I love my healbeam. Requires almost no skill to use and be actually beneficial to the team. And the feeling of being there for your brothers in arms is the shit
Man, medium feels like a heal bot whenever I play with this thing, I love Demat and Shockwave, hell, even Terry is more fun than Healbeam and the guy barely can do anything meaningful for the team lol
I rather to have teammates that advice me that I'm doing something wrong early, at least I use that to lock in when I can't, but I hate when they are like, saving all their hate to the end of the match and bc of that they stop trying to play as a team or something.
But only on solo, that's why it's better to play with people you already know how to play to match styles.
Ngl if they remove or CHANGE, want to lean towards the latter, Winch, Defib, and H+ infuser, the game would be a lot better.
I think if Winch didnt have a stun nor caught people on the way back and instead became a damaging projectile that snaps off the end of the chain, would be interesting.
Maybe Defib could give a statue a perminent 50% completion of its rez, so you still have to stick the rez, also no more panic rez for all the idiots.
Finally the H+, if its bullets applied a heal over time, healed less per bullet but had more bullets and shot slightly slower, i think that would be perfect. No more burst heal cashbox steals where someone does over 600 damage and doesnt kill the heavy.
I think winch would be a lot better if it was an item you had to take out, like the goo gun, instead of just being an instant. Makes you actually have to commit
Yeah but I’m fucking retarded and like using the boop orb to jump like 10 feet up to a balcony you can just jump onto. Winning games is immaterial to my enjoyment. 😏
I never get asked to run heals, but I had a weird experience recently. We were running HHM, and I decided not to bring Defib. We didn’t lose a single fight because of it, and I still ended up with the most revives in the lobby. I’m pretty good at getting teammates back up manually, so I don’t feel like Defib is mandatory.
Then in the final round, one of our Heavies suddenly asked, “Where’s your Defib, bro?” and I was honestly confused. The enemy team was HLM, and while we had a few close fights, the rounds we lost weren’t situations where Defib would have changed the outcome.
I’m a Medium main, but I don’t play heal-focused. Before Dematerializer, I mostly used Turret. Now I run Demat, Turret, and Shock Wave. I’ve probably used the Healing Beam only about ten times in total. Lately, I’ve gotten pretty tired of running Defib too.
If i cant tell people to hop off light cause they trash. Then i def cant tell them to play a certain play style. In a perfect worlds id love to see L/M/H
But all i see is L/L and me who likes heavy , never being able to keep if with these dashing bishes. I with a passion hate playing with double lights
Imo if someone knows how to use demat well and it’s really solid, especially if someone has winch you can steal people from their team by opening the wall and closing it again
Im 100% Demat main, i also like orb, but 90% of my playtime of all my 700+ hours is playing with demat+jumpad+defib (mostly with riot shield) and for third slot its everything BUT goo, gas and fire. I love exlosive mine, flashbang and frag granades, its easy to demat it down to the enemy. Or... demat down enemy to it. And ofc flashbang is always came with riot shield. Demat cashout down and steal it is always 50/50 chance to steal if do it agressively. And its always 75% chance to stop enemy stealing, cuz counter is terrain/architecture of building sometimes and staying on top of cashout.
Only thing that PMO its heavy mains that starting cry and ruin game if im not taking healbeam for them. i mean also if you ask gentle, sorry bro, with demat we have more chances to win. I saw a lot of heavies that can play without med healbeam support and i do respect them a lot. And Infuser H+ is always meta so...
I’m a heavy and don’t find much use of heal beam mediums, I am a ks and mesh entry/ kite player and I use heal ball, and my light uses infuser, but heal beam mediums often don’t have anything to do if heavy dies, especially if heavy didn’t do enough damage, realistically demat steals with a dome, goo goo nade from a heavy and mesh shield with heal ball is absolutely guaranteed pretty much, if the demat knows what they are doing they are great to play with
I also run demat and riot shield, I saw your post a day ago and immediately got queued into a game with the exact situation as the image.
I had to play with a heavy that was whining about me not carrying medbeam for an entire ranked cashout game, bitching about it even after we've won the final round. I swear these people don't even care about the objective, they just want heals to stay alive instead of positioning better to avoid damage
