Triggered healers

Why do healers get mad when you say they aren’t healing you when they ARENT?? I stay critical for a good 10 seconds spamming for heals and the mercy just sits there and ignores me. Can you REALLY not see me through the wall or RIGHT NEXT TO YOU?!

You’d be surprised about how little attention most people seem to be paying to what’s happening on the game.

I play Sombra and she can function even when her healers ignore her completely. Or I just play healers who can all heal themselves. I don’t play heroes that rely on healers to keep them alive.

Dude it triggers me to. Plus so many healers have this attitude that you should ‘thank’ them for their healing, like wtf bro do your job, just like the tank is doing their job and the dps is doing theirs, you’re not making some sort of sacrifice for playing heals.

Why do so many DPS get triggered when you say they aren’t getting kills when they aren’t?

I know that feeling, they dont heal, but if you say them something is like “ugh all people always hates the healers, we do the most important job!”

Probs cos they needed healing…

This is kinda funny because I always get salty when I have a card for healing an no one votes for me.

Alot of players don’t understand that healers need to triage their resources and YOU aren’t always the #1 priority. This is doubly so if you are a hero like Widow, Genji, Hanzo, Sombra and even D.Va (your most played heroes) who has the mobility and kit to get a health pack when said triage is in progress.

yes i am a gem right? just like healer who doesn’t have the awareness to heal their critical teammates who are literally next to them.

What healer was “ignoring” you?

Mercy, there was literally no fight going on and i was spamming for heals. Everyone was full health but me and I was 100% in her line of sight.

Well honestly you may have pissed her off if you were “spamming for heals.”

Whether it should be that way or not, anyone who spams and spams for heals is usually not a healers top priority. Like, most healers I know will say they don’t mind (and actually appreciate) a “need healing” but once it’s obnoxiously spammed that’s another story.

yes… I did press it once, then I had to press it twice, then the third. Spoiler alert I remained critical.

I once triggered a healer by saying “what do you know…your just a HEALER” in a very spiteful manner and i didnt get heals for the rest of the game

Lol, you’d be my last priority too. The real issue goes 3 ways(tanks, supports and dps) but it boils down to poor teamwork and lack of awareness across the board. The root cause being people ranking up due to mechanical skill with piss poor gamesense. The matchmaker can’t quantify gamesense so it doesn’t try. The ow matchmaker is pretty pathetic and is the the cause of alot of the problems with this game… well that, and their ridiculous networking set up. Favor the shooter… more like, your abilities don’t always work, even when you hit the buttons.

Trust me when I say, triggered heals are the least of our worries.

You did the right thing by wanting to give your healer Ult charge outside of battle. In this situation the healer was just being a jerk or we’re not hearing the full story and I’m not ruling out you’re simply one of those DPS. But this seems like simply the case of the healer just being… rude or not caring.

“I need healing!” tag is annoying to a lot of healers (Rarely myself, but It sometimes annoys me when its spammed) because in more situations than I can count its only ever used as a means of passive aggressively telling the healer they suck. Now its incredibly situational but a lot of times DPS are low on my priority list as an Ana, the off-healer should be focusing DPS because Ana shines when pocketing.

So like I said above its good to let your healers build Ult off you if its Post fight or pre fight stuff but if its mid fight and they’re pocketing a tank, go find a healtpack. Difference between a good DPS and a bad one, among other things, is their ability to be self sufficient. (This doesn’t apply to your situation I know just general advice)

Anyway, long and short of it. Sorry for your situation but just seems like bad luck or a healer who was salty.

you mean that sand over there right? THAT isnt even gem.
