Sometimes DEF doesn't really matter, sometimes it does, it depends on the event and also on the team.

For example, a unit with a very high defense might struggle to tank on Super Battle Road, but an extra 30-40% from a support unit could make all the difference in the world. Or, if Turles gave a good DEF boost to allies just like STR Rosé does, LR Broly's defensive debuff would be much less important, because on Extreme STR his DEF already increases from 17464 (no dupes) to 36196, thanks to Rosé. They've also been adding more difficult events, such as Extreme Z-Battle and Battlefield 2.0, which require a good defense.

It's also true that the damage output of support units shouldn't always be ignored (unless the unit is really weak and you don't have better options, which is usually the case for me). If a support unit increases allies' damage output by 200k, and the unit itself deals 500k, then it's probably better than another support unit that only deals 200k or so. And if for a certain category you have enough top tier units that link well together, then you might even lose a lot of damage output by using a support unit instead of another hard hitter, who could add another million damage to the team instead of just 500k. Again, it depends on a lot of factors...
