Any cool ways to heal?

[Xestern-2469]

Anything Blizzard hasn’t done yet?
We got single/multi target heal
Hitscan Heal
Passive Heal
Area Heal
Zenyatta Heal (dunno what to call it)
Any other practical methods?

A healing station would be cool. (Couldve been a good Symm ability)
and Healing projectiles with burst healing.

[IAINA-21957]

I thinn that that would really suit Echo for some reason.

[Yara-11173]

Someone just suggested a hero that demanded tracking aim, like Zarya primary, Sombra, etc. I think it would be nice.

Healing projectiles is also a possibility, like Ana’s nade but as primary form of healing output.

Healing turrets.

Life steal.

i know right? I hope healing station will be part of her kit

[IAINA-21957]

@Yara-11173

Healing turrets.

Blizzard tried that for Symmetra 3.0 but said it felt “super awkward”.

[Mitrovarr-1405]

AOE healing over time, like healing gas?

[Yara-11173]

For Sym I can see why it felt weird, a hero designed around it could work perhaps.

[Echo11-21439]

I think these would be cool ways to heal:

@Echo11-21439

Ability 1 : Hell Portal 15 second cooldown

Hela places a portal that connects to spawn. Only Hela can use the portal to travel either back to spawn or back to the fight from spawn. If Hela uses the portal, it will be destroyed. If an enemy passes through the portal they will take 50% additional damage from Hela. Allies that pass through hell portal are healed for 50% of all damage Hela does. This lasts as long as they stay alive. Hell portal has infinite duration and has 200 health and 400 shields.

@Echo11-21439

Ultimate : Eternal Flame

Hela slams the ground with the eternal flame to send a wave of fire that heals allies for 150hp and damages enemies for 75hp. Fallen enemies and allies will be resurrected as Hela’s servants. Enemies will be resurrected as AI that acts like weaker versions B.O.B for 6 seconds. Allies will be resurrected as healing AI for 8 seconds. Enemies and Allies will not be prevented from respawning if they are resurrected as Hela’s servants (the AI are separate from them). Fenris can also be resurrected and used as normal. If Fenris is killed he cannot be summoned again until resurrected by Eternal Flame.

I’ve always enjoyed the idea of a “combo” heal that gets more potent when you heal different targets in succession. Like a projectile or Target ability that gets stronger if you heal a different teammate (who is missing health) each time.

[BackwardCap-1554]

We don’t have life share. (Reducing your own health to give to someone else)

[Shining-2611]

Global healing through the entire map.
Can’t say that i would want it though :I

[Starlord-22320]

Some Medic-alike tracking beam and overheal? (It could be a temporary shield like Doomfists)

[NanoByte-11180]

I think soilder’s biotic field is pretty much a health station

[Skald-1493]

There’s NO hero yet that…

• Throws down a healing well to heal. Such a hero would obviously synergize really well with Sombra’s hack.

• Is a WoW Discipline priest. Such a hero could throw Heal Over Time effects onto his allies. Further this hero could bubble his allies under focus while simultaneously letting the HoT buffs ramp up their hp’s only to rinse-and-repeat this combo to keep the targeted player alive.

• That adds shields to allies in the same way Symmetra used to.

• That has high health and self regeneration with the ability to redirect damage to himself. To shoot him stops his self regen (same as it would a Mercy). As such positioning with such a hero matters.

[Yara-11173]

I’ll buy that for a dollar.

@BackwardCap-1554

I have some ideas for Echo that are similar to this:

@Echo11-21439

Life Link (10-second cooldown):
Echo grants a single ally 30% damage reduction with the cost of taking this 30% damage herself. All buffs Echo receive from other teammates (such as healing, damage boost, speed boost, or damage reduction) will also be shared at 50% value with Echo’s Life link target.

@Echo11-21439

Photon Shield (No cooldown):
Echo sacrifices 50 of her permanent shield health and gives this to an ally. This lowers Echo’s maximum shield health by 50. She cannot regenerate these lost 50 shields unless she removes Photon shield by using the interact button, or if a teammate dies.

@Echo11-21439

Echo swings her staff to release a slash projectile that can pass through enemies and barriers that does 60 damage per slash and travels at 20m per second. Each slash/swing takes 1 second to charge. These slash projectiles can also pass through allies to heal them for 30hp (or maybe 50hp).

“Dispenser goin’ up!”

[BrosBe4Foes-21856]

Not really healing but an idea for a tank ability would be like a 5 second tether that redirects 30%-50% of damage taken by an ally over to the tank.

Maybe even give that tank a passive that benefits from damage taken that way.

[BlankReg-11727]

I’ve suggested that Symmetra’s Photon Barrier could heal team mates that pass through it. It would probably need to only work once per player otherwise people would become invincible for the duration of her ult.
