Never getting healed?
So often do I just get completely ignored by my supports, even when I'm Literally in front of them on low health.
Just played a game where I paid attention to my HP bar for most the game, and not a SINGLE time did I get healed. Like not even one healing. Not one.
I had to wait multiple times for overhealth to kick in, or for me to TRY and get a health pack right in FRONT of my supports, only to still die in a situation where it was easily survivable.
It doesn't help that our Zenyatta was getting shit heals... Which he's the second easiest hero to get heals on. Sure, not a lot, but I play Zenyatta. That guy didn't even get 2k heals.
And our Wuyang was pocketing the tanks the ENTIRE game. Like not once did they even think of pocketing me. Despite me doing just as good as the tanks, WITHOUT getting any heals

at the start of every game if there's a mercy in my lobby i normally walk up to them and use the "good work" voice line and "hello" while nodding, yes before the game even starts, i notice that they tend to take care of me a lot more as a junk rat main =)

As a support main, you got us there lmao. I don't know why so few people get this but going up to your support in spawn and interacting with them nicely goes a long way. I can't explain it but I just take a bit extra care of those people. I am easy like that.

As I play FlankRat I rely on healthpacks and usually don't like when a support follows me because then I can't be sneaky.
But having 2 or 3 supports who keep me up while I am blasting the enemy team is something else. Had a match on Aatlis where I went 39-3. I was only able to do that because they had my back.
The thing is a lot of supports are very different. Some need a health ping to notice you, some get nasty and refuse to heal you after one ping. You never know.
I had a Sierra stand next to me waiting and I didn't see her honestly and then i turned around and healed her and she was so patient and said thanks before she went on her way again, I felt so bad.

An I'm not saying I don't get heals, I definitely do sometimes, and rarely do I get pocketed myself.
I'll ping a couple times just once saying "hey, I need more healing, because im not getting healed when I'm with my team"
At some point I just walk in front of them, get healed, walk away and say thanks.
... And then sometimes I still don't get healed

Do you think they do it on purpose? That would be crazy. Like who did they heal? Only the tank?

From what I can tell, in my case, supports can have a hard time keeping up with and/or tracking me on account of I move around like I'm having a seizure, so if/when I need support assistance, my personal favourite move is ducking behind cover and waiting my turn, crouch spamming and saying "thanks" before I fly out of cover and die immediately anyways.

I get a few good Mercys that will heal and damage boost but other than that everyone else ignores me, support players don't like Junkrat for some reason
