Stop running from heals

i’m only a plat, i can’t heal you if you’re checks notes behind a wall and running at a thousand miles an hour

Just don’t heal them then. I get this a lot. They’ll find out the hard way.

Personally, at least, I can say that if I’m running away from you I’m not expecting heals.

Of course I’m sure there are many people this logic doesn’t apply to, and will run away while also spamming that they need healing.

they won’t; it’ll mean I lose SR, which means I’m apparently a bad healer with a “low skill ranking/rating” for not being able to heal people who won’t listen to me through solid wall

Don’t go out of your way to heal them and possibly get yourself killed as well. Stick with the smart people in your team. It’s like a Tracer behind the enemy backlines spamming ‘I need healing’.

that’s precisely what i’m talking about; this tracer was getting hunted down and every time she got into view she popped away from the team instead of letting me Ana snipe her. this, on top of everyone else over stretching and letting me die constantly is just ugh.

My personal favorite is finding a room waaay off when I’m solo-healing as Ana (yeah, stupid I know) screaming for healing. Like, I can’t teleport or shoot through walls, at this point it would be better for you to either find a health pack or just die so you can eventually rejoin the team.

Don’t chase after people who overextend. Even with a high mobility healer like Mercy, that’s suicide. If a Tracer or Genji is off behind enemy lines and pinging for healing, let them die. Either they learn where the healthpacks are or they eventually learn that they have to double back for you to heal them.

There’s always going to be the completely hopeless cases who never learn, but don’t put yourself out of position to heal someone who’s making it near impossible to do so.

Communicate with your team about your position if they’re out of LOS. “I can’t see you”, or “Tracer, I can’t heal you” will (sometimes) help. If you don’t use VC, I believe there’s a hotkey for healers that pings “Come to me for healing”, but I can’t remember what it is off the top of my head.

Oh god, you have no idea.

OMG, WORSE HEALER! REPORTED!

~ from dying Genji, miles away from you and your team, previously running away from you to get his killz.

At that point I just log off and go play Arkham Knight or something, I don’t need this sh*t.

That is a good game to play as Crispin Freeman who does the voice of Winston also does the voice of Firefly and some other background characters.

It’s a really great game! I rate it tied for first in the Arkham series with Arkham Asylum. Best of all, they actually took the time to fix bugs after release instead of obfuscating and doing nothing about it! looks at Blizzard scornfully.

Soldier 76’s voice actor is also the voice of some random thugs, just like in Arkham City, and it’s always a blast to hear Soldier 76 talk about the Batman. I need a Soldier 76 and Batman team-up comic now more than ever.

I’ve beaten all the games in the Arkham series to full completion through the highest difficulty and NG+, I’ve got over 1k hours on Knight and over 500 hours on City and origins and just over 200 on Asylum, I don’t care for Blackgate though.
Lot’s of hours yes but I’m retired and don’t sleep a ton.

I’ve been trying to 100% all the Arkham games this last month. I tried my best to complete Asylum as thoroughly as possible, same with City, but by the time I got to Origins a few weeks ago I just lost interest. Now, though, Knight has me really interested in getting 100%!

The costume for finishing it fully on both normal and NG+ sucks, it’s just a gold emblem on his chest and the rest is like the normal undamaged suit but I love the play of it. I’ve done runs where I go for as fast as possible with 100% complete and others with the bare minimum and the most fun was on hardest difficulty NG+ and have all villains caught before getting Scarecrow.

City is great plus I play around just for the inmates conversations you hear.

i don’t know how anyone can play support without a mic

if you use a mic as a main healer i swear to god you can gain 500 sr just with communications

This is why the chevron system needs to be updated.
