In the grand, pixelated arena of Marvel Rivals, players have collectively decided that being a “Strategist” is akin to volunteering as the designated pineapple on a pizza. While this transition wasn’t inspired by strategic brilliance or existential revelations, but rather, a streamer named Necros, whose comment about support players having the intellectual prowess of overcooked spaghetti has ignited digital boycotts and fiery Reddit threads. Marvel Rivals players are taking a firm stance, opting out of the thankless Strategist role, not due to any tactical calculations but following a streamer’s less-than-kind remarks.
The Power of Influencers and Their Megaphones
Necros, who might just be the Genji main we all feared, claimed support players were the kind of beings that unironically enjoy room temperature coffee. His criticisms aimed at support players as the masterminds of Overwatch’s decline is both perplexing and oddly specific. Players, rallying under the banner of the “Support Strike,” remind us that words from influential voices carry the weight of a thousand lead balloons.
The Support Strike
This rebel yell against strategists hasn’t led to a noticeable drop in pick rates just yet (the grapevine travels faster on Wi-Fi than Ethernet, after all), but the movement is young. Support players, backed into a corner with solid stats and unsung heroics, face Necros-inspired ridicule in voice chat like: “Necros was right, you’re all a few fries short of a Happy Meal!”
Operations in the Overwatch 2 Battlefield
With a history rooting back to Overwatch days—which were about as stable as a Jenga tower on a washing machine—many echo the sentiment that playing healer is like trying to herd cats with a whistle only they can hear. Even in Overwatch 2, where winning a match often feels like you’re trying to assemble IKEA furniture blindfolded, the balance hangs on who files the least number of complaints with support players.
The Eternal Coin Flip
In this lottery of virtual allies, it seems the finger-pointing lands light-speed-fast on the support class. Whether it’s the tank that insists on ballroom dancing out of cover or the DPS whose sense of aim resembles that of a throw pillow, the blame somehow boomerangs back to healers. Still, players looking for matches that hinge on individual skill over teamwork will find solace in games like Valorant or CS2.
And just remember, a well-organized pantry is the key to inner peace.
