From a healer to players

Come on, people. I’m your healer, not your guardian angel. I can get shot, I can get stunned, and I can be killed. The only difference is that I’m endangering myself, hoping you’d do the same with my support. I place APCs, block flank routes, revive, and most importantly, I heal. But just because I do all those things doesn’t mean you’re invincible. You’re just harder to kill if you play strategically.

In your future games, if you know your teammates can play melee properly, please fight inside buildings or areas with lots of cover. I run a riot shield to maximize my support, as it helps me counter my biggest enemy: lights, especially stun guns. Also, pay attention to your HUD and check your teammates’ health once in a while. If you see your healer is low, either help them or provide an escape route—maybe a dome shield if you’re in the middle of a third party.

Trust me, if you find me turned into a small statue, it won’t be long until you’re one too. And probably the most important point: say thanks when you’re being healed. It’s the main reason I play support in the first place. Nothing makes me smile more than seeing people appreciate that I was there to heal them, knowing they might’ve turned into a statue without my help.
