sad life of a flank

[76561198449043689]

healers dont heal u, their immature brain thinks healing a tank is enough, ur job is the most risky job in paladins, because when u get behind the enemy line and they find out u r going to face a 1v5 or 1v4 or 1v3 situation most of the time, yet u dont get enough appreciation for what u do, if ur playing flank that means u r braindead, noob, scum, u dont have enough skill to play a tank or support tho flanks takes skill when u risk ur life every seconds, u r useless tho u kill the player getting away with low hp, in the end ur team lost because of u tho u have most kills in ur team, when a match ends with ur team win the match common line to a flank from enemy team is ahh that ____ champ is ez to play.

did i miss something? if so then add some sad stories u know.

The game isn't about kills but about objectives. You can kill all you want but it won't always lead to victory.
Especially if you're just farming that one dude that's literally useless to the other team.

Interesting situation :) In the game things totally opposite. "No need for tank" , "heal me or else! ", and lots of interesting comments instead of playing the game.
Who's immature? If players rude with teammates, while playing in the team, nothing good going to happen.
Yes tanks always getting most of healing because tanks job very important. Play few rpg games and you'll see why.
Lastly, team strategy can be different. If team wish to move as 1 person to zerg, running all over the place flank simply out of range.

He's saying that it doesn't matter how many kills you get. You can go 100/0/50, but it won't matter if no one on your team is playing the objective but the enemy is. The only kills that actual matter are the ones that let you complete the objective. Go play Team Death Match if you want your kills to matter.

Oh come on flank life is not bad. If you are a good flank then your support will focus on you more than the frontline.

Low level/ElO/rank supports tend to focus on frontline only and have terrible positioning knowledge. Flanks are doomed with these supports.

Most of the flanks have good escapes and self healing so they can survive without support. Don't forget out of combat health regeneration exists.

Imo supports job is much harder because they are targeted by every other class.

And thus leads to the reason why supports can't heal flanks so easily. But flanks think that their bad and are brain dead for not healing them.

[Tricellatops]

I will heal if you my healing reach is infinite and it goes through walls. Most of the time flanks are miles away from me and I have no idea how to heal this Androxus as he yells "Need Healing" while he's so far away.

I can't reach you, Andy
Come back from your killing spree
If I come and heal you,
Will you protect me?

Depends who the healer is, You cant expect a Seris to go out of her way to get you in her line of sight to heal you, Although as a healer main I try to do that mysef, but its just, like you cant expect that mate.

Flank goes solo. They don't rely on their teammates, they can take care of themselves. They either harrass the enemies or chase that lone enemy. They have mobility so yeah whenever you get caught on 2v1 you run and reposition.

Unpopular opinion: it's better if you get killed more than you kill as long as you can zone and hold the enemies from capturing the point rather than you play hide and seek with one enemy.

[sanxsor]

Flanks must prioritize their targets Sniper>Support>Damage>Frontline and avoid 3v1 4v1.

Flanks have self sustain (all but Skye) and you should know the basic of support role to know how to get healed, as example Damba have long range HoT and AoE heals, Jenos is the only one that can heal you through walls, Seris can Heal you if you are next to the first target etc.

[✪ Parriyah]

You sound like one of those flank mains that spam vhs and blame the supports when you constantly overextend and get yourself killed.

You're not the only person in the team. Supports have 3 other teammates to keep alive. Plus, there is a thing called "Line of sight". If you're not in the support's line of sight and behind multiple walls dont expect healing. Even Jenos has a limited range.

Who says that playing as a flanker makes you braindead and a noob? Unless you act super toxic and cant do your job then it is justified. But, If you're doing your job and keeping the enemy at bay then ignore those comments because you know you've done what you're supposed to do.

[En3ermost]

Yeah ok, you can go back spamming vhs to your Grohk teammate now like a true flank main. Cun.t

^Yes and in lower tiers flanks can dominate the game since most people's aim or game sense is potato, tend to engage flanks in 1v1 so they don't really need the help of a support especially buck or a good koga
In higher tiers though your supports should know to heal you if you remain in line of sight
If your jenos went celestial, ask him or her nicely to go luminary
Luminary is better because celestial encourages you to only heal your frontlines while luminary gives more damage to dps characters which makes your jenos heal the dps(flanks+damages) more

The problem is the "burst meta" and the fact that damages could do the same thing as flanks from far away. Manifest destiny lian is crazy

Also some frontlines can pseudo-flank like koa, nando, ash, etc better than other flanks like skye, moji, etc

[Grimminski]

Stop picking flank all the time and choose something useful. I'm tired of filling in for you losers.
