If I HAVE to play healer, I'll pick Mercy. Lucio is great at being evasive but I can do better with Mercy. The entire time I'm playing as her, all I can think about it how boring this is, and why in the world would anyone want to do this.

I bet people who prefer to be a healer just suck at getting kills but still want to participate so they stick with healers to make themselves feel important.

Getting kills is an important job. Without kills, there is no winning.

Nope, objectives are more important than kills and you can get objectives while the other team is alive but you can't get them if your team is dead.

it is. one job being important doesn't make another job not be important.

my 5e party has four characters--a tank/support hybrid (paladin) who boosts party saves, controls the battlefield by limiting enemy movement, and has insane AC/defenses himself; a ranged DPS character who has one job--kill shit; an AoE/disabling sorcerer; and a healer.

when any one of the group decides they don't feel like doing their job, the whole team suffers. our ranged dps character drew a sword and attacked an enemy instead of using his bow because he thought they'd be a pushover. he was promptly smacked the fuck down and we barely survived.

the reason we DID survive was our life cleric healed us for about 300HP worth over the course of the fight.

I can just not heal you if you'd prefer.

See, this line of thinking doesn't make sense to me. Healers refusing to do their job just because they don't like the teammate is straight up petty. You're the one that chose the boring role so do your job.

If the enemy team is dead they're not going to stop you. Good DPS and backline killers can destroy teams. Why do you think skilled Genji mains are so dreaded?

I was a legit high ranked player in MOBAs and was able to perform well in every role, support included.

It's a challenging and rewarding role. Fun, too, since you don't just stand there and throw heals.

So you agree that you need to be alive to take objectives, thanks for proving my point.

Healer decent role to play when you want a break from roles. doing the same thing for marginal benefits gets boring and burn out from role is real cause itll never be as fun as it once was

I dont mind it so much in PvE games, but in PvP its just not worth the hassle. Youre focused on like the big E at the optometrist, but with very little in the way of defending yourself. You have to depend on teammates that are pure garbage 99.99~% of the time.

I typically play as something that is relatively self-sustaining. Overwatch is pretty much the only game I ever play now. Roadhog and 76 are my typical go-to picks. Sometimes Ill rev up Bastion.

I played a healer in EverQuest since they were the best soloers at the time (even better than Enchanters and Necromancers). When I grouped up, I was automacially named the healer since, well, I was also able to heal (not as well as a Cleric, however). What I recall from being a healer is that you always see who screws up, and how good the tank is/isn't. And PUGs suck 80% of the time. At least.

Were you a shaman or druid or what

Shaman back in Velious. Torpor + 75% slow = you could solo any melee mob with ease. The hardest part was breaking up camps as Shaman, which you would really solve by rooting them one by one.

Yeah I quit when 70 was the level cap, I could solo pretty easily with my 70 druid by doing root/rot and such. But towards the end damn near everything could summon you

Post75 shaman spells healing was great. group healing, group heals, AA healing, AA heals, then cann yourself to oblivion and back again with group heal balances

my favorite role to play is control. I love buffing my teammates, debuffing the enemies, doing all kinds of crazy shit to fuck around the battlefield, etc.
it's too bad that online games have mostly shifted to a DPS/Tank/Healer group. out of those I like to tank the most

DND still works though, although lately i've been DMing so it's another form of control

DPS in WoW was pretty brainless when I played, apart from a few builds that had trickier rotations. Healing and tanking were way more fun. And who wants to wait 15-20 minutes to get into a group for the daily heroic?

Its the one class you dont have a problem looking for a group as when playing solo.

Everyone needs a healer and most people dont want to play as one. Or at least know how to do it right.
