QOL Request: Team Bar Targeting

My biggest barrier to playing supports is that I have difficulty targeting the right people for heals (which, incidentally, is why the only support I’m any good at is Lucio). It frustrates me that we have a Team Bar at the top of the screen that displays the relevant health values of every member of your team, but we can’t use it to order our characters to cast abilities on the chosen individual. My request is fairly straightforward:

Allow the portraits of Allied Players on the Team Bar to correspond to their given character for the purpose of targeting abilities.

This will make it much easier to manage the health of your teammates during chaotic moments and make mis-clicks much less likely (like using Stim Drone on Gul’dan instead of Illidan because they happened to be standing next to each other at the right time).

That sounds convoluted.

I just imagined using Keys on a keyboard to quick cast on a hero, each key for each set of hero, but that’s a debate in skill I suppose.

Also the suggestion of WoW status portrait kinda lean towards the skill debate if it’s too easy.

It really isn’t. You cast Holy Light on X player’s portrait, Uther casts Holy Light on that player’s hero. Replace Holy Light with whatever targeted beneficial ability of your choosing (Safeguard, Stim Drone, Regrowth, Desperate Plea, ect) for other heroes.

I wish there was more control over the UI as well, let me move things around or allow me to split the top bar on the left and right sides too. The biggest thing I’d like is to move the chat box out of the center of my screen. That can really get annoying.

Controlling where your team’s portraits are would def fit in to using them for support purposes.
