If I want to win, I HAVE to play support. The amount of support that will leave their team at half health and never DPS is insane.
Mercy and Lucio are the biggest offenders. No, we don’t need you dmg boosting your boyfriend who can’t aim and we don’t need speed on Control. We need damage from YOU
I had mercy lucio on my team before who didn’t understand the game they had absolutely enormous healing numbers… Yet they couldn’t understand why they were the reason we were losing/had lose…
I’d actually argue the lower your healing levels are while maintaining your teams safety and uping your dps is the most important thing a support player should strive for.
Really? I saw tons of people screaming toward Moira player who kill so many and heal so much at the same time but still they angry at Moira about healing while those Moira also heal no less than 6000-7000 in average. I’m getting not sure what majority of this game want, heal or damage since whatever support do people never satisfy at all……
My own teammates say I’m bad at this game, when I have the best KDA ratio in the lobby, while also getting the POTG playing as Bap.
They are just jealous of another person’s skill…
I’ve said this before, and people disagreed, but I’ll say it again. Healing is a means to an end. You’re prolonging the time your team can stay in the fight, but it is by no means meant to make them immortal. They’ll die, eventually, which is why it’s important to also do dps. The better your team’s positioning and the more dps your team is outputting, the faster things die. The faster things die, the less healing your team needs.
A team with 8k total combined healing will more than likely prevail over the team with 20k combined healing.
Right now I’m trying to find like the “Sweet spot” with lifeweaver because they say hes supposed to be a healbot but tbh I think I should just give people like 1 full 75 charge with maybe a additional 10 and go straight back to shooting thorn volley. Like at best I think just restoring maybe a good 100 hp should be fine.
I know his kit is meant to punish you for dpsing to much since you won’t have a heal charged but the game itself just like legitimately punishes you more for not shooting at something almost every game I’ve won as lifeweaver I started hard dpsing. If they die before I charge my heal or I don’t have life grip I mean that’s obviously bad but legit that’s what I have to do, I’ve left people critical HP right beside me just so I could add in more damage to low hp targets, or anyone really.
That target dying and not doing anymore damage to you is more important then me just healing you hoping you can kill that target and chances are if they start getting pocketed legit any form of extra damage can break hps values and lifeweavers headshots FREAKING HURT! If they are dead before there supports get back we get way more value (obviously otherwise they’ll just get healed back to max) trust me that’ll happen a lot faster if I add in damage even if your just like 100 hp even as the tank I’m sorry but I need to kill that person I will pull you back from spawn if anything bad happens.
I main Brig, so I understand leaving allies on critical and opting to kill the target instead of healing. The thing that people forget about LW, and Supports in general, is that they aren’t all Mercy or Ana with an unlimited on-demand heal. If an Ally is critical, and charging your heal would result in them dying, better to “eject” them with petal platform, kill the target, and heal them after.
Ohh I should try that I haven’t thought of using platform like under someone to help them escape. It might leave me more vulnerable but ehh I usually have enough hp anyways so I can take a few bullets here and there. Hmmm maybe throwing it under my Jqueen would give her just enough of those few seconds for her to get shout back or hog or someone like that, ty for the advice!
Yeah, sexism. How “refreshing”.
Maybe people could also use coverage more often and don´t stand in full fire while expecting us to keep you alive at every cost.
Mercy is suppost to boost, but I don´t remember the last time, when I was not forced to play healbot with her and eventualy swap to a better healbot, cause people just can´t use natural cover and kill stuf…
