Healing across the board needs to be toned down

[AtomicTom-21215]

This doesn’t make a lot of sense, the amount of burst healing hasn’t increased but the number of supports has; if you look at GOATS, it doesn’t really use burst healing like Biotic Grenade, Biotic Orb or Regenerative Burst but just redundant auras, Orb of Harmony and an Amp it Up or Repair Pack here or there. There’s nothing you can really do to solve this problem by nerfing healing, the damage creep is already WAY too much in this game with McLeftClick and negatively impacting ladder considering you can’t get people to play 3 supports let alone 2 now to keep up with it.

There is no real problem to be addressed with nerfs, you just hard lock 2/2/2 into the game and stop trying to force GOATS to not be a thing when it’s pretty obvious that DPS is a worthless class in an objective based game where Tanks and Supports have respectable damage themselves. The pros will always stack tanks and supports because it’s just better, and ladder is a quad DPS deathmatch game. The solution has been clear for a long time, they are just dragging their feet.

I did not say it made McCree on par with Snipers, since that would be quite a feat. You gotta do some real serious buffing to reach those raid boss levels.

The way the game is right now, in the competitive scene, all heroes from all class roles are competing each other for who are the best 6 picks to have in your team. If they force 2-2-2 then they could buff Characters to compete in their class roles without the fear of replacing heroes from other roles, like who are the best 2 options of supports to have in your team? The best 2 options of tanks? And best 2 options of DPS?..
You know?

They could try the Mercy Treatment to all supports maybe. But Since the meta is 33, That means all supports will be weak in 222. This is hard to fix

Although if maps were bigger they could have made OW a 2/3/2 or 2/4/2 lock, it would be fun and queue times wouldn’t be super longer for DPS players

I found this opinion on other post:

@Piltmannen-2326

I think that almost everything would have been fixed if healers weren’t so oppressive when stacked.

First of all there must be a limit on healing rate, so it’s impossible to heal 300hp in a second. It’s stupid, because headshot that deals 300 damage is so much harder to apply to a hero.

Then you add diminishing returns on heal stacking, same as in Team Fortress 2 where for every healing source that affects target, there is a penalty to healing. Two medics healing same target at once, only heal at x1.5 rate not at x2.0 rate or something.

Changes like this would actually make heroes with less than stellar damage output playable again, because nowadays they can’t kill anything. Focusing heals is much easier and more effective than focusing damage. This should not be the case.

It would be a great idea to lower heals when stacking.

I agree that healing in this game is way mechanically easier than damaging.
