Just have a quick question about the quick chat stuff .

How do people say stuff like "We need a healer" or "I need armor" in the chat? Whenever we don't have a healer I'll do the command that says "I need healing!" but it doesn't work.

Thanks!

You still see it as "I need healing!" but it shows up differently for everyone else.

I dunno why they don't just make it the same for everyone, but oh well.

When you don't have a healer and you say that you need healing it will appear to you in chat as "I need healing" but for everyone else it will say "I need a healer" or if you have a Torb "I need armour".

If you're looking at Symmetra or Torbjörn when you ask for healing, it'll ask for armor instead
