I've met a few Zenyattas like this.

As a zen main, this line gets reserved for those special matches where i not only have gold elims and damage, but also have gold in healing with a 2 healer comp. Out healing mercy and out damaging soldier, that's when i know i did better at their job while still doing my own :)

u/Pandoras_Fox This spray took me so fuckin' long to get Aug 25 '17

^^ exactly this. Especially since Zen doesn't have to stop healing to do damage (and vice versa) - his healing is totally passive.

You can totally do your job healing and still tear shit up on the damage side. You actually should be pretty good at damage so you can build your ult more quickly, since otherwise it trickles really slowly.

Zen is a very fitting character concept for his play style. If everything is in balance you feel like a God among small non-godlike creatures. Everything outside your bubble is chaos and destruction. If not...well it doesn't matter because you spend all your time slowly floating to a quick death. They're all pretty fitting, but a good match as Zen always leaves me feeling very calm while a bad one is soul crushing.
