If I’m playing a support character like Lifeline or Caustic and I deal only 400 damage but revive my teammates 10 times and keep them healed, does that compensate for my low damage contribution? Hypothetically, if our team had 5 kills with a total of 2,000 damage, and another player scored 4 kills with 1,300 damage, how does my low damage impact our overall performance versus the value I’ve provided by supporting my team?

Good point! Supporting is key, but 400 damage is pretty low. If you find you’re reviving a lot but still can’t keep up in damage, maybe you’re not in the right position or the right character. Focus on helping out with damage too, that way when you revive them, they appreciate it even more!
Honestly, if you’re only doing 400 damage, it might mean you’re not really helping out enough in fights. If your team is continually fighting 2v3 and you’re not pitching in with damage, it could be frustrating for them. Have you tried to adapt your gameplay to support but also deal damage when possible? That way, your revives and heals mean a lot more, too.
Exactly! If you’re contributing with damage, then your reses will feel more impactful to the team.
I mean, it’s all about how you see your role in the game. Rescuing teammates and keeping them healed is vital, but let’s be real, getting kills is the main goal. If you’re not helping to eliminate the enemy, then you’re playing an important role—but maybe not the most crucial one. You could try swapping characters if the rest of the squad is relying too much on you when they could be getting kills themselves.
Yeah, you definitely want to find that balance! Maybe mix in some damage dealing with the support roles.
Agreed! It’s all about finding that balance in your gameplay. A more active role might help boost your damage.
