Healers are not support.Support is debuffing, buffing and CC. Stop calling healers support. Healers are sustains, and belong in the same category as Tanks.
>>744601368You're not wrong but you're fighting an uphill battle with that. It's like how futa has become the term that encompasses shemales, trannies, femboys and 0.1% actual futanari. The whole Support role only exists in old mmorpgs where team comps had a seperate slot for the healer and the support, but good luck that's not coming back anymore
Tanks are not a real class lil bro you fell for the propagandaRanged, melee and cleric are the only things that matterNiggas base their whole personality off how HP is distributed, lol lmao
>>744601368Based. Fuck bikers and cyclists.
>putting his hand up
>>744601689>he fell for the ranged memeHahahahaRanged is not a real class.Only damage and undamage (healing) exists.
Lol.
>>744601368Except healing is support. Your role is in a very literal sense to support others with heals. Most healers also include non-healing buffs as part of their kit.
>>744602160Healing is not support, healer is counter-damage, same thing as tanking. You can counter damage two ways: Stopping it from happening at all (tanking) or healing it after it happens (healing).A healer can have support in his kit, just like a tank can have dps in his kit. But they are still separate roles.
>>744601823why do americans have cyclist?
>>744602160Healing someone doesn't support them. It literally just delays the inevitable. If I revive someone in an FPS after they get downed, I am not giving them a stronger gun or relocating them to a more advantageous position. If anything, I'm giving the guy who shot him a reward, because now he can get two kills for the small price of a minor delay.
>>744602312>casting an absorption shield on the tank is "tanking"
>>744601368healing, buff/debuff, CC and being tanky all lead to the same end result of not dying/preventing HP bars from going to 0so yes, they do the same thing, it's like saying doing damage with a sword and doing damage with a spell are different things, they have nuances but at the end of the day they have the same result
>>744601368That's why shamans in wow are the best depiction of support healers in games. You interrupt, buff, debuff and heal.
i drive like this
>>744602312Except that in the vast majority of cases, one or the other is not enough, you need both tanking and healing. A thief is going to pop like a balloon even with a healer and a tank is just going to get whittled down to nothing without a healer. >>744602436This entire post is just plain idiotic. Preventing someone from dying does support them. Removing debuffs (another common role of healing) does also support them.
>>744601368Healers are so fucking boring in every single game ever, be it MMO, MOBA, or Coop>let's make a absolutely mandatory class that you always need for nearly all relevant content>let's also make it the most braindead class to play so anybody good at our game will find it the most boring thing imaginable>of course this leads to only mentally ill attention chores who suck at the game to play it!>Oh they're complaining that healer isn't broken enough?>let's make it even more broken!This is the cycle of every game with a trinity system.
>>744602436If you extend the time they are alive, you are extending the time they can deal damage, and therefore, their damage. Yes, healing someone is support. Sustain is a form of support. Idiot.
>>744603945By that logic, by killing enemies, they are unable to deal damage, thus preventing damage to allies. So DPS and Tank are the same. This is how retarded you sound.
>>744601368Autists who try to force me into their ACTUALLY retarded point of view are really irksomeYou have autism now shut the fuck up. There's no cure.>>744601368
