The Overwatch community is still reeling from the past few months of massive downscaling of power to the game. This has made it harder to play traditional Tanks, but open far more opportunities for using power positions on maps for attack value. The nerfs have had a twofold effect on the Support:Tank relationship, with less healing, tanks suffer when holding bad positioning, but what's more, it rewards a player who knows how to switch priorities to take offensive opportunities which retain their power from previous patches. The new meta is all about Map control and powerful abilities/attacks and Supports, who arguably could've always been described as the strongest role, now have a much higher playmaking requirement as without it, their tankline simply can't hold their ground. So far, it hasn't seemed like most of the community has realized the power shift in the game and where to re-focus our efforts and attention. Support players who play too passively will get overwhelmed by ones that take an active role in playmaking for the team. We'll need more guides to maximize the gamesense on how to enact this playstyle, map control especially, to be sure to not miss out on upcoming guides be sure to click the bell icon to get notiffied when our videos come out!
