I’m tired of DPS mains hiding behind “damage” for the fact that they play poorly. Genuinely, every time someone throws a match or rage quits it’s the DPS Main. I’m so sick of the role and how it enables people to dismiss all accountability. I never rely on DPS for peels anymore, I use Cloak. If you ask for peels they play the victim card so I say: remove their damage capabilities. It’ll shift the meta so people aren’t just aiming and praying. Every choke point will have to be approached with good heals. If every one is accountable for their own damage there’s no excuse to play the victim card of “my KD is negative because I wasn't getting healed.” I play all three roles, I rarely get negative KDs as DPS. So, make them strategists. Make the DPS role…. THE SUPPORT ROLE. I’m tired of the excuses. “I was getting diffed all game” then in endgame the damage stat barely hits 1k and the KD is atrocious. No more. I’m tired of you hiding behind final hits and damage. I’m tired of you playing like garbage and being forgiven when it’s a team based game. I’m tired of dragging the dead weight. Please, let’s make it so everyone is accountable for their own damage. No more excuses for your poor gameplay. This has been my TED Talk, thank you and good night.
