If a support’s healing is burst and higher than 70hps (+ strong abilities), it’s an issue.
The devs are just, as i understood from your words “allergic to healing nerfs”
A lot of support players expected healing nerfs in season 9. Instead we got this. Quite a few support players said this was a bad idea and doesn’t work in the way devs intended it to.
I recall some dps players praising the passive, even when supp players would have rather gotten hps nerfs.
As a supp main, give us hps nerfs.
The passive doesn’t work equally for all dps, and when failed to be administered everyone suffers from the balance buffs that the supps got due to the passive.

Dps passive only exists so they can do global healing reduction without boosted support players crying. There’s really no reason for it to be tied to dps
Yeah agrees but blizzard insists on 5v5 and a lot of people like it.
So we have to take this in consideration (even tough 6v6 solves lots of problems of 5v5, and create problems that arent as bad)
Honestly, they already nerfed most of the support roster’s hp. Maybe we can get 5 hp back if we all lose some hps.
There’s no reason for ana to be able to reach 80 hps when unbothered, or for kiriko to be able to shove 100 health at a nearby ally.
Not to mention moira’s 70 hps aoe spray.
Juno at least has fall off on her heals, but within optimal distance she can reach near 80.
Without the dps passive, mercy’s healing would still be 55. There would have been no need to buff lucio’s, mercys or weaver’s heals from where they were just fine before the passive.
If all healing gets nerfed, put mercy back to 50, that’s where her healing is with the passive anyway. (But only if higher healing sups get proper nerfs at the same time)
The high hps heroes just need more nerfing than she does, but they’re also the ones least likely to be nerfed (if their nerf history is anything to look at).
But why though? Support that primarily focus on damage already exists, it’s called zen.
Instead, I’d rather see buffs to previously DPS’sy support like illari, who got nerfed indirectly after S9 global health change.
Bap has also gotten a little weaker in pick potential after global S9 health buffs. Though I don’t know if there are any “safe” way to buff bap’s damage without making people tilted.
Anyways there is no need for supports to have DPS’s healing reduction passive IMO.
As much as you guys preach support not healer
I think you guys should also preach Support not DPS
Which hitbox changes? Cassidy and Ashe had theirs reduced to 0.07 from 0.08. Sojourn still shoots 0.14m hitscan logs that are as big as projectiles for whatever reason. Widow and Hanzo are the only heroes who got reverted
The self regen activates after 5s. That’s too long to enable any hero to “live in the enemy backline”
