Healers not healing

[Solaire of Astora]

Do you guys also notice that in matches you sometimes have a team with 2 or even 3 healers, but none of them are actually healing at all?

I don't get it why people pick a class and not even use skills at all.
I even sometimes see players in matches that never use their ultimate skill.

Was just wondering if other people noticed this behaviour as well. It's kinda frustrating losin matches thanks to people that only hold left mouse and do nothing else in a team game.

youre on your way to become a wonderful healer main

There are no healers in this game. Only Strategists.

Also most Supports have their heal abilty on Left Click.

Are you taking damage same time? Healers can't heal oneshots, and most of healers can't heal you in matter of 1-2 seconds to full after being almost killed. I can hit you with Rocket balls full magazine, but healing amount it does isn't that bursty, especially when healing tanks. You can't simply stand in middle of enemy fire, especially as DPS and think healers can keep you alive indefinitely.

I know what you're saying cause most of the times strategists are just shooting at the other team more than healing their teamates when it's the time to heal. I know sometimes you can get focus by 2 to 3 enemy at the same time so you gonna die anyway if a healer wants to support you and heal. But anyway dont search too far cause most strategists cant even aim in some situations or they just dont care & then they complain that their teamates are dying. I would say that in a couple of seasons strategists are gonna be way more better cause some people are gonna leave the game & the others who are gonna stay are gonna know their role.

and DPS are always better? Even with healers, if you don't seek cover when low hp, you deserve to die. I'm not gonna suicide into enemy punisher ult or starlord ult etc.

I never notice this, as a healer who gets 20k-30k and is constantly getting assists what I notice more often than not is that the dps or the tank will think they can't die and dive in the frontline without their team. Also, nobody prioritizes damage dealers who deliberately kill us healers, they just focus the tanks like idiots. So it's probably more of the latter as that's all I see. In order to get HP you need to be in rotation to receive it.

If they are genuinely refusing to heal, you can report them for Throwing and they will be temp banned for Unsportsmanlike Conduct

literally this, yep.

This I think is why playing roles like healer and supp are bad in comp because you don't have anyone to take advantage and move up, I feel like I have to do everything myself as a healer and I can't just push and dive like a tank duo. You either go DPS and carry or you don't and lose I guess because others cannot do it if you let them try.

I've had at least 5 games of people complaining (heavily) they're not getting healed (as a healer im putting my 2 cents on this), yet they forget:
1. They're not the only person needing heals
2. There is a thing called cool down
3. You don't get personal medics
4. Rambo-ing and breaking away from others is a sure way to get left out from healing (not risking the rest of team to save you if you're out of reach
5. I only get 4 at a time (as mantis at least)
6. Healers have other strats, such as increasing the damage of others, yes if healing is the priority then that comes first
7.From what ive seen healers have some pretty good abilities besides healing, love mantis's sleep attack and primary attack range, have taken out plenty of ironmen and scarlets before they get their ult off (while on heal cooldown)

I assume [most] of these people are streaming (judging by the attitude and inflection) and trying to show viewers that its not their fault theyve lost or to put blame on someone else, yet every time i stick to my usual strats of staying back/with the team, damage when i can, and constantly check all teammates health the ratio and probability of winning is higher/closer.
Just my notes on the subject. i actually came here to find out about the luna mod for custom music XD saw this on the way

Another question, why are all healers forced to do damage? If I wanted to kill things then I would have played dps. I notice this theme in just about every game with heals. It is very annoying.

Very often, I have healers on my team playing as DPS and even sometime getting MVP for most kills. We usually lose match then, what's worse it happens in ranked games too.

But the worse are Jeffs' trolling in ranked games, swallowing their team on capture point making you lose in last second. And no there was no enemy around. :X

Replay code?
No replay code = skill issue + whiff of bronze

I highly doubt a team of 2-3 healers aren't healing at all. My guess is that your healers are either prioritizing other teammates because you might be doing dumb plays and forcing their resources to fast. Otherwise, my favorite as a healer main is that I'm fighting for my life against divers and nobody is turning around then whining about healing.
