The new DPS role passive serves only as a straight up buff (a pretty big one). My main problem is that the first death in a team fight is massive in Overwatch 1. With one less player tank on each team, that impact is even bigger if the tank is the first to die. Now let's add a movement speed buff to the DPS that got the elimination and now the

I think they should swap the OW2 DPS Passive with the Support Passive. In other words, give Support the +10% move speed, and give DPS the out-of-combat healing, probably with a longer timer like 3 seconds.
