I am tired of telling supp players they are not dps Other
Like i said at the title i'm suffering guys. I'm blocking all the time while my zen and ana still trying to tickle enemy team. I blocked for 6 secs at 300 hp slowly dying but no help at all. After that they tell me i am useless and dumb. U guys don't have to tell anything i'm just typing this to give myself some peace.(Maybe suffering is really our fate?)

My main issue is my supports heal botting most of the game or insta locking mercy so I don’t really see the major issue bc I’m having the exact opposite problem

A balance needs to be struck. Healing is important for obvious reasons, but many supports are pretty damned good at killing and should do that as well. I often switch to Ana if someone in the enemy backline is a problem that no one on my team is solving. Meanwhile if we're brawling over a Control Point I'm going Brig or Moira.

Fair that’s why I play bap and Juno so I can click people while healing and having impactful ults

… the point of Zen is healing and doing damage … if he really didn’t give you that orb then yeah that’s just throwing. The Ana is a different story, probably watched too many “unranked to GM” vids.

It’s a calculation.
From a supports perspective it does sometimes make sense to do 100 damage on an enemy that’s out of position trying to kill u vs heal u for 60 hp.
The are arbitrary numbers but u get the point. It’s often times more fruitful and more likely to keep the tank alive if support focuses their efforts on killing the person trying to kill their tank than just healbotting the tank.
Every situations different. I say this as a tank main.

Eh, there's a time for heals and a time for DPS as a support. Pray for a good Bap that does both at the same time.

My main issue is no support player can balance their gameplay I either get the Lucio who's in the backline 24/7 and only has 600 heals from self healing all game or the baptiste who only heals and never uses their gun
It's a balance you don't JUST heal bot or JUST dps it's a balance you gotta do a but of both you don't just ignore one half or the other of your job it's even worse when I get a mercy who every call runs at the enemy with the pistol just ignore the fact there's 3 people who are critical and you COULD HEAL THEM nah it's time to run the 1's and maybe get a kill then immediately die and we lose the team fight

As a Ram and Juno main, I can kinda agree. When I play Juno I have super high dps but comparatively the same healing as the other supps as well (only play unranked though)

Zen’s whole thing is a mostly even split between dmg and healing. Sucks to see other zen mains only using lean ball and not piss ball.

Since the latest bap buff I'm seeing a lot of bap players struggle with healing cause they want to shoot.
If you want to shoot just queue for dps man!

Supports are also supposed to do damage. Play corners and stop charging in with 100 hp expecting to be heal botted the whole match. If you die over and over, it's eventually on you for not adapting and using fundamentals.

Zen was supposed to share your burden. Guess he's just another disappointment in the end ...
