Just got called a bad “healer” again and again from salty selfish dps player also with some insults between there.
blamed the support for the loss while he was the one that constant went 1vs6 enemies and kept daying
But yep we the supports are to “blame”
Figured I’d just quote this instead of re-type it.
But yeah, this is nothing new. It’s easier to blame someone else than to do a little self-reflection and consider the possibility that you were to blame.
I wouldn’t take these criticisms personally, even if it still stings to be singled out like that when you know it wasn’t your fault. Just queue up as quickly as possible and hope they’re in your next game so you can stomp them.
I can take critic if he thinks it was my fault good for him i know it was the opposite but when you start to insult me that’s a no no.
But problem is it’s so easy to blame the supports for everything.
and hearing this basically almost every game gets just tired.
I’d lost count of how many times I’d encountered super-salty DPS insta-lockers who’d blame me for them dying repeatedly.
I’d stick with the team because I’ve got a large group to babysit and not some glory-hog who thinks he’s the main event, and he’d explode in a veritable sodium-bomb.
“WHY DEDENT’ U HEEL ME!???!!111”
“Because I’ve got a whole team to heal, and I couldn’t even FIND you half the time.”
Basically this sorry but i have more people to heal who actually wants to group up
yep a scoreboard would have kept them from abusing you
Listen I totally agree with you in this situation, he had no right to call for heals so far away from the team. But I’ve had situations where I’m playing as Ashe for example, behind the team and / or on high ground, asking for heals whilst the supports are in front completely oblivious that I’m in dire need of health. Idk I’m just saying it’s not ALWAYS the dps’ fault and it’s not ALWAYS the healers fault.
I not saying supports are always good
but cmon if you playing dps and you are on the other part of the map or 1vs6 into enemy you really expect healers to follow the dps into the dead lol.
And when we refuse to follow them we get called a “bad” support with trashtalk in voice chat
Reminds me of the time I was playing Mercy and I was being called a terrible healer by this one guy the entire game.
We ended up winning and my end card showed over 20k healing and about 40% team damage healed.
Yea, i had over 30k+ healing that game with around 50% team damage healed but yet i still got blamed by that one selfish dps player.
That’ll create more toxicity than it’ll help people.
Coughs in dps Moira Oh hell nah, y’all join me on this side of the map.
Nono, I agree with you; I’ve played far more support than I have dps and I’ve seen it myself lol. Just that sometimes, (especially moreso now people with less experience playing support are doing so) the healers have the observational skills of a chair. These same support players I’m referring to would likely try to follow the dps into the 1v6 and die.
The fact that players don’t look up or behind them is both a blessing and a curse… it’s a great thing to see in the enemy, but not so much in your own team.
There’s really nothing much for it but to use the ‘need healing’ button, and hope your supports don’t get mad when they hear it. Unless you have a Lucio, then you can just move into the circle if you aren’t getting enough accidental healing already.
If you’re behind the healer and need heals, it might be a good idea to let them know you’re behind them since they can’t see you. They can hear your voice line, but they can’t tell exactly where it’s coming from.
Ashe, as in your example, can easily achieve this by simply approaching the healer’s line of sight for a second. The healer will see her health bar is in need of healing, do so, and the Ashe is free to use her Coach gun to return to her high-ground.
Of course the healer still needs to keep tabs on the team, that much is true, but given that teammates tend to scatter to all corners of the map, this can be difficult.
victim mentality and you have a mute button for a reason
and also a report system
quit acting like it would cause more than not knowing on purpose
when EVERY other game has it
What really bugs me as a healer-main, is stuff like this, for example
tfw when you follow the dps into the dead and now no one is alive to heal the team
I just usually reply with “salt” 
Well sometimes im going 1v6 myself but im nighting, so i guess it’s all good.
how is he selfish? its role queue. He queues for dps and endured the queue times.
