Strategist is the most important role in the game, but it can be tough. Whether you play Jeff the Land Shark, Luna Snow, Cloak and Dagger, Adam Warlock, Mantis or others, these tips will help you stay sane as you play.

the strat is to always praise your supports so they keep pocketing you and you only

"Where are my heals?!!"

Idk. Maybe don't Leroy Jenkins into the enemy squad, and you'll receive some.

I also find it very helpful to make sure the other healer(s) are topped up on health! Us healer girlies gotta support one another

[shahs]

My most favorite thing as a strategist is having another support with me and when we're getting bombarded, we try to keep each other alive as much as possible as if we're holding each other before being obliterated or we get saved when the rest of the team comes back from spawn 😂The same goes with being a tank (I main Magneto). I will try my best to keep my supports alive, while they do the same for me. I've gotten so many moments where rando supports and I will just survive forever just from keeping each other safe. It feels great!

seeing people ACTUALLY watching this makes me happy and sad at the same time that nobody likes the healers but they need them. :(

Funniest game to me was a game where I played cloak & dagger and the rest of my team was 5 dps players, I got mvp with 22k healing and they had the audacity to say healer diff. Something about such delusion just always gets me laughing, like you do you man

[LightningBoltah]

I've been rotating my selection based on the maps and whether or not I am attacking or defending. All the healers feel strong tbh but Jeff is love, Jeff is life.

Telling a support player that their primary job is to heal is the classic bronze-tier mindset.
As a support, you should focus on dealing as much damage as possible while keeping your team alive. The only health point that truly matters is the last one. If someone is at half HP but has defensive abilities available or isn’t in immediate danger, and you have to choose between healing them or securing a kill, you should prioritize killing the enemy.
Overfocusing on damage initially and gradually learning when healing is necessary is the best way to improve as a support player. It’s easy to fall into the role of a “healbot” and achieve some success, but you’ll never truly excel if you do that.
Your ultimate goal is to win, not to appease every DPS player you encounter. They are just tools to achieve victory, and their feelings don’t matter.

I cannot tell you how many time's I've been playing Mantis and I've said, "Ironfist/Thor/Magik/whatever on me" like several times, then died, announce that I'm dead, then hear "Where are my heals???!?!?!?!?!???" Bro. BROTHER. SHUT.

[LordHollow]

We don't do it for the accolades... The team needs us...

[lightseeder]

Me telling my team: Hey, theres a tank and 2 dps that keeps diving and killing us in the back. If you want healing, help us.
My team: Keeps pushing forward without ever looking back.
My team: NEED HEALING, WHY NO HEALING

[Suspect]

i play games to have fun and not get yelled at by idiots who make stupid decisions lol

[kevinellis]

*Long time dedicated healers/supports from OW1*: First time, huh?

[empty_melodies]

7:18 As someone who mains a healer and a tank, _THIS_ is the most important tip! 💯

[rizzzzzza]

You’re going to be healing a lot yes, but there’s a reason why Overwatch and now Marvel Rivals does not refer to them as healers. Their job is SOOOO much more than healing, and a lot of times dps is a big part of that. For instance, mantis can heal well, but focusing on healing is severely underutilizing her toolkit. She not only does insane damage, but she should be throwing out as much damage buffs where possible to help the team get easier picks. Her sleep ability also completely removes a player from completely removes enemies from important team fights if used properly.

If I’m playing cloak and dagger, I’m almost in cloak form as much as I’m dagger, because his ability to cause nearsightedness and completely block damage and ults is another massive toolkit loss if you’re just healbotting.

If you want to be a turret that spams nothing but healing, then play Jeff, but if that’s the case PLEASE leave characters like C/D, Mantis, and Loki to more experienced players.

[MassiveHappyTime]

I’ve only been able to play support because anyone I play with only plays dps or tank 😢. I do like playing Loki and Snow but I just wish I wasn’t stuck in the Support Role because of how often I get backlined

[LordHollow]

Any allies close to an enemy that Dagger is hurting is healed. Attack the enemy in skirmishes.

[mylesbreaux]

These are valid tips honestly but the problem is when I do these things like most games it still doesn't matter because my team either runs off out of line of sight, never fall back when pressured, don't protect backline, etc I still get blamed regardless

[Nopalope]

I swear to god if someone pings me for heals again I’m going to lose it. In the time you used to ping, you could have gotten a med pack yourself. Also I can see if your dying

[davidodonohoe]

Cloak and dagger balance is superb. Dmg is awesome but only up close. Keeps the natural rhythm on heals where it should be but having cloak for defense is just amazing. Gotten multiple 20k heals on quick (so just one sided push). Always 5k plus heals per round. Very few deaths they have top tier survivability.
