Why supports don’t feel useful in the Overwatch 2 beta

Out of all the roles within the Overwatch 2 beta, the queue time for support is significantly shorter, while the other two roles are longer. This indicates that supports aren’t played as often in the beta, despite some great changes for their role and the game.

There are multiple explanations for this, but let’s start with the most obvious one.

5v5 makes support a tougher role

Plain and simple, playing support in the 5v5 version of Overwatch heavily changes how you play. With two tanks in the original Overwatch, supports were essentially designed to either go alongside their teams like Lucio or Mercy or sit back and heal from a distance like Ana and Baptiste. Support was a very reactive role, and even in Overwatch 2, elements of that remain. However, the biggest change that 5v5 has done is make every role more proactive.
