Count Medivh as a support in QM

[Mormolyce]

I really think that Blizzard should classify Medivh as a support at least as far as the QM matchmaker is concerned. They don't have to actually change his classification, just how the matchmaker treats him.

I am not saying Medivh is broken. I am not saying Medivh is OP. I'm saying that the fact he's classified as a specialist makes for some incredibly lopsided QM games. Pugs cannot deal with a Medivh on the enemy team, particularly when QM has so, so many no-support games. One team having a Medivh is just as unbalanced as one team having a support, a situation Blizzard specifically engineered against in the QM matchmaker. I'm saying apply that same logic to Medivh since he functions as a very effective support if played by people with a brain.

I saw a solid suggestion somewhere that they should just do away with the role rules and go for kits instead.

[Well]

Definitely not. That would make for games where you have a Medivh in one team and a real support in the other.

I'd take Medivh over Tassadar as a solo support, frankly.

[Well]

I really wouldn't. I don't think you've seen ok Tassadars

[Mormolyce]

I don't think you've seen good Medivhs.

[Well]

I don't think you've seen good Medivhs.

Oh, I have. Nevertheless, my point still stands tall. What you suggest is simply unorthodox.

I disagree, he has every bit as much impact on a teamfight as a support and plays in a very similar way.

[Thimagryn]

What makes him a specialist anyways? I thought Specialists are supposed to be the 'lane pusher' type, but his kit is built more like a support.

Specialist is any hero that don't belong in any of the other categories.

From this I deduct that there's nothing to discuss further.
