Why do survivors try to heal me while Broken?

[Howard the duck]

The status effect has been in the game forever and there is some players who genuinely seems to not know about the effect and gets upset they cannot heal me because I used for the people for example. Maybe nobody else sees the broken icon next to the portraits?

No, that icon can be seen by everyone in the game, including the killer. Your teammates just don't know the game. maybe you should stop using For the People on them. After all, they down again after a few seconds.

Been guilty of that myself, idon't play survivor that much and forgot broken was even a status effect and i remember following this Steve using second wind around not sure why i couldn't heal him and why he kept pointing and frantically emoting. Once he healed i realized i was an idiot lol.

In the rush of the game people forget about the status effects.
Once I tried to heal the broken status effect caused by an invocation on a friend of mine and it took me a good second to understand I couldn't heal her because I'm not used to having players with broken status effect when I unhook them.

survivor here, sometimes ya just don't see the broken emblem right away, intense game, killer inflicted or the new sable perk. I'm like "why cant heal them!??! o.o ooh nvm sorry" sksksk

Because no one uses perks that make you broken because they're all useless.

Deliverance is one of the strongest perks in the game.

I used to try to heal a broken status survivors when I was super new, but would shortly realize I couldn’t.
I know with perks like deliverance it’s a matter of waiting the 60seconds before healing.
Now I know with certain perks they are broken all game, or with an invocation spell.

I remember one game, in the backwater swamp map, a Nea found me after I had safely gotten away using deliverance. She circled me and didn’t understand how she could heal me earlier in game , but not at that moment. She waited until the broken status was done before healing me. Usually in that time I want to work on a gen or heal someone else since I gotta wait a minute. A louder gen will muffle the hurt sounds my survivor makes.

Some people forget and just wanna help. They’ll understand if it’s still there after a minute there’s no point in sticking around.
I play a lot of SoloQ so that’s where some of the misunderstandings come because I can’t tell or emote to my team I’m temporarily broken. :’)
