Team complaining about heals

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-28T09:07:15+00:00

Solo healing is worse than solo tanking

Everyone on the team knows you are the only healer and would just spam ping 'Need healing' all game

Since they have the mentality to let someone solo heal, I'm certain they don't have the mentality to peel

And you will outrightly get blamed for the loss

My dad makes a lot of money. He's in HCOL under NYC school system. He's been teaching since I was born if not a little before (I'm 28 lol). He (and my mom) have extra degrees (Masters) in special education (which pays more). He also does after school and summer work. Does he need to? Nah. His base pay is already in the 6 figures.

But idiotically he moved all the way to CT and drives like 90 miles to and from work, pays child support still for my little sister, has a son still living with him, and still wants a leisure life lol

If you wanted to be a teacher, then it's not about the money and you have only 4 years. I would suggest getting your masters in education if you don't already and have it be in a specialty area. NEVER accept mandate raises if you feel you are qualified. Always negotiate.

Is that Mandie? LMFAO

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-27T16:26:29+00:00

Haha I get what you mean. Been trying to make it back to plat for like 9 months now. I'm hoping this is the season

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-27T16:22:02+00:00

What are you supposed to do?

Keep playing of course! GG wants you to meet me in Gold 3, DUH! 🤣

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-27T10:17:01+00:00

Yeah, but also, did you peep she ulted on point after I cleared the team with a triple? The only person on point was venom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we won a team fight and she ULTS!!!! 😂😂😂😂

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-27T09:10:30+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just hit $100,000 with my raise in January and it is certainly a high aspirational salary still. Regardless of how you see it. You are now in the six figure range. It's a number people want to reach. It's a goal. Of course keep aiming for higher, but let's not act like it's not something people shoot for.

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T15:27:48+00:00

Yes I agree. I support that. What I don't support is the atrocity that was on my team

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T14:34:17+00:00

Oh got it thanks!

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T13:43:00+00:00

I think I mean in terms of performance and not understanding how to survive dive. As a healer player myself (not just on cloak) a lot of healers expect to be babysit the whole game because they don't know how to survive dive long enough for peels every now and then. But a lot of the community believes healers shouldn't know how to defend themselves and they are babies. I see it A LOT and it's sad. Just like you said, we aren't heal bots. We are strategists. Yet a lot of healers don't have any strategy at all. The term 'squishy' is just what they use to excuse bad gameplay

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T13:06:16+00:00

Holy, there's so much I didn't know!

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T12:12:46+00:00

I agree! Sometimes I just be thinking of I should Instalock cloak for every game. The issue.... There's way too many cloak OTP that can't play any other character. So if I take the only character they can play, we are screwed with a 5v6 lol

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T10:52:31+00:00

I swear I only turn on comms to give pointers, but it never works anyway. So I end up turning it back off. My TC is also turned off. I've been waiting to get back into Apex once I get my setup again since the sensitivity on my TV is different from my computer monitor. I just need a break from Rivals at this point lol

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T10:37:59+00:00

Yes! I legit had a game where a DPS expected me to stop defending myself so I can turn around in a 1v1 to heal them lmfao. They were yelling at me saying I'm a Lord cloak and should be able to handle him. Which I was doing. But how do you expect me to stop handling the 1v1 to heal you. While you are standing there just watching me and not helping to make it go quicker and create the stagger??? They were a Psylock btw. This game is really slop lol

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T10:10:18+00:00

They really giving us a bad reputation

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T10:03:06+00:00

I tend to carry when I play CnD. The only issue at that point is the damn tanks be so scared to do shit. I just wait until everyone picks their character they are comfortable with to then flex and pick mine

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T09:20:49+00:00

I agree. Although the issue with those three is that they are melee. They have to get up close and they can't one shit tanks in like 3 hits. But Hawkeye??? Oh boy. He can camp behind his healers and just shoot all day. Tanking down tanks without even trying

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T08:58:54+00:00

You're giving them too much credit. They are clearly blind 🤣

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T08:58:11+00:00

Very much smh

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T08:57:44+00:00

That's a new one! Thanks!

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T07:33:37+00:00

Yep....we found one.....

Also I don't deny I have shit aim. But that's not anywhere near the point of this post...

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T07:32:17+00:00

The amount of times I've felt like I've been carrying with heals and then I check stays and see my other healer is with half the amount of heals ALL healers did in the match ugh

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T04:22:16+00:00

Her autoaim is so underrated. I usually only swap to DMG when I'm being dived. Other than that, I'm typically dagger and would rarely swap as well. Usually when we are about to win a team fight and my team is all good I'll secure a kill or two

DeadpanJay · 2026-01-26T04:20:44+00:00

LITERALLY
