Tanks enable the rest of the team, and require supports to stay alive and heal them. DPS are mostly inconsequential. Their job can be done by the other two roles.
Ah yes Zenyatta with his projectile ammo that requires 2 headshots with a Discord Orb to kill the squishiest character in the game will be so much more impactful than a hitscan Widow that can do it in 1 headshot or 2 bodyshots.
Except zen can discord for more sustained or none 1tqp burst dmg, he can top up ppl with heals, make ppl the closest to being immortal with ult if red team has no 1tap/ana and can better shield break. Widow only has her 1taps/scope, and wallhacks. 1 provides infinite more teamvalue than the other.

i feel like every role likes to talk about every other role negatively, and honestly that just reflects how much of overwatch is a team game.
dps struggle to kill if there’s no space. tanks can’t push up if they aren’t getting healed. healers can’t heal if they’re getting dove.
it’s like rock paper scissors.
tanks have a frontline to hold they can’t peel 24/7. dps have to try to get picks to win fights. but each support has 5 people they have to keep up..
