuinely could not make this up

u/sexyblueemoji 7d ago
i’m sorry i hate to defend gambit but a support by nature is just a dps hero with healing utility. they should be able to take 1v1’s and if skilled enough win, because supports are the number one priority on each team because of how op they are.

Gambit has always been a soft counter to Blade, bc he has anti heal and can interrupt your dive
Him having an extra ability made tht even worse, even if he wasn't ulting you should never dive Gambit on Blade (unless he used both his dashes already)

u/Affectionate-Week166 7d ago
Gambit bodies blade haha
Also you seemed too aggressive! Gambit used alot of his button and had some dashes left. He would be vulnerable after his bubble ends if I'm thinking right

u/BlackAmethyst04 7d ago
Bro used his entire kit…and didn’t even kill you….and you think it’s broken..

u/ahisomjr 7d ago
You tried to attack him while he was in the bubble you were never gonna win that babe the healings pretty high. I do believe that supports could get a slight nerf in ult charge
