If you need healing, ask for it

[Fartin' Futa King]

Oh, look at you, Mr. Iron Man soaring above my head or Mr. Sneaky Pants hiding behind me! Newsflash: you won't get a single drop of healing unless you hold down that middle mouse button and ask for it.
Seriously, I can't wait for them to slap a mandatory tutorial on us explaining the fancy radial menu before we can even touch competitive play.
I mean, come on! You can even bind that thing to a key if you’re not too busy flying around like a superhero.
Asking for healing should be a hand reflex for anyone who can’t be bothered to stay in a healer’s line of sight.
Hope this helps!

Grandmaster support here, if you're tunnel visioning your tanks and not healing other people, you're also.

A. Not looking around/listening for gankers and pinging them

B. Not keeping track of enemy ult timers/initiations that are coming and communicating it to your team

C. Only healing your tank, 100% you just trying to farm that heal stat so you can cry how your team is bad endgame cos u had most healing when you wont throw a heal to anyone but tank.

D. You probably a Mercy main in Overwatch elts be honest, you think following someone and holding a button a player MUCH better than you should let you get carried.

E. If your Iron man gets into a 1v1 with say another Iron man he doesn't have time to ping, it's literally down to who has the most pocket healing, you have what we call a healing economy war going on here. I know, terms you have no idea what they mean, you can't even use your mouse to look around in a 3d game, look at tank, spam heal button, that's enough for top 500 right?

F. You are not moving around, a lot of your divers or DPS will be losing many kills on enemy healers/DPS because you're pocket healing a tank as if you're Mercy in overwatch.

Nope, unlike Overwatch Supports in this game have to play well if they want Gm, they have to put the same brainpower into the game as other roles, I love it cos in any other game Supports get carried hard up ranks they shouldn't, especially by a DPS duo that just wants pocket healing by a literal slave.

This game requires healers to think or if the enemy supp has brains and yours doesn't you lose.

I like this, keeps the bad supports deranked/low and whining and the good supports in high rank/elo.

Your job is to heal people, and you are being ass at it, done.

[Hex: JD Vance]

Are you playing with your eyes closed?

[Mister Sir]

While you should always look around and contribute more than just healing as a healer you are still not wrong. No one plays perfect 100% of the time and it's safe to make an argument that there is not a single match anyone can have without making at least one none optimal move/decision. So yeah, people should ask for heals, it's really not hard and I noticed that when I need healing, I get it way more often when I just ping for it.

[Wulfen]

Support is meant to enable the team. Dps and tanks don't have time to kowtow to your petty demands of requiring text based comms in order to get healed if not immediately in your line of sight. Just occasionally look around. Healing isn't hard at all

[Frnak]

Press E to call a "MEDIC!"

[Falgabird]

You're more concerned about getting your next kill without outright saying it.

I panic when Hulk gets a bruise from a stray shot. And I always make sure my teammates are topped off as much as I can when I notice them passing by.

We are not the same.

Ask for it? LOL Can't spam the heal button enough and stand right next to a healer for 30 sec or more and they just keep looking forward. You literally have to stand in front of them for them to even see you. They never turn their camera view ever.. just press W and look straight.

I have a huge + over my head I'm 20hp and pinging like crazy and nothing.

probably spoken by someone who never played support
if u cant hit the need healing ping so they can get situational awareness where the hell they flying around it would make life easier

[IndianaJones]

K, if you need a shield when I'm playing as Tank ask for it.

[rad_knight]

speaking as a healer main: no, don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do this. ever.
that "need healing" ping exists for the tank to use 1 time if the healers don't get to him for 30 seconds.
if you are a DPS, pretended that button doesn't exist. if you hit it, chances are unbelievably strong that I know you're on low health and am not healing you because i'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ busy with the rest of the team and you're not a priority. the health packs exist, if you're not being healed, go get one. don't ping.

[Kyutaru]

By the time they ask for healing, they don't need healing anymore. Heal preemptively.

[SoloQ]

The time it takes to get to safety, ping, get healed, and get back in the fight you could've just gone to a health pack and had the same effect. Only one didn't pull the healers focus from the people actively engaging in the fight.
