The Support Role in Overwatch is trusted to save their teammates through healing. It has often caused the debate of Support versus Healer, with ML7 (an Ana Main content creator) naming an account SupportNotHealer. Today, we do away with your teammates‘ wants to be a Support and instead become the true Damage Hero. Your teammates do not need healing if the enemies are dead.
Since Ana’s release in Overwatch 2, she has been a fan favorite amongst players, especially the non-support mains. Her ability to deal with damage and offer healing on the side makes her extremely fun to play. With the introduction of Stadium, we can turn Ana into a ridiculous Damage threat with a hint of mobility to get away from the pesky Genji hunting you down, or if you would like to hunt down the terrified mortals. We even throw in some assistance to our teammates to keep them happy.
Juno’s supportive capabilities have never been in question since her release. However, she does not provide nearly as much consistent damage as other Support Heroes. Juno in Stadium is a different story. Her Pulsar Torpedo build leaves players cowering for cover as more than one Torpedo at a time will spell the end for all, save for the Tanks (looking at you, Orisa).
Kiriko is notorious for her damage and escapability in Overwatch 2. We will add to the damage part, ensuring your teammates do not need to see your Healing Ofuda. In rare occurrences, they need some healing, we have some assistance for them, but we want to focus on our damage threat. We have a perfect gameplay loop to ensure that if we hit our Kunai critical hits, we will not need to reload, and those hits cause explosions.
Lucio players are the original damage Support, along with Zenyatta. The difference between the Heroes is that Zenyatta is built as a Damage character with some Support capabilities, while Lucio should provide utility for his team. For years, Lucio players have been notorious for their damage-centric behavior, dubbed as Reddit Lucios. With Stadium, we lean further into his damage. The faster we move, the more damage we deal!
Mercy is the quintessential Support Hero, giving most of her power to her allies through the healing or damage boost. Most of her Stadium Powers and Items build further into her damage boost and healing for her allies. But we do not care about that. We want to become a damage dealer. Unfortunately, we do need to help our allies in some way to reach our highest damage potential.
Anyone who has played a decent amount of Overwatch 2 knows how many damage-focused Moira players there are. Fortunately for Moira players, a couple of build paths allow you to torture your opponents and teammates. For this build specifically, we focus on our damage orbs to deal most of our damage. Our teammates are there to enable our damage capabilities.
