@drchungus_ Okay let's just say ur right and all main supps play zen in zen/bap. That just means they switch spots on the spectrum, and they're both still far on the flex supp side.
I'm telling you Liam probably has at least 20x as much time on Zen as me, which is true for most flex supps
Taking this a step further with the flex/main support spectrum. This conversation always confuses people bc there are outliers where metas include double ms/fs.
For any combo, the flex supp will play the left hero, the main supp will play the right hero, with few exceptions.
Some people seemed confused about who is Flex support and who Main support so here is the actual non meme version. The roles have nothing to do with healing amounts it's based on esports. Main support player learns the few core heroes that are basically always played. Flex learns everything else.
@drchungus_ You're totally right about the way the heroes are designed, but the terms "main support" and "flex support" are about pro ow hero pools.
Look at the notable zen players page on liquipedia and all you see are flex supp players.
@drchungus_ OG zen comps were zen/mercy or zen/brig, with some zen/bap as one of the first double fs comps.
Between this and goats comp, flex supports got good at zen, and only a few main supports ever played him professionally.
It's a hero pool thing, not a hero design thing.
