Of course this is my personal ranking list, so don’t get offended please.
i included even possibly (off) healers because they are actually worth mentioning.
i decided to name this list “healer” and not support, because other champs out of the “support class” can heal, and some “non support” champs are supports to me (like torvald, for example)
ss
At the moment there are no SS healers. SS means “must pick to grant victory” type of healer, but cauterize counters all of them.
s+
I believe furia is the best healer in the game right now. With the right loadout you can heal 1k + 250Shield (for flanks maybe) and heal the tanks with the beam that heals 6k/s (300 every 0.05s).
to reduce the cool down of the beam, just use the card that lowers the cooldown when hitting wings of wrath. Every single hit (3) will lower said amount.
s
Grover: very Map dependend, but in small maps or maps with a lot of obstacles, he can heal the whole team.
he can heal trough walls, and heal himself. Ult grants CC immunity and heals a lot allies in range.
Seris: She can spam 2k heals like nothing and healing 30% nearby allies to the healed target. She is pretty easy to flank, so the loadout should always have.
1) Heal cooldown reduction
2) cd red. of shadow travel when healing
3) caster casting of shadow travel
4) movement speed in shadow travel.
s-
Damba and Ying both are hit scan healers that require pinpoint accuracy to heal the target. And with controller it can be very hard to hit those heals.
But the devs gave them some “easy alternatives” to heal.
Damba: has the gourd that can additionally give lifesteal to the healing target (can be huge)
Ying: has auto aiming Clones that can heal a decent amount, just be sure to put spring bloom in you loadout.
additionally her ult heals everyone 0,8k/s, and the ability to teleport to any ally while active (useful to reach out quickly for a tank)
a+
She is really great, but is easily counterable and flankable.
despite the fact that she can act as an off-tank when needed (contesting the payload or the point in OT, for example), she also heals a decent amount.
luna heals 300/s and her Moonlight 800/s.
with the right loadout it’s pretty easy to move Luna (pet) where needed and have the resources to output heals.
a
Jenos always has the big numbers at the end of the game, but the lack of burst heal is just bad.
danage buff is great, but it’s not as important if you can’t keep your tank alive.
i consider him a “flank healer”.
a-
Pip is actually a great support.
Mega Potion: a 2,4k heal in an AOE can almost full health heal a tank, with the cooldown reduction he can throw 2 potions in a row. That’s a 4,8k heal.
Combat medic: heals for 600hp/s (in the next patch this number will rise to 800), it’s a shatter heal of Ying every second in an AOE.
additionally pip has still a 1,2k potion for extreme burst heal or self heal.
he is not higher in this list because of the movement ability (will not help much with flankers) and his head hitbox is huge X.X
b
Grohk: he can heal a decent amount but the cooldowns are pretty long. The tempest is a Great ult, but at the end of the day he is better played ad a dmg champ.
With Spirits Domain it’s almost impossible to track allies.
skye on the other hand can be a great off-healer and in emergency cases even an healer.
With the right cooldown resets and cards to make the smoke bomb last longer, the 80 tick heals can make a difference. But as a main healer... meh... not really a thing.
c
You would never want to play khan as a healer, but his off healing potential is really there. 1K healing at the right moment can turn a team fight in your favor.
Additionally battle shout grants damage immunity for 2s (only to khan) and deny Skye ults, term ult and take some of the Ruckus ult giving cover to the team.
d
Moji has a healing talent, but it’s barely noticeable.
It acts like a little jenos heal for 3 seconds, without the damage buff obviously.
The good thing is that the healing talent heals the caster, so champs (like her) with build in rejuvenate (ex: under 50% health gain 20% healing) can help you and your team to survive a little longer (ritroso useful if the main healer heals are on cooldown).
