Invisible Girl is Not a Healer

[Shamalamadingdang]

She's a strategist. Just had a game where people who haven't even tried her out were complaining to me about not doing enough healing. Her kit is extremely versatile. trapping, shielding, cloaking, pushing and pulling enemies, and doing nasty DPS are all options with her. Her invisibility almost begs you to do some tricky positioning and make plays. She's not Mantis or Adam Warlock. Before you start spitting healing numbers at an Invisible Girl, check their KO's, deaths, and Assists. If they have low healing but they have 15 KO's, 10 Assists, and 0 deaths, shut up.

Healing stat is probably the most arbitrary in the game. You can have a lower number and do great and have clutch healing in a 1-3-2, or have huge numbers with poor play in the clutch with a 2-2-2. More tanks = more health to heal and stats to pad. It is really not very indicative of quality play.

She IS a healer, the thing is it doesn't heal enough and you need to have good accuracy, it's better if you use in in comps when you have a shield-guy and there's no enemy dps that jumps around, because you heal when the projectile goes forward then back ups, doing dps and also healing at the same time if they are aligned correctly.

She has tons of abilities that heal, she's a healer... The main way you should be doing damage with her is by plinking any enemies that are attacking your frontline while healing them as she can attack and heal at the same time, this's why so many people that play her have high damage and kills. You should also be using her E to position enemies, whether that be pulling them into an effect or throwing them off a cliff.

I will say however that she isn't a good single target healer, she relies on teammates being grouped up as her heals can heal multiple at once. So if you have an invisible woman as your healer, ensure you stay together so she can heal you all.

I think what OP wants to say is she doesn't have the healing output of nearly everyone else.

She is a bandage to an open wound while some other characters are hospitals.

KOs/Assists mean nothing whilst healing done usually has some relevance. She's designed to move with the frontline, that's all.

Invisible woman main here. Terrible take. Genuinely terrible take. She's actually does very little damage and a good amount of healing. I come out of most of my game with super high healing, often top healing. her shield is also not really made for blocking damage, and is much better used as just a second way to heal somebody. You should either be in the very back like trying to get all your teammates or right behind the tanks trying to keep them alive and do damage to specifically the people they are fighting. Yeah, you can get high KOs, especially because she hits a lot more people than most strategist, but if you aren't healing your teammates then you might as well just play Psylocke. All her abilities are for either helping the team or crowd control.

Heal your teammates. You are playing her wrong if you aren't.

bro I play her as my new main wth are you talking about?
16k damage, 28 kills, 32 assists, 34k healing. if you're not healing with her then you need to learn to play your role.

Posts like this make me wish devs released an update that just removed stats and numbers from the game. People are becoming too data driven and I fear this is detrimental for the future of our society. AI is the result of us being too data driven, so I feel we need to go back before its too late.

Nah bro if you go under 10k healing with her you're not playing her correctly, Same goes for Loki.

[ɸ It That Dwells ɸ]

"She's not a healer, she's a strategist". Holy semantics. Absolute non-point.
Although I agree that Invisible Woman has a very versatile and useful kit - I pick her when I flex fill.

Id rather have someone heal just 5K and wins me games than someone who heals 100K and loses me the game.

If someone has 100k heals and you lose the game it's not the healer's fault... if you win the game and the healer has 5k believe it or not, you didn't win thanks to the healer.

WHAT IS THIS LOGIC LMFAO

This is simplistic and shows why healing totals are so arbitrary. What if the 5k healer was a mantis that had 4 dps and only one tank (less overall hp), made a sweaty clutch mlb play to save the dying tank in the final seconds and put his attacker to sleep to seal the win?

girl?

There is one role, damage, anything else is just a flavor, like anti-damage, which is the flavor of our current discussion.
