Every day brings me closer to June 9th, when I can finally get back to my PC…
I really do viscerally detest “I need healing” and wish I could toggle it off on a hotkey or that Blizzard would remove it. There’s a level of confirmation bias in my irritation (I forget every wounded Reinhardt but remember every single 199/200HP Genji), but I do feel it’s pretty poorly designed. I would like it if they made it so that everyone had to see how god-awfully annoying their teammates were rather than it being quarantined to just the messenger and healer.
To be fair, if someone uses the line twice when I’m in spawn, I switch off healer out of spite, so maybe I’m just cranky…
Kind of glad Roadhog’s damage output is being reduced…now there’s a chance he won’t one-hit kill me when I’m hooked as Mercy (but then of course shoots me a second time and I die anyway but…details).
As far as I know, it depends on who you’re playing. If you’re a character with abilities that can heal other players (including Soldier 76), you see them, but I’m fairly sure you don’t if not. It might be a setting that you can adjust?
My friends and I tend to get grousey about people who spam it, so I definitely know there’s cases where I’m just not seeing it when they are (and vice-versa).
ah, I main soldier so that would make sense. i definitely agree that if it’s gonna be in there as a voice line, everybody should have to see your heal-requesting shame lol
I think you’re right about soldier’s part and his healing ability. As far as I know there aren’t really any settings for it, just lots of automated stuff in the background dependent on teamcomp and who you’re looking at.
Torbjörn gives armor and Zarya (and Symmetra?) can shield. If there’s no healer, they hear “I need armor” or “I need shields” whenever someone requests healing. If those two aren’t present and there aren’t any healers either, the line “I need healing” switches to “We need a healer”.
Also: I recently figured out that whenever a teammate says “I need healing”, you can look at them and respond with “I need healing” which then changes to “Come to me for healing”. It helps. Sometimes.
We did a 3v3 last night with a team that refused to use a comp that wasn’t Tank/Bastion/Widowmaker. You know what the best thing in the world is?
The best thing in the world is seeing is Widow trying to grapple away, only to be grabbed by a Hog hook, and then booped off of the map by the most murderous Lucio. V good HQC. (also we won that 3-0, without losing a mans in any round)
Look, you’re assuming I’m saying he vapes that flavored nicotine stuff. Zenyatta owns a specialized vape for dry cyber-herbs. I’m sorry all the vape enthusiasts you’ve seen are terrible.
My vap-bias aside, does Zeny need to? I mean, the dude has reached a level of enlighten where a missile swarm won’t phase him. Dude may be able to reach all sorts of fun highs internally, without cyber-herbs or rigs or whatever.
That being said, there is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that Sombra and Sym vape, and are all about sweet vape tricks.
SOMBRA 100% VAPES. I feel like Sym vapes but like, her rig is super slim and elegant. She does it for the aesthetic.
Zenyatta’s preferred aesthetic is probably like, an incredibly sincere love of sweaters with cute animals on them.
We’re also missing the obvious, which is that McCree vapes. His cigar is actually a custom vape pen he got designed to match with the rest of hia outfit.
I know there’s a setting to show allied health bars on a per character basis, by default it’s only on for the healers but I have it turned on for Soldier and Torbjorn. it’s possible the game looks at that setting when deciding what callouts to highlight.
If this wasn’t new donk city dot com, I would totally ask the mods to change this thread title to SOMBRA 100% VAPES.
As for McCree, I can definitely see an argument for him vaping, BUT ALSO I can see him as a for real cigar snob to match his cowboy cosplay/ impress his boyfriend & his weeb brother.
sorry sombra doesn’t vape. i didn’t want to have to lay it down but i have done thorough research and according to my findings from my official source President Blizzard (massive lore spoilers ahead) genji vapes / mcree vapes / pharah vapes / reaper is straight edge / soldier drinks 8 cups of coffee a day / sombra smokes gross hand-rolled half-tobacco joints / tracer vapes / bastion is a good boy / hanzo vapes herbs / junkrat has a chunky vape rig / mei bongs it / torbie bongs it / widow smokes e-cigarettes / d-va says she vapes online but doesn’t irl / orisa thinks vaping is illegal / reinhardt ??? (inconclusive) / roadhog bongs it / winston does edibles / zarya is straight edge / ana has a grow operation / lucio vapes / mercy smokes cigarettes / symmetra vapes / zenny bongs it
