Unhealthy for the game, it’s better when they have to use their own resources or take up a health pack from a DPS flanker. It provides a more strategic play. The heroes who already had it can keep it though (Mercy, Zen’s shield).

why don’t we erase healing abilities completely? That way, everybody despite their role will develop and improve those strategic skills and will be more self sufficient by finding health packs, not depending on others, etc. Also, that way in a 1vs1 everybody would know if we’re indeed good players or we’re good only when a support player is using all their healing abilities on us.
The passive isnt the problem with support.

There’s an argument to be made that it could be looked at for the Flex Supports (Ana, Bap, Kiri, Zen, Illari, Moira), and encourage Supports to look after each other a little more especially as some of these double Flex Support comps are able to sustain at an unbelievably, almost egregiously high rate, but I don’t think this would outright solve the power creep. I think we could start with a global damage and healing nerf across all roles, in the region of 10-15% and see how that changes things, then come back and look again, and potentially look at shifting the value to utility abuse, as opposed to just the current stat farming.
Also on a side note, I’d be ok with DPS having more utility and ways to secure kills than just seeing everyone’s damage numbers creep up, which seems to be the current direction that’s being taken.
I would be down for it, but it feels like so much of the community just doesn’t realize how strong support is in this game.
