Do people actually enjoy playing the healer?


I never understood the appeal of babysitting the team while they get to enjoy the fun combat.
>>
Healer can be fun when your team is good like when you're playing with your friends. However when playing with randoms it's just annoying and frustrating 2bh.
>>
It feels good to be of help.

I don't know why I just like support classes. Tank, buff, heals. It's all good.
>>
I like playing classes classes that can both damage and heal. Like I used to love playing shadow priest in WoW because I both shitty damage and shitty healing instead of one or the other. I also really enjoyed chloromancer in Rift. That's why I think Lucio is a great fit for me, since I can do damage and be useful by healing simultaneously. Mercy is way too fucking passive for me.

Healer class is basically the tactician role and emphasises how good teamwork can defeat a more powerful opposing team.

Basically healers are the ultimate team players, and solo players should at least learn how to play healers to understand this.

>>340340898
I've played healer in a few MOBAs before, but my experience as healer in shooters is minimal. I will say that making big saves for your buddies can be pretty fun, but I much prefer to bring some actual impact to fights other than just topping off somebody's HP when they need it.
>>
>>340342391
Are you genuinely implying that Mercy's gun is any threat at all?
>>
It depends on what kind of healer, I'll use OW as an example

>Mercy
Literal cucks who think they're carrying the team and will often hide behind a wall while purposely not healing their team so they can try and get POTG.

>Lucio
Someone who wants to actually win and picks the best healer in the game, alternatively they're playing on a map with easy environment kills.

>Zenyatta
Someone who wants to get kills AND heal at the same time, not as useful as the Lucio but they at least want to play the game rather than being a passive Mercy cuck. Hates Widowmakers and Hanzos more than anything else.

Mercy's a whole lot of fun, and Lucio's great on the point. A lot more to manage than the Medic in TF2, but you don't have as many offensive options comparatively.

Nothing worse. Sitting back and waiting for everyone to die then bitching about it rather than fessing up and picking the classes that matter more.

As FPS medic, I'm always at the top of the scoreboard because rezozing and healing gives so any easy points
>>
I like playing Medic in TF2.

I don't just follow around any Heavy and wait to die. I pick some one competent and stick with them. I also heal up everyone when they're nearby, unless it's an obnoxious scout.

And I rarely die. If it looks like my heal target is being an idiot and going to get us both killed, I let him do his thing and go find some one smarter to help. Plus I'm great with the syringe gun, so weak or damaged classes go down fast if I'm alone. It's pretty fun.

It's funny how /v/ says healers are boipussi sluts when they're actually the ones spraying health all over tank/DPS classes. And those classes are literally begging for it too.

I guess it depends though. Maybe a lot of healers are dumb wimps who follow around other party members like lapdogs. Good healers will let idiots die and focus on good players. You have to earn your healing by not being a fucktard.
>>
>>340345030
their mobility is the worst in the game though. Zenyatta is slower than King zora, lucio doesn't have anything, mercy takes an absurdly obvious vector towards a target she is visually tethered to

most of the dps classes can heal themselves with abilities and also there are medpacks all over the map
>>
>>340340898
I do, because I like being useful at something.

>>340344626
In Overwatch, when support is taken, Roadhog is just as satisfying, honestly. Hooking the enemy support out for your team, or jumping in front of bullets and healing the damage.
Support is really satisfying, but nothing is more satisfying than jumping in front of a support and tanking the shots heading for them.
>>
>>340345170

I use to do that but the more I played the more I learned when to use the boost. Also I'm almost always in heal mode unless I'm by myself or with a high health character, then it's speed boost and razmataz all over the fucking place.

The one issue I still have is with his ultimate. If I try to hold onto it until it's really needed, like a push or defending against another ultimate then I'll use it once or twice a match. On the other hand I could just use it when there's one or two people around but then it just feels like a waste.

TF2 Medic was super fun. You had shit to do at all times, even when your team wasn't involved in a skirmish, and you could also definitely stand your own ground in a fight with the needle gun and bonesaw whenever healing wasn't absolutely necessary. Haven't played Overwatch, but Lucio sounds like a fun guy, mobility and troubadour buffs plus heals in one package? Hell yeah.

Everything anon? Even shit they statistically excel at like stationary studying, group work, and safe driving?

Also women have better immune systems and are more likely to survive traumatic injuries of the same type and severity. Their organs are actually more efficient then men, which is part of the reason why they live longer.

Men are, in a manner of speaking, overclocked. There's a price for the accelerated metabolic output. Men can do a lot of work but eventually their bodies give out.

I think he's a better position 3 support than a position 3 core though. GGreaves and Aghs Refresher = free wins lmao
