PSA to supports

Other members on your team need healing other than your tanks.

I know tanks need a lot of healing. And I know that, sometimes, it’s hard to keep tabs on certain over aggressive dps who dive into the enemy backline never to return.

But all night in experimental I have had healers who quite literally ignore their wounded dps and do nothing but heal the shield tank all match. Ana’s, Mercys and moira’s mostly.

I know the tanks are easiest to heal and need the most healing, but your widow right in front of you who’s had 33 hp for the past 8 seconds would really like a shot or 2, ana.

I’m sorry, can you repeat that but like… explain it like I’m five. I’m supposed to heal who now?

Strongly agree, the number of times i was half hp and our mercy was healing the zarya, even though moira/ana/bap is enough for both tanks, smh dude, there is a reason people want mercy or zen healing the dps, because its 10x easier and more consistent.

No heal rectangle man all time, heal small blue big butted sniper or small Asian man with bow.

LOL this drives me insane when a Mercy/Ana is trying to just pocket the tanks while I’m here on Moira fully able to heal… while our Echo is in the air critical and I can’t reach her lol.

And they never heal me, they just too busy focussing on the tanks because they are desparate for gold heals or something.

(this has mostly happened to me when I’ve had a Mercy)

EXACTLY they don’t heal their ally support or anyone but the tank. Like I understand in today’s day and age you’ve gotta basically pump the tanks with 500 hps to keep them alive, but that doesn’t mean the rest of your allies can fend for themselves.

There was a match I had earlier on Anubis where I s2g 80% of my healing as mccree came from health packs.

If I get into one of those lobbies, I just swap to 76. No point in wasting the time to hobble to the health packs when you can sprint to them! Also very important to steal the healers health pack from them whenever possible just to be spiteful.

Blame the tank nerfs that were caused by DPS tank complaints. DPS have asked for tank nerfs, got them, and just now realized that the healing curve went sharply to tanks now?

DPS have crippled thier own heals when they asked for extreme tank nerfs.

The whole game has been crippled by tank nerfs. It breaks the natural design of the game.

I try to heal everyone I can reach. Sometimes i just don’t notice you. But i’m not a very good player. I’m just low gold on support.

It’s almost as if it’s Ana and Moira’s job to focus on the tanks, hmmmm :thinking:

The key phrase is “nothing but.” I can verify it does actually happen. I wish it was just an exaggeration.

What if the zen pops off and gets 5 kills, then can you say
Zen please heal

There’s a difference between focusing the tanks And only healing the tanks.

Everyone always gets so defensive about this lol. Tunnel vision is a huge problem for all roles, but particularly support as it is so crucial that they pay attention to enemy flankers and teammates that are at low health.

In what world are Supports dumping heals into your tank? I always get a bap trying to heals our tracer from the other side of the map and a mercy pocketing a McCree who can’t hit the broad side of a barn.
