So as a brand new player, are there "builds" that are the best for certain characters? or can you just build them situationally without completely gimping yourself.

I've been playing around with Support characters so far and I just want to make sure I'm not picking stupid talents.

Depends on the character in a lot of cases. I know hotslogs gets mixed reviews but it shows winrate and pickrate by talent which is a decent guideline for "best builds". Once you learn the characters and maps better there are definitely situational talents to take (e.g. you may want a spell shield if the enemy team has 3 casters).

General rule of thumb though - just commit to a build in game. If you are buffing a characters Q ability, take the talents that synergize with the Q. It usually not as good to have a bunch of slightly ok talents rather than one really strong ability.

Thought as much.

The pitfalls I've been falling into so far have been with Tassadar and Rehgar are I build them as support but then find my teammates are not killing poo poo fast enough so I start going into their more DPS oriented talents.

Mind you I've only been playing AI games so far but my current interaction with players as a support character have been disparaging.

If your team is literally walking into towers and dying 4v3 there's nothing you can do to win. Lucio healing is not going to stop a tower from killing your teammates. You're arguing stabbing yourself in the left eye is somehow better than stabbing yourself in the right eye. All the strategies are awful and it's irrelevant what you do.

What if your Left eye is a Lazy eye though?
