FAR Too Many Strategists Play As Duelists and Put Healing On Low Priority If At All

[Borko]

I'm seeing this CONSTANTLY. It's driving me insane. I'm right infront of them on low health and they're doing damage instead. I press the "need healing" button and they ignore me to hold right click on Jeff and play frontline and then die. They never look to their left or right, mostly ignore their team and just focus on damage.
I can't even say anything to them about it or I'll 100% be reported and banned if I do it enough times because that's how games like this work.

So not only does almost nobody want to play Strategist, but the people that do just play them like Duelists and focus on doing damage above all.

I'm getting so tired of this. It makes it suck to play Strategist myself because the other one is going to be mostly doing damage and I'll have to keep the team up by myself.

Incapable of having a discussion without resorting to pettiness and demeaning. Easy block.

Your post is 100% pettiness LOL.

And why do you find your age demeaning? That makes no sense.

The reason healers attack is because the DPS are asleep instead of hitting priority targets.

Gee maybe because I'm not a kid and you said it purely to be insulting as you continue to do so now?

I'm sorry if you feel self-conscious about your age and immaturity but that doesn't mean you get to project it onto other people and make them the bad guy. I didn't insult you.

I don't know why you're trying to derail this conversation by hyper focusing on your own age anyway. That's not what this thread was about, but I guess anything to distract from people noticing that your post is exactly the kind of thing you're complaining about.

I wish the mods actually lifted a single finger to do anything about trolls. Far too many people that are only on these forums to troll and get people to fight them for entertainment.

tell me about it i stand in front of them spamming need heals with a big glowing red symbol on me & still receive 0 heals like LOOOOOL.

They must have broken keyboard or there fingers are incapable of pressing the button because the stupidity of it is real.

Tbh honest I main luna and I try my ass off to heal people and the end game results make it seem like I just stood there. Im not sure what the deal is. I see myself healing and the game is like nah bro. I wonder if other people are experiencing this.

Now Im not gonna claim my aim is basically like Chris Kyle, but I feel duped. Just know its not all of us man.

Maybe you shouldn't expect other people to do the least fun thing possible in a video game that exists for fun.

ok but then why would you pick the healer role

Because the healers are good at DPSing.

Well if you think your team doesn't have enough healing, you're always free to heal people yourself. And if the developers want people to be healing, they should make healing fun.

yeah i play adam warlock, his main thing is healing and keeping people alive yknow

Adam Warlock is a bad example, his healing is terrible compared to other healers because it's locked behind a cooldown, most of your time is spent DPSing.

[John Cena]

well the shark can heal himself so he is a pretty good duelist

Im really enjoying the healing in this game. So far loving Mantis/cloak&dagger.

But mantis has to wait for the heals to recharge especially in a push and sometimes when players swarm together the wrong person gets the heal and on cloak&dagger i will admit sometimes if i get a support or dps blinded i do try focus them for the extra damage but only if i feel the team can survive.

Also im not chasing after you to heal if you push too deep on your own or abandon the objective, its hard enough trying to heal people who insist on running behind walls and pillars.

Mantis is not a main healer. She's a counterpick to guard against flankers. You can get your healing back pretty quickly through headshots but like Adam Warlock you're not meant to be spamming healing. Your role is to take out flankers. She's a bit like Brigitte but without the Inspire uptime.

I main support and focus on healing but if im getting killed constantly you can quite frankly go ♥♥♥♥ yourself till you help me

[Branded Swordsman 𒉭]

That's when you know you're on the losing side.

[BlunderingFool]

You want healing? Quantum Magic!

Healbots don't work in this game, same as in OW2, except against total scrubs. You need to be applying pressure on your opponents, even as a Support. This has always been the correct strategy for Supports ever since OW2 began (actually a few years before OW2 began), the reason you are losing is probably because you are focusing too much on healing.

Heal when you need to but focus on killing your opponents. All the healers in this game are good at killing, even Rocket, though in Rocket's case I find you get more value healing most of the time because of how good his healing is.
