    Crazy how TF2 fixed the "nobody wants to play healer" in fucking 2007 by simply adding healing kits onto the map, and 15 years later a massive company can't figure it out.

      Nah, TF2 still has nobody wants to play the healer. Any team with a halfway-competent medic usually dominates the other one. You fix nobody being healer via healthpacks and having literally no healer available, á la Quake.

      Doctor was pretty cool though with the invincibility ray. It was a cool twist on healing characters that would make you feel like a god for like 30s while you and the heavy mowed down everything in front of you.

      Overwatch has health packs around the map, the same way TF2 does. And the healers in Overwatch are actually fun to play as and interesting because you don't have to just stand behind some guy with your proton pack thingy. TF2 is the game you make if you're trying to get tryhard players who want to waste their life honing their skills on a game. Overwatch is what you make if you want people to actually have fun lmao. TF2 is insanely boring compared to Overwatch. Standing around in the spawn area in Overwatch is more interesting than playing TF2.

      There are a ton of Overwatch players who main playing healers. Like people who are Mercy mains probably enjoyed Overwatch a lot more than any other competitive shooter
