Ever played an Overwatch match where people doggedly refused to play Support?
Why do people play healers in games? Where does that drive come from for someone to log in and want to help someone else instead of seeking glory of their own?
Fundamentally, you are there to enable other people's heroics. It's a bit like being a goalkeeper in football: it's an essential role but one nobody really wants. They want to score goals. This all came flooding back playing Overwatch 2 - when I could log in. Those queues eh? Overwatch is a game with tanks and healers and damage dealers. It's actually built from MMO parts, salvaged from Blizzard's cancelled Titan game. And guess which roles fill up first? I even played some games where no one played Support at all - talk about selfish defiance.
Overwatch really encourages healing, too - or Support, as it calls it. Score tables value healing contributions, or mitigating damage for someone, and there's an Endorsement system made as if to thank people especially for doing so. You can Endorse a team-mate after a match, and it's almost always the healers being thanked first.
