A clip of a Genji player’s ultimate getting easily outhealed by a single support has sparked a massive debate in the Overwatch 2 community.
Balance in Overwatch 2 has always been a hot topic amongst players. Various metas come and go, and certain Heroes or mechanics dominate the meta. However, support has been an extremely powerful role for a long time, leading to debates about whether it is the best role in the game.
Support has become one of the most popular roles as players discovered the power of doing damage and healing simultaneously with heroes like Baptiste, Zenyatta, and Illari often dealing more damage than their DPS counterparts. This has led to a debate on the power of support characters in the game.
The heated debate was sparked when a Genji player named Hiku was unable to kill a single support with his ultimate. This led to widespread discussion within the Overwatch 2 community about the balance between support and DPS characters in the game.
Hiku, a renowned Genji main, attempted a standard flank on an Ana in the backline with his ultimate. However, the Ana was able to get her heal grenade off before getting stunned, and with a Kiriko in ultimate mode, they easily outhealed the damage from Genji’s ultimate, rendering it ineffective.
The debate on social media mostly showed support for the Genji player, with few arguing against the balance issue between support and DPS characters in the game. However, balancing Genji remains a challenge for developers due to his mechanics and the potential for snowballing through the enemy team.
Other clips have also showcased support players outhealing substantial damage from DPS characters, raising questions about whether the developers will consider nerfing supports in the game.
As the community awaits further development from the game’s developers, the delicate balance of Overwatch 2 remains a central focus for players and developers alike.
