Idea: Healer Only and Support Only (no healing)

General Discussion

All this content is an idea:

Composition = 1 Tank + 1 Healer + 1 Support (no healing) + 1 dps + 1 dps

1 Healer = healing only

  • Example Mercy = Remove resurrect and damage amplifier. Replace with healing abilities.

1 Support = Booster, Shield, Protection etc (not healing)

  • Example Lucio = No healing aura. Replace with a Booster, Shield, Protection etc
  • Example Zen = No healing. Replace with a Booster, Shield, Protection etc

The idea is to organize the support heroes and divide them into two roles: Healer Only and Support Only (no healing)

What is your opinion?

I don’t entirely agree with your ideas, however I wouldn’t mind if there were seperate queues for main (Ana, Bap, Moira, Mercy) and off healers (Zen, Luc, Brig)

I’m just afraid it could take a gigantic toll on queue times if we don’t get at least 3 new off-healers :confused:

I also feel like Lucio’s and Zen’s healing isn’t such a big feature of their idenity, so it doesn’t have to be removed

Nah, Mercy better be off healer. Nobody wants to play more wack double off healer, but one of your off healers has barely any utility, uwu.

Creating more roles solves nothing and would make queue times even worse by splitting supports.

Why not just make the supports that are already in the game better? Reworks are already on the table for Overwatch 2.

The concept’s interesting, but it would make losing your main healer even more of a snowball loss. Sustain is very important for peeling and repositioning to be effective.
