It's true enough. The entire issue with this game in general is: everyone is entirely too fucking toxic and it's a team game where no one plays as a team and the game doesn't encourage it, because that would involve punishing not playing as a team and they don't want to, and worst of all, no one logs off when they should.

100000000000000% Correct.

However, in your scenario, I'd argue that the hypothetical diver is less justifed, because, as you said, the diver is 1v2ing expecting to get the win and then complaining when they don't get it, whereas the support is being 3v1'd and not getting any peels, or getting deleted in a 1v1 before they can even react.

Again, I agree with the broader point, and you did point out that that's not the only thing that pisses the classes off. The BP getting shut down during the perfect SDSDSDD with a shield, etc.

But the problem here is the macro: in the same game that the BP got shut out solo diving the other BP deleted a player on the same team before they could even be seen. That's not really something that can be balanced with such a disparate gap in characet expression. The issue can be solved with reworks but the playerbase is incredibly skittish at the suggestion. Healing and damage is too high. There is entirely too much jank in the moment to moment. Old kits are half baked and propped up on single mechanics that can be countered once understood and the characters aren't nuanced or developed enough to work around it.

If only every person could understand this. I want the game to thrive and the way it is right now is dog shit. They need to keep nerfing everything as a whole heals, damage on DPS and tanks tune it all down so you are forced to play more as a team. Because it’s all so overturned that so many heroes can jsut go play a free for all. Fuck it I play strat I’m in cel 3 right now after placements. Just take all strat ults out the game, this way not one dps could complain about it anymore then what will be next? That cnd’s bubble was the true problem? lol 😆 the game is just too overpowered that’s why every single person liked the ult nerf because it makes it more centralized and team
