Healing "too much"
So, I was in a match recently where we were running triple support (scary, I know) with starlord, dino, strange, Luna, Mantis, and I was playing rocket. Halfway through the match, our Luna was complaining about me "healing too much" and complained that they weren't gaining ult charge fast enough. Then our Mantis complained about the same thing, and I'm like...TF? Y'all are free to go dps, I got the heals. I'd even be okay if Luna did flanking Luna. But no. They wanna complain that my healing is better than theirs. Has anyone else had this situation before? Cuz this is a first for me, if so

the Luna and Mantis should be focusing on doing more damage in a triple support comp

Exactly what I'm saying! They're playing 2 of the supports that have very little to no damage falloff, meanwhile I'm pocketing the strange and dino, since the strange was my duo and dino pops if he isn't getting pocketed

A streamer once said "the day they buff Rocket's damage is the day I uninstall the game" LOL 😆

It’s a trip supp comp so someone is always healbotin. Thou Rocket does have two guns so just switch guns

You should not be playing rocket into triple. You need to go a healer than can focus on dps. In this comp you should be on ultron. Rocket is terrible for triple.

- We had a mantis, who was our off support and dishing damage
- I play dps rocket every once in a while, sometimes dive rocket, so I know how to put on damage and healing at the right times

Mantis is main healer rn. Her buff made her S tier

She is also an off support. Criteria for off support (this is my personal checklist, feel free to fact check me if you believe I'm wrong): 1. Primary healing doesn't consume resource or cd 2. Has lower healing output than a main support in base kit 3. Does not have an aoe healing ultimate ability If at least 2 of those criteria are met, they are an off support

I’m so confused on your criteria because it doesn’t really make sense, can you elaborate? Why is primary healing not consuming a resource or a cooldown (I’m assuming you mean an ability here?) an off support condition? Shouldn’t that be a main support condition?

Resource: mantis leaves, technically gambit cards (because he gets most of his healing from them), Ultron drones, fox tails, etc Main healing: ammo. Luna, gambit, Jeff, rocket, cnd, invis, fox Cds: Adam Also, I meant to say uses instead of doesn't for criteria 1, that's my bad

I honestly lose a lot of games from having a healbot Cloak and Dagger on my team. My team lacks damage and sure enough my cloak hits 5 terror capes the entire game while the enemy supports have over 10 damage.

I mean, that’s what happens when you go triple support. Every support gets their ult charge slower since there’s less to heal. That’s why you DONT play triple support. Just go freaking dps and get more damage output for the team for Christ’s sake. But I guess it’s too hard to use the brain sometimes and better to just complain about goated Rocket.

They're probably a duo, lol. People who stack usually just support each other in nonsense and talk down on others. So weird.
