Heroes of the Storm Forums

Well, nearly every Support Hero is nerfed in the latest PTR patch, and with it the death of the Support role. As a player who only plays Supports, it marks the end of an almost three year playthrough of this game. Unless these excessive and unnecessary nerfs are reverted, I see teams made solely of two tanks, one bruiser, and two ranged Assassins or some combination of only those three roles. Thankfully there are plenty of other games that understand the importance of the support character, and I'll find my home within them instead of the harsh and unforgiving Nexus. Farewell, Assassins of Warcraft-I mean Heroes of the Storm.
