Healer mains are insufferable the higher I rank up (D1- GM2)

This is from a former Fist main to a current Tank main. This post isnt targeted at all healers. But this is something I've noticed the instant i entered GM lobbies. Most of the times my team loses is because of either ONE or both of the healers. Here are some of the reasons ive observed:

1. Trying to dps instead of heal.

- Everyone and i mean EVERYONE is low and the cnd is frontlining and dpsing. Then they have the audacity to say "Im not a healbot". Nobody is asking you to healbot. BUT if we are taking heavy frontline damage from SG or Namor or Bucky and Thing, YES you have to healbot first. Same as how if we are facing heavy dive comp, we peel first, then push. Everyone has their role. Stick to it.

2. Snagging ace due to said dpsing and then blaming dps players.

- They are actively letting dps die to get some final hits. I legit saw my bucky get jumped my Thing ( Bucky was countering him) and he got zero help because the healers were in front. Yes, you have the Ace, but ACE MEANS NOTHING. YOU COULD BE ACE AND STILL BE THE REASON WE ARE LOSING.

The reason why our dps arent popping off is because you arent enabling them. But they refuse to acknowledge that.

Had the Healer pool tell me "Respect your ace x" while i was solo tanking on Strange asking him to not frontline while our invis was getting targeted for free at our backline by Hulk and Magik.

3. Forcing triple support right from the beginning.

- Because there is a Healerpool who wants to get mvp and dps more while accidently healing.

4. Having terrible positioning while telling rest of us that WE had horrible positioning

- Legit had a cnd pushing point alone while the whole team had them staggered in a chokepoint. We forced out their Fox to ult. But we lost the fight cause the cnd refused to move or heal us. We all were trying to get them to use healer ults off point, so that we are at an advantage. But no, that cnd thought she knew better.

- Had a HealerPool and Fox (they were duos) legitimately frontlining infront of the whole enemy team while they were coming out of spawn/ regrouping meanwhile us tanks and dps were on point trying to push as we were very low on time.

5. Not swapping to different healers with better ults or more suitable output to help the team according to what comp we have

- Had a Fox multiple times in different games who refuse to swap off Fox despite the comp. Fox is built as an antidive. You DONT play her if we are facing only poke. Had my Strange kept being obliterated because she refused to swap off Fox. Im sorry but i dont care how good you are on Fox, but she doesnt have enough healing output to keep me up while im shielding my team from a SG and Bucky hammering me down. Her ult kept getting countered by Thing ult and she was getting deleted in seconds, rendering it useless. But hey, shes a champ Fox, guess she knows better.

6. Main Character energy

-Luna. I think this is self explainatory. Luna mains have made me hate a character i once simped for. I sigh everytime i see a champ luna. They will genuinely have the worst healing output and twice the damage of the least performing dps with most deaths. Im sorry but that dps died more BECAUSE YOU WERR TRYING TO GET SNEAKY HEADSHOTS AND SNOWBALLS WHEN IT WASNT NEEDED. Champ Lunas are truly the spideys of healers. Either they will be goated ( which is a surprise for me atp) or they will get outhealed by our Fox or Jeff. Which to me, is embarrassing.

These are just a few examples of what ive been experiencing in GM lobbies. Its so bizzare that Gold and Plat healers have been 100 times better than GM healers.

Main reason? - They stick to their duties. They dont have the main character energy. They know nobody can run the lobby alone without their team with them. They pay attention to the plays our dps or tanks are making and support it. When they see a dive flanking, they ping them and not try to 1v1 them for aura farming.

Prime examples of egotistical healers :

- HealerPool

- Fox

-Luna

- to lesser extent cnd

The healers who i trust the most :

-Invis

-Rocket

-Mantis

-Jeff

I know its a lot to read. But its something that i wanted to ask you guys about your experience with this. Ive genuinely had the most tilting experiences with dps players before, but healers have taken then the crown of being the most egotistical once i went into GM.

PS: Not all healers ofcourse. Ive had some wonderful healers in GM lobbies as well but they are a rarity now.
