Which games feature fun support characters?

>>389786271
A little game i like to call heroes of the storm

>>389786572
It is hard to get into like league of legends or easier?

please elaborate on the support aspect

>>389786271
define support

>>389786271
Grover and mal damba are far more fun.

>>389786921
It's pretty easy to get into. There are various support characters in the game who can buff, debuff, stun, help lane push, and help positioning. The overall mechanics are pretty easy to get, but knowing what talents work best against which characters help out.

That's because all the carries were boring.

>>389794821
>>389792827

Dawngate died way too young.
It had its ideas fucking down.

Carry and support in its traditional dota meaning is stupid. It doesn't work because support isnt nearly as fun or rewarding.

Making everyone work the same in terms of "Gold" and "Level" gain, but some heroes are dedicated to damage and others are dedicated to buffing and debuffing or disabling etc. makes so much more sense

I recon maldamba is probably better at some situations, but grohk is fun and I have only seen him used like 3 times in comp (Im level 90)

>>389796069
Grohk is a damage dealer with some sustain, compare him with Soldier from OW.

>>389796045
Oh man hots was great, seriously too bad they didn't listen to the pros at beginning and didn't start making character faster enough. A moba with a pitiful roster is unacceptable. They're doing it but seriously seeing all those promos with OW and shit it seems like it's not going good for them..
the same is going to happens to overwatch i believe. Just like Smite is to Hots (better and more populars), how surprising would it be if paladins has a better competitive environment than it? And it's happening, OWL league is so cancerous while the paladins league is actually going really well, like the team that retired from the OW league actually have one in the paladins league, it's insane. OW competitive future is very unsafe atm.

Mal Damba > Ghrok > Grover > Jenos > Ying > Seris > Pip
In terms of fun to play.

I really liked the idea of Beatrix in Battleborn since she's a support that doesn't necessarily heal, I wish games could come up with more "supports" that actually support in other ways than simply healing.

>>389795785
We're gonna start getting alot fewer champs now
IIRC they wanted to get to 38 by the end of the year and after that it'll be even slower.

>>389796498
Yeah Pip is ass, he is supposed to play like a flanker but his cooldown is too long for that shit.

>>389795603
Grohk is great if there's a Ying on the opposing team, because her illusions are an easy conduit for shock pulses

Mal damba is such a great character, at first I didn't like him at all, not only he looked kind goofy he felt too weak and weird to play, but with time he became one of my favorites characters in any game, it's incredible how much he rewards player skill and mastery.

Medivh is pretty much a support that relies solely on utility and well timed invulnerability-shields, not a single heal in his kit. He's so finicky to play that he's classified as a "specialist" even though he's obviously a supporter.

>>389796785
it's 1 champ a month now, really it's still very fast. I haven't seen how much is the time between new gods in smite but honestly at this point when you have more than 50-60 character it's okay to slow it down a little, but it's normal in a MOBA to expect a tons of playable character to have huge counterplay potential to any meta, like if X character is unpicked maybe Y meta will rise and X character will be found out and picked against this one creating a dynamic meta as character that counter it are being experimented by the community.
i also say that because i FUCKING HATE MIRROR MATCH REEEEE THERE'S TOO MUCH MIRROR MATCH IN OVERWATCH IT IS MAKING ME CRAZY I HATE PLAYING AGAINST MY OWN CLONES IT'S BORING WINSTON VS WINSTON IS TERRIBLY BORING STOP IT

Sometimes I wonder how good HotS actually is. I'm kinda tired of Dota's bland cast of heroes, are HotS's heroes better at being more diverse?

Well I haven't played Dota myself but I can say that HotS has really interesting and fun heroes.

At the danger of being called a shill; HotS is still HotS, the playstyle and gamefeel is still the same as it always was, more about planning and strategy and less about clutch excecution and adrenaline rushes. But once you get used to it you'll start appreciating the gameplay more. Its not really worse than anything, just completely different design philosophy, so I don't know how well you'll transition.

Strix is going to be nerfed to shit next patch. Goddammit Low-Rez.

Heroes of the Storm is a love it or hate it flavor but I appreciate that they have heroes who specialize in MAD PUSHING and if your team plays around it and you're decent(i.e. you help when the team fights matter and don't get distracted pushing/mercing or get picked off a lot) you're a good slot. And don't start with Abathur, he is a very challenging acquired taste.

Grover is MY tree my dudes. He's.. so.. damn.. fun to play. Like, when i was a noob i was thinking "geez he's only a spam your axes character" but then i finally used the vines and discovered the path to fun. A mobile as fuck character where vertical height count for his damage scaling that can outsnipe Kinessa and Strix a root that can fuck with anyone even if they have resilience, the stop is enough to put them at a disadvantage with the three hundred HP damage that also gives me a speed boost with a my deck, decent heals to not wait for the aftercombat heal to pop in that happens to heal your teammate but get shit on by cauterize but it's okay because you can vines away and heal without cauterize on you.
not only that, but he's a tree throwing fucking axe, as if he was saying "TAKE YOUR DAMN AXE OFF MY FRIEND YOU ASSHOLE" i thought it was wrong for him to throw axe and incoherent but now i see it more like him killing his enemy with their own weapons, hence the vines on the axe too.

Oh right, that's why he has been nerfed exactly 4 times consecutively, this patch and the three other before.

Grover is not a healer, he's an hybdrid between a damage champion, he just happens to have an healing ability. Just like Pip. or Grohk.
Seris healing force her to commit for it, that's why she's a decent healer but can't be called "best" healer because she's not DPS and Healer like Damba and Jenos.

Everything about him. in his backstory he's supposed to be a delusional guy pretending that he's a god with shit about stars and space itself, but he really was a god below Damba when he cames in game. I'd say DPS wise he was worse than Damba and healing wise was on par with him with only 1 healing ability as opposed to Damba's 2. He also have HUGE MOBILITY.

>>389801224
He's like Pip in grohk in the sense that he's healing is not enough. It's been a while but i now forgot the terms off-healer, so yes, he's a offhealer like Grohk (he's relatable to Zen in overwatch). But if you play grover, you cannot play him as a healer, his heals is not enough and as a poster said, his healings are ENTIRELY negated when the enemy have cauterize that also applys to his ultimate.

You don't need to kill them if you never die anyway. They will end up getting nicked to death eventually.

>>389802596
The enemy team was dumb enough to have auto buy on or consciously buy wrecker, he's probably fighting brainlets who will do no damage regardless of class.

>>389802596

>everyone says Skye is the worst hero in the game
>she's the only flank I can kind of play
How do I git gud with flank characters, /v/?

>>389786271
Heroes of the Storm before they nerfed the shit out of every good healer.

>>389803231
Learn to aim.
Skye is a pubstompers, so get on the game and start playing another character if you wish to go high in the ranking. Otherwise she shit on silver and bronze and maybe gold a bit.

>>389803231
The first (obvious) step is to keep to the namesake and actually flank their team. Some have it harder then others, but a lot of the time you'll see the really bad flanks tickling the frontline from the front.

Second is to prioritize targets.

Third >>389803492
Most flanks are pubstompers when played by someone not stupid or against stupid people.

>>389803231
Learn to aim, flick and read the enemy team. Look for their weakness and only go in if you can actually kill someone.

>>389803896
>>389803817
>>389803492
I'll complete that by saying that Androxus and Lex are the best flanker in this meta where Flank are sadly weak, so if you really wish to flank and be efficient, pick them. For lex, don't forget that his spread go to shit after the third bullet.

>>389803492
A really good Skye is a nightmare in higher tiers too. She can quickly suicide dive your healer and fuck shit up

>>389804128
>Androxus
>good flank
Unless you have heads will roll and can get headshots 100% of the time, he's pretty fucking shit.

Sombra is pretty fun.

>>389804316
Umm this is a Paladins thread now. Don't post Overmeme gibberish here.

Honestly, kind of a meme answer, but Overwatch supports are pretty fun. Lucio used to be boring as shit but he's actually fun since the rework, and Mercy is going the same way. Zen's fun, Ana is kinda frustrating since the damage nerf but fun, and once you get to non-shitter tiers, you can start playing Sombra as support.

>>389794950
Aisling and Sven are REALLY fun. And Voden even thought he's kinda ass and not a real support.

>>389804523
Mercy is objectively boring and not fun. Stop pretending her "rework" will be making her any more skillful or engaging to play, because it's not going to do that. It's making playing her even more braindead and give her another free escape after Guardian Angel that magically fix her positioning if she fuck it.

Yeah Mercy is utter ass right now, but it's pretty clear you haven't actually played the rework. She needs to get in close for res now and has actual positioning challenges and decision making now, instead of just hide and seek. There's going to be a lot of shit mercies getting punished for mistakes now which almost never happened before.

Mercy's whole design is a mistake, but you can blame Tf2 for that.

The resolution here is fine, but the cards are:

Savagery 3
Street Cred 1
Patch Up 3
Walk it off 4
Chase 1

All flank are shit but at least andro can still be picked at higher play.

Medic is infinitely more enjoyable and fun than Mercy.
I played the new Mercy. It's the same garbage except that res is now on a 30 sec cooldown that can get reset with ult and continue otherwise. The only decisionmaking she has to do is who to rez up.
It apply to everyfuckingcharacter at different scale damn it, why do mercy mains act like positioning, timing, decision making is only something THEY have to do? Do you know how hard it is to play Winston and not get shredded instantly after your dives, continuing to tickle or not, chasing or not, using your ult or not, What is the best position to dive in so you can escape if it's getting confusing? Or Sombra? Or Torbjorn? Or junkrat? Fucking hell, Their scales of decisionmaking and brain nerves necessary are superior than Mercy for one.
This bothers me because
- Mercy main get in GM, my town
- If their shitty character is already picked, they pick another character they have not played, be it two days ago or never, so they actually play likes bronze.

PLAY ANA YOU SCRUB
PLAY FUCKING ZEN AND LUCIO

It's hard to be an Ana main with the nerf.
