Yeah i never understood that, if someone says i need healing to me i won't get mad, even if they've only lost 3hp. it informs me they have lost health in case i didn't notice.
When you spam "I need healing" as you seem to do your best to hide from your own support trying to get even an inkling of an angle on you, maybe you shouldn't be playing offense.
I'd sooner someone use "I need healing" because it gives me their direct location. Much easier to find than when someone is just shouting at me for healing down the mic.
What's more triggering as a support is that moment when you get NO PROTECTION but after the fight is done "Why didn't you use Valk or Nano on me or heal to get the fight going?"
I mean, serious?
Idk, if you spam i need healing everytime you lose a little health, I won't even react to it anymore. I'd say only use it when your healer clearly isn't noticing you.
On the flip side if you'rr a flanker and yont know you should be returning to the ppint where the healers/tanks are or finding health packs and not expecting ypir healer to come to you you shouldn't be playing dps.
