@ArchAngeL-PCX Yeah i noticed that support roles on overwatch are deeply unpopular lol.
I generally play bridgette or reinhardt for the exact reasons you've mentioned, i like to control the objective.
Occasionally doomfist on the rare occasion my teams overpopulated with support/tanks.
@MandatoryIDtagI also like playing Reinhardt for the same reason. I'm an objective hound. I don't generally care about personal stats. Reinhardt and Bridgette are two of my most played because of that. Honestly, before they added Bridgette, I was frustrated with the game. It's an objective based game, yet no one wanted to play the objective and a lot of characters encourage that.
I will say though, I've even successfully held the escort car objectives and such with Widowmaker lol. It can be done, you just gotta want it!!! lol!! That's what characters like Bridgette want to know. How bad do you want it? It's like people don't realize all you gotta do is get in front of it to contest, or they are too concerned with stats or something to do it.
@ArchAngeL-PCX Exactly haha, that's partly why i play doomfist if i'm forced to play to play dps. He's an absolute menace with the high mobility and powerful burst dps attacks,makes point control easy from an aggressive standpoint. Hell even pharah is good for it with those concussion shots.
You're exactly right about stat hoarders on overwatch though. Apex shares this issue in a different manner though and i would say its overall more problematic on apex due to the lack of continuous respawns that a standard fps offers. Obviously i'm not saying making it easier to respawn is the solution for apex...that defies the genre.
Basically put though as long as people feel they are defined by their stats and there isn't enough done on respawns part to promote teamplay then we'll forever see hot dropping rage quit rambo's and similar antics.
@Sir_Named I bought it again a couple of months back and played it for a few days, i haven't been on since before sigma and echo were introduced.
I was meaning to play some more while i waited for this season to draw to a close however i ended up on destiny 2 and TF2 instead. I may jump on tomorrow and give them a try, i'll get back to you on that one. 😛
