Looking for a Heal support

[Rootin']

So I'm just beginning, and I want to play support because from the imediately accessible gods, I really liked the healing abilities. Which gods are best at healing friends?

[Black_Knight]

A very good healer and tank(not necessarily a support, but recommended that a tank is the support) is Slyvanus, he has a good amount of CC and his heals are very useful as well as allowing you to maintain your mana a lot better thanks to his plant(which gives 20 MP5). Sylvanus is very fun overall and he's one of my favorite tanks

[Dark_Clown]

for support sylvanus or guan yu
or if you want to go back to season 0 aphrodite

[Professor Genki]

Sylvanus like Black_Knight said.
Or Terra because like Sylvanus she has a good amount of CC and her heal great. The only downside for most people with these 2 is the fact both are low in damage but they make up for that by being tanky.

[screeno42]

Sylvanus and Terra are tanks with a heal, Guan Yu is a warrior with heal(not as tanky, but better damage output), and Aphrodite, Hel, and Ra are all mages with heals(they're the squishiest choices, but can also have the highest damage output.) Also, if you're planning on healing remember to get lotus crown and rod of asclepius in your builds.

I stick with Chang'e and Ra, since they can heal yet still do fair share of damage if necessary.

The problem with picking up a healer, in the current season, is a majority of the anti-heal items are readily available and have enough benefit that you will see people almost pick them up even if they don't need them. Take the tanky item pestilence for example. It provides 80 magical protection, while also reducing healing in an area around the player. It's a pretty inexpensive item as well.

If you are dead set on picking up a healer, I'd recommend Terra, Sylvanus, or for more of a healer than a tank, Ra and Hel. Aphrodite is technically the best single target healer though. I would advise against Guan, because his heal is rather weak, and because it's got a low cooldown and you can spam it, a very large mana drain. I also advise against chang'e because of how weak, even with Rod of Asclepius, her heals are.

You need a frontline. Without it u will lose everytime vs good teams. Stay away from mage supports

Are you two actively trying to make new players bad at the game?

They could be thinking about non conquest

I'm also not sure that some of the people replying here aren't just thinking of "healers" and ignoring the "support" part...

alot of people consider support as healer rather than the role itself

I am looking more for the "healer" part than a "support" part.
however, I am taking a bit of a liking to khepri so far. that revive is useful and abduct has been insanely lethal so far.

Khepri is the bae of any team just like a Sylvanus/Terra or Geb

Oh yes, because support is the role healers occupy in a lot of other video games... In which case, there's nothing wrong with suggesting "healers" more than "supports", especially since there's less defined "roles" outside Conquest, but just as an explanation for the apparent disconnect between what some people think are good suggestions or not.
