I Think League Needs a New Male Healer

Sterek is Love··36 votes·3,326 views

The title says it really but what I mean is, the only male healer is Taric. And maybe Bard, I haven't actually read Bard's lore but I kinda see Bard as either a he or she, there's really no defining point visually. Back in season 1 I know Ezreal used to heal with his w and honestly I think that's cool, I joined in season 4 but I wish I was around to see that one.

In terms of champions that are considered "healers" or "medic squad" we don't really have many :( Janna Nami Sona Soraka Taric Bard I'm not including champions like Ekko or Irelia...Xin, they aren't healers. Self-healing isn't considered a healer as I see it, these champions can heal teammates, and a majority of them are female, and the only defined male is technically a tank.

You may disagree you may not, but I personally think League could use a squishy male humanoid healer. I would buy whoever he is in a heartbeat.

I've already explained this to a few people and I'm not repeating myself anymore. Yes, I forgot a few. Nidalee Kayle Alistar Shen Lulu

Normally I wouldn't consider Shen and Lulu but I saw them and figured why not, someone brought up Shen already might as well.

I'd honestly like this as well. A Priest/Cleric-esque character would be cool. One that can Purge debuffs and all that jazz.

I 100% agree with you, maybe a priest kind of character or something. League could really use more male healers, cause personally, they are all feminine other then bard. Not being mean but Taric isn't the manliest of champions if you know what I mean. Alistar has a heal I guess but it is so weak and usless. So I think another male healer would be great. By the way, Bard is 100% a man, come on. He has a beard, the name bard even sounds like a man's name. Plus look at how he looks I don't think that is how a lady should look. Maybe I am miss understanding you and you think he has no gender but I think bard is a male character.

I was under the impression that Taric is the manliest of all champions.

Does he have pink legwarmers in the wardrobe? Nope

Taric and Braum would make the manliest couple in existence.

No, that title is a contested one between Braum and XinZhao . I honestly think XinZhao wins it because he has a theme song.

Even including Zilean, we're still at an inbalance because Fiora is now part of the support medic squad with that incredible ult. I'd like to see a ranged male AP nuke/healer champ, maybe involving some life siphoning/transferring and some purging spells.

Marcia3 votes

I get the imbalance, but that never stopped the gender ratio of champions being fixed in League of Legends. I don't think gender is kept in mind in most cases, and this coming from someone who would like to see more Male support champions and more Female... everything else.

Laughing Fish2 votes

Zilean has the strongest heal in the game: Chronoshift. He is also a "squishy male humanoid".

Sterek is Love2 votes

He is not considered part of the "healers" or "medic squad" thank you though. His ult may be misused, and therefor fail completely, and I wouldn't really consider it a heal, it's a revive, or free item 3026 if you will. His ult does not heal a champion who is still alive.

Laughing Fish2 votes

Actually, his ult takes place before any reviving abilities such as Guardian Angel, Karthus' passive, etc. The champion enters stasis right before their death, and then heals. It does not revive as they never actually died. It is a very specific heal, but it is a heal none the less.

Sterek is Love2 votes

ACTIVE: Zilean places a protective time rune on the target ally champion or himself for 5 seconds. If the target takes fatal damage during that time, they are instead put in Stasis icon stasis for 2 seconds and are revived with a set amount of health.

Taken straight from the wiki page. Fatal = Death. As well, it clearly says "revive." Zilean is not a healer. You're arguing a mute point.

You're arguing a moot point.

Thank you for correcting me. I'd rather be corrected then keep saying it wrong.

I've actually got a character concept for this, but instead of a cleric/priest type, he's actually more of a Plague guy. I can post his stats up if you'd like.

If her wave healed...ohmigawd the teamfights

Maple Crusader2 votes

Then people need to stop giving healers shit. Soraka's been taking nothing but heat by people.

Maratsune2 votes

I agree. I'd say Bard is genderless btw, no need to give them a definitive gender. But yeah, a heal-y support that's a dude would be nice. Perhaps a squishy one this time.

Blue Moon Wolf2 votes

Shen is a healer, oh wait... looks at riot Riot: What? his Q's heal was hard to read and no one would take advantage of it. ... fair enough T_T

I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of dark paladin that heals his allies off of the pain of his enemies.

Alistar's heal is utter crap. Though it does heal every allied unit in an area... but who cares about healing minions? :I

TheTarians2 votes

I believe the reason that most of the healers in the game are female is due to the usual idea of women being caretakers. Almost all through out history, we see women being the caretakers of crops and new borns. So I think it is only natural that the "caretakers" would be explicitly female. That is my take on it anyways.

RayowinOfThe2 votes

logged in just to upvote. I totally agree. ya know,maybe a champion with all heals,or debuffs and like, an offensive ulti. or some chiz.Sona

Maximum Morde1 votes

You forgot Alistar and Mordekaiser.

Sterek is Love1 votes

Yeah I forgot Ali, don't see him much or play him enough to remember him honestly. But Morde? Pretty certain he does not heal teammates, and like I had already said I do not consider self-healing champs to be a "medic."

Maximum Morde1 votes

He does. Mordekaiser's W heals team mates if they have targets inside the circle for it to damage when it pops.

SexySoapTurtle1 votes

Yes because centering gender around a new champion is essential to their story, gameplay, and lore.

Sterek is Love1 votes

Lore, potentially yes. Story? That is lore. Gameplay? Quite actually. The visual is actually a big difference between a male and a female model.

Candurill1 votes

Hey, i made concepts for two male healers :D One is Sham'a, The Candle Maker who is a guardian-spirit and light bringer from Shurima that protects people with magic candles. The other is Chayon, The Shepherd of the Afterlife who is a Ionian spirit that guides lost souls to the beyond. Maybe you could take a look :)

I wouldn't really consider most of these guys healers(obviously except soraka and maybe taric),I mean they heal,but their kit isn't focused too much on it.

LankPants1 votes

You should probably add Kayle , Nidalee and Alistar .

ComannderShepard1 votes

would you take an updated Taric as your healer?

Sterek is Love1 votes

No, he's still tanky and not a squishy mage sort of champion.

Hoodwink1 votes

If you want males to heal you, play Galio .

Maple Crusader2 votes

But only Galio benefits.

And as I explained already, self-healing is not a "healer."
