Blizzard acknowledges no one's playing support in Overwatch 2, and that's a problem

Please, make support a more popular choice.

Overwatch 2 has a serious support shortage right now. The role is proving rather unpopular, with queue times substantially shorter for those brave enough to tackle babysitting two diving DPS and a tank that's somehow halfway across the other side of the map.

But with queue times suffering massively in Overwatch 2 thanks to the discrepancy, the developer seems to finally be taking note.
