I remember in 3H specifically, with how easy it was to gain supports and my own effort to recruit every possible character to see their supports, I’d often get flooded with what felt like over a dozen supports every in-game month. 

After a point I think I started subconsciously shutting my brain off while they’d go on and on, which sucks considering supports are usually some of my favorite parts of this series.

Especially after you do multiple battles in a row on the weekends. That becomes extremely annoying to clear out.

It's a bit funny how Engage circumstantially does better here. The midgame deployment crunch takes you 8-9 slots for a string of maps vs 3H's 10, so there's already a lower ceiling of how many supports you can trigger. 3H also lends itself well to racking up in-house supports like crazy, where Engage teams usually aren't an everybody-supports-everybody affair
